His inability to called the attack what it is &ndash; Islamic jihad &ndash; has progressed from denial to psychosis. It&rsquo;s never been more apparent than Sunday, when Barack was comparing the Pulse club attack to a movie theater shooting by a schizophrenic, that our poor president has lost his own grasp of reality.<\/p>\n<p>He also insulted some &ldquo;leftwing <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> activists&rdquo; who posted &ldquo;ridiculous and ignorant remarks&rdquo; about the attack, namely CNN commentator Sally Kohn, who &ldquo;blamed all religions&rdquo; &nbsp;and blogger Perez Hilton who blamed the NRA.<\/p>\n<p>Hoft wrote that he came out to his family and friends in the 1980&rsquo;s during the AIDS epidemic, a &ldquo;scary time to be <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>.&rdquo; But he never felt the need to come out publicly: &ldquo;Like most <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> Americans, I don&rsquo;t wear my sexuality on my sleeve.
