MSNBC Host Openly Mocks Gay Conservative in On-Air Interview

"Why on God's green earth are you a Republican?" MSNBC's Cenk Uygur asked GOProud chairman Christopher Barron. Instead of discussing the recent denunciation of his group by other conservative organizations -- which is likely why Barron was invited on to speak in the first place -- the MSNBC "interview" consisted only of Uygur mocking and laughing at Barron to his face, dismissing the notions that someone could be both gay and conservative (apparently being gay is the only issue Uygur thinks gays care about) and that conservatives are a "welcoming" crowd.

How very tolerant of him...

“I have an easier time being openly gay with conservatives than I do being a conservative with other gay people,” Barron said.
