Nephew of Republican Vicky Hartzler calls her a 'homophobe' on TikTok

Republican representative for Missouri Vicky Hartzler tearfully asked colleagues in the House of Representatives to vote against the Respect for Marriage Act, which forces states without marriage equality laws to recognise LGBTQ+ marriages from other states.

Hartzler has faced a backlash for calling the bill 'misguided and dangerous', including criticism from her nephew on TikTok. Andrew Hartzler called his aunt a 'homophobe', saying 'you're just going to have to learn how to co-exist with all of us'. Vicky Hartzler has not yet responded to her nephew's video, which has been 'liked' over 200,000 times on TikTok.

Thank you for speaking for us all young man. Hard to believe you are related to that crazy woman. Peace.

This is not something she should be crying over. We have people who don’t have clean water and/or cannot put food on their tables!

She will wear this around her neck for the rest of her short career.

Soooo….it seems the problem here is the Christo-religious system and not really about love and compassion 🤔

Usually, if you have a family member that you suspect is mentally imbalanced and capable of harming themselves or others They should be reported to the authorities. This lady's words and actions fit that scenario... But she's a Congress woman, so I guess that makes it all OK...

For a moment then I thought I was in 1970 with Nixon in the Whitehouse, then I snapped out of it and realised this lady is a black hole of the past and has been stuck there all this time ... with the Carpenters and bubblegum jive !!!

Another intellectually and educationally challenged politician, this aunt Vicky.
Creation thrives on variety, otherwise creation would have already died.
