Here is the one hundred thirty-fourth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Faux Noise Emcee, Marshall McPeek, aka McPuke, honored for the level of bigotry against LQBTQ folk that comes from the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, Faux Noise<\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0910Marshall-McPeek\"The emcee at an LGBT journalists\u2019 organization annual conference Saturday night called attendees \u201cthings and its<\/strong>.\u201d Marshall McPeek, a meteorologist at a Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate station in Ohio later apologized and resigned his membership to The Association of LGBTQ Journalists (NLGJA).<\/p>\n

\u201cLadies and gentlemen, things and its,\u201d were the words McPeek chose to begin the evening\u2019s event in Palm Springs, California, which was hosted by Fox News.<\/p>\n

But it was a tweet from Mary Emily O\u2019Hara, who covers LGBTQ news for Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s them, that drew attention to McPeek\u2019s offensive remarks. Those remarks were seen as especially bigoted toward the transgender and non-binary journalism professionals in attendance… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
