Oklahoma Republican thinks stoning gay people is okay
But, when asked by a reporter at the Moore Daily, an Oklahoma news website, to clarify his statements, Esk doubled down.
What I will tell you right now is that that was done in the Old Testament under a law that came directly from God, and in that time it was totally just, it came directly from God, Esk said.
I have no plans to reinstitute that in Oklahoma Law, Esk continued. I do have some very huge moral misgivings about those kinds of sins, and I think those kinds of sins will not do our country any good and certainly dont do anything to preserve the family.
Esk has a right to say/believe whatever he wants. I have no quibble with him on that.
I have a right to say it is hurting the tea party goals for governance (if he is indeed affiliated with the tea party).
