“Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness had to defend himself on Wednesday after he was ripped for urging his fans to be tolerant of other ideas and saying that not all Republicans were evil and racist.

Van Ness decided to get political on Twitter following the results of Tuesday’s primary results.

“Luckily a lot [of] extreme right people won yesterday, meaning that if we can come up w center left candidates we can take back the house & senate, not to mention many state legislatures. It is so important for the left to not go too left or we are done for,” he said.

“Not all republicans are racist,” he added later. “Just like not all democrars [sic] are evil, we have to stop demonizing each other,” he continued. “Unless you’re actually racist then you suck, Trump is Racist – not all his voters are necessarily we gotta remember we are all in this together.”

Trump isn't racist! Most Republicans aren't either. Many Democrats are.

In fact very few Republicans are bigoted. Democrats are a different story.

Well, even Robespierre eventually wasn’t radical enough for the mob. This guy Van Ness needs to understand that if he’s going to be radical Left, he has to just stick with the program. ALL Republicans are evil racists. Don’t question that or else YOU are just as bad as a Republican.

This idiot is standing in the middle of the wondering why he’s getting hit by traffic from both directions. Meanwhile, is “Queer Eye” still a thing? I thought that show died a decade ago.

The show didn’t just die, it crashed and burned.

“Fabulous” is overrated. And a bit off-putting.

Anyone who portrays Whites as privileged oppressors is racist.

Not all Democrats are racist. Some are simply stupid, or feel entitled to others’ wealth.

I should think gays would be very concerned about Islamofascists gaining power here and tossing them off of buildings.
