RNC Member: Gays Cause Murder

A former Michigan lawmaker and current Republican National Committee member is facing calls to resign over comments he made about gays on Facebook. Dave Agema passed along factually dubious claims such as the assertion that gays "account for half the murders in large cities." Republican operative Dennis Lennos objected to the comments and responded, "This is about common decency and realizing that you cannot win an election by insulting a wide swath of the electorate, whose votes our Republican Party needs to once again form a national majority."
