So called candidate for the Democrats.
Ummmm,
yeah:
"Don't hold this against me, but I'm going to blurt it out. How do I say this ... men in the South, they are a little effeminate," he offered when I mentioned the stunning news. When I asked him what he meant, he added, "They just have effeminate mannerisms. If you were just a regular person, you turned on the TV, and you saw Eric Cantor talking, I would say—and I'm fine with gay people, that's all right—but my gaydar is 60-70 percent. But he's not, I think, so I don't know. Again, I couldn't care less. I'm accepting.")
Anytime I see these kind of qualifiers, like 'i'm fine with gay people' my red flag hoists up the pole.
Alrighty then. So, on top of finding Mitt Romney to be 'a fun guy,' and asking Romney's oil billionaire donors what sorts of help they need from him(Populist!), travelling circus act Brian Schweitzer seems to have mastered the sublime art of figuring out if people are gay from watching them on TV.
Oh, and did I mention the he thinks Dianne Feinstein is a former prostitute?
"She was the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, 'I'm a nun,' when it comes to this spying!" he says. Then, he adds, quickly, "I mean, maybe that's the wrong metaphor—but she was all in!"
Yeah...that's definitely the wrong one, Brian. Plenty of men have exactly the same position as Feinstein, but Schweitzer wouldn't compare them to prostitutes. Unless they showed up on his TV 'gaydar.'
Lets not forget he has no idea why Mitt Romney lost the election, can't think of one single good thing President Obama has done, or his proudly touted NRA endorsements.
What we can safely say, and this is being generous, is that Brian Schweitzer is a loose cannon and definitely not ready for prime time. His type of clown show antics might sell very well in the sparsely populated Mountain West, but that isn't where the gravitational center of the Democratic Party is. By far.
So, thanks for playing Brian. NEXT!!!

then, It’s going to take a while to unpack this. First, are you sure you’re super accepting, Brian Schweitzer, given that out of nowhere you needed to talk about how Cantor seems kinda sorta gay, though you think he maybe isn’t, but whatevs, you’re cool with it? Because that is not actually how “accepting” usually sounds. Second, and perhaps most importantly, who the hell ranks their gaydar and gives it a percentage score? Like, does he sit in the bar and declare the sexualities of any given group of ten people, and he’s usually right six or seven times? What does he do if he meets bisexuals? Does that break the gaydar, or is he extra good at spotting them? Also, dude, if your logic is “I see effeminate guys and I think they’re probably gay” that is not actually gaydar. That’s just being a bigot.
