Small Town Politician Exposed For Writing Nasty Antigay Tweets

Small Town Politician Exposed For Writing Nasty Antigay Tweets

bellamy_mina-pirasteh

Meet Wes Bellamy. He is the Vice Mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia who is currently facing calls for resignation after a series of tweets written between 2009 and 2014 in which he refers to gay people as “faggots” and makes disparaging remarks about women were unearthed from the bowels of his Twitter page.

The tweets were discovered by self-proclaimed “pro-free speech, anti-affirmative action, anti-cultural Marxist and pro-equality” blogger Jason Kessler, who shared them on his website last week. In one of the tweets, written back in October 2011, Bellamy answered a question prompted by another user “Does it make males uncomfortable wen girls are so upfront about sex??” with “It only makes faggots uncomfortable.”

In another tweet from that same time, Bellamy insinuates that women in leadership roles (i.e. school principals, teachers, etc.) turn little boys gay, writing: “I’m all for equal opportunity…but a Female principal with a school full of female teachers is fkn a sure fire way to fk our lil boys up smh.”

But that’s just the top of the iceberg. Here are some more screenshots from Bellamy’s account:

Since the tweets went viral, 30-year-old Bellamy has issued a statement on Facebook, calling the tweets “disrespectful” and “ignorant” and assuring people that they are not representative of who he is today:

But not everyone is sure about Kessler’s motivations for publishing the tweets.

Nikuyah Walker, a member of the Albemarle-Charlottesville NAACP, said while she finds what Bellamy wrote “alarming,” she questioned why Kessler dug so far back into his private Twitter account, which includes almost 123,000 tweets.

“Wes is a black male,” she hypothesizes. “You often face a different level of scrutiny.”

The Daily Progress also points out that Kessler frequently tweets about “alt-right” issues and just last week posted on his Facebook that he is considering a run for City Council to “protect” the city’s Confederate statues and “curtail institutional racial discrimination (i.e. affirmative action).”

Anyway Billy Gilman

Out former child country star Billy Gilman shows no signs of slowing down as he slaughtered Top 10 week with a 10-year-old classic from Martina McBride that allowed him to showcase the huge notes he’s become known for.

Gossip Cop reports:

Now 10 years after its release, Gilman revealed in rehearsal that McBride was actually instrumental in leading him to his original record deal. Levine said he didn’t want to “force” a country track on Gilman, but the contestant was right at home belting out the inspirational track. And his performance, which kicked off the two-hour live broadcast, earned a standing ovation from all four coaches.

Blake Shelton said afterward, “I’m happy to see Billy go back to the [country] well for a little bit, even if it’s just for a moment.” Miley Cyrus admitted, “At this point in the competition, that’s not good for us, but it’s really good for you… As a coach, I’m flipping out.” She even added, “It just heightened what you already are, which is maybe the winner of ‘The Voice.’”

aaron schockCORRUPTION. Former GOP Congressman Aaron Schock wants to move his trial from Springfield, Illinois to his hometown of Peoria: “In a filing Monday afternoon, Schock’s attorneys said that none of the “alleged misconduct occurred in Springfield, and no significant witness, if any witness, lives in Springfield. Yet the [U.S. attorney] chose to file this case not in Peoria — where the [U.S. attorney] maintains an office mere blocks from the federal courthouse — but in Springfield. The only basis for doing so appears to be the prosecutor’s convenience.”

DRUNK HISTORY. Get ready for the Lin-Manuel Miranda edition.

Former Playboy Playmate pleads not guilty in case stemming from her posting a photo of a nude woman in her gym’s shower: “Dani Mathers, 29, was not in court as her lawyer entered a not guilty plea on her behalf to a misdemeanor count of invasion of privacy. Mathers, Playboy’s Miss May in 2014, was not required to be in court on Monday. ‘She very much regrets what happened,’ Mather’s attorney Tom Mesereau told reporters. ‘She apologized for her behavior and we’re looking forward to resolving this case in a very fair manner.’”

POST-FACTUAL DEMOCRACY. Nate Silver fact-checks Kellyanne Conway’s claim that Trump won historic landslide: “Lined up alongside the last 10 elections, Silver noted that Trump’s win was “actually way below average for a winner’s total,” coming in with more electoral votes than just President George W. Bush.”

Actually way below average for a winner’s total:
