Conservatives show their bigotry again.

Conservatives: Sean Patrick Maloney's 'extravagant' wedding video shows he's out of touch


DAN FRIEDMAN, CELESTE KATZ

Conservatives are trashing, not toasting, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney's top-shelf wedding, saying the festivities -- replete with fireworks and drone-shot video -- show he's out of touch with the common man.

"It’s wedding season! For most folks, that means seeing old friends and celebrating the exciting future of two newlyweds," said a scathing web post on AmericaRisingPAC.org, a Republican oppo site.

"But apparently for 'the other half,' like Congressman Sean “Everyman” Maloney, it means elaborate fireworks displays and drones to film the day’s events in idyllic Cold Spring, New York! Drones!"

The post, which labels Maloney's clip of his union to longtime parter Randy Flourke the "Most Extravagant Wedding Video of All Time," is also a tacit reminder that the lawmaker is gay.
