Rupert Murdoch: LGBT advocacy in Clinton The Democratic Frontrunner speech ‘almost fascist’

Rupert Murdoch described as “almost fascist” Hillary Clinton’s remarks in support of anti-discrimination protections for LGBT Americans during her campaign launch speech on Saturday.

Murdoch falsely claimed during a stream of tweets referencing her June 13 speech that Clinton had “promise— outlaw free speech about LGBT,” adding, “Sounds almost fascist.”

It’s unclear to what Murdoch was referring. During her speech, Clinton stated that “we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.” Earlier, she recognized “business leaders who want higher pay for employees, equal pay for women and no discrimination against the LGBT community either.”

In recent months, Clinton has urged the Supreme Court to rule in favor of marriage equality and condemned proposed so-called “religious freedom” legislation in Arkansas and Indiana on the grounds that they provide a legal defense ”beyond protecting religion“ for business owners who discriminate against LGBT people.

OMFG, some on the far left says she is to conservative, and the far right says she is more conservative than them! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_(insult)

That's why the rest of the people love her so much!
