A Republican House member spoke in support of a Ugandan law that doles out a death penalty for 'aggravated homosexuality'

Rep. Tim Walberg traveled to Uganda to voice his support for the country's law that sentences people to death for "aggravated homosexuality."

A Republican member of the House of Representatives spoke in support of a Ugandan law that provides the death penalty for those convicted of "aggravated homosexuality."

In his speech, Walberg, a former pastor, railed against "the World Health Organization, or the United Nations, or sadly some in our administration in America" that have been outspoken against a new Ugandan law from May criminalizing homosexuality.

The law not only allows for 20-year sentences for "promoting homosexuality," but also stipulates death for "serial offenders."

This is the result of US Christian Evangelical influence in Africa. I am not surprised someone in the GOP would use this as a model for a US law.

I did not say otherwise, but I still find it crazy and for a country like the states that are literally it is secular based always has been ( in fact the founders of this country ( several) were deists so not only was this country not meant to be a "Christian nation", but several founders were not even Christians themselves.

Since when has the 'truth' of history mattered to those with an agenda?
