Wingnuts will believe anything, and they will also lie about anything.
Here is disgraced former chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt explaining that Barack Obama is forcing transgender equality on the military by changing the Marines’ hats to a new unisex design. This, of course, is not true in any way, shape or form, but it’s a better narrative for the not-so-bright cohort of folks who listen to not-so-bright people like Gordon Klingenschmitt:
A few weeks ago, the Right was all up in arms over a story claiming that President Obama was forcing the Marines to switch to “girly” unisex hats. The story was, of course, entirely untrue, but that didn’t stop “Dr. Chaps” Gordon Klingenschmitt for talking about it on his “Pray In Jesus Name” program today in order to assert that it was all part of Obama’s plan to allow transgender soldiers to serve in the military by turning “all of the Marines into an abomination” before God.
“You can’t have men in the United States Marines wearing clothing that’s designed for women,” Klingenschmitt said. “So you know what President Obama’s solution is? To make all the uniforms the same. And this is going to usher in the possibility of transgender, cross-dressing men who want to look like women, they’ll be able to wear a women’s uniform.”
Of course, by definition, a “unisex” uniform is neither male nor female so a man or woman who wears one is not actually wearing a uniform designed and designated for the opposite sex. And even though President Obama had nothing to do with it and it’s not happening, Klingenschmitt knows what is really going on.
Oof. Of course, we assume Klingenschmitt is also intimidated by unisex t-shirts, as they are obviously sent by demons to confuse him over whether or not he’s a dude:
“This is not just a fashion stunt,” he said, but rather an effort at “setting the stage for transgender admission of cross-dressing men into the military.”
“This decision came down from on high, I guarantee it,” he added, “and that’s a demonic spirit.”
Demons. Using fake hats to make the military transgender, a term he doesn’t even actually understand, calling them “men who dress like women.”
