Pat Boone, the singer turned conservative political commentator, says
the White House needs to be tented in order to get rid of the
“parasites, vermin, roaches, rats, worms, and termites” that have found
their way into the government.
Amongst
Boone’s list of “political voracious varmints” is Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, who was appointed by Obama as
assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
within the U.S. Department of Education.
“I believe, figuratively, but in a very real way, we need to tent the White House!” wrote Boone in a commentary for the conservative Christian news site World Net Daily.
Boone refers to Jennings as a “czar” and “extreme gay activist.”
The religious crooner also falsely claims that Jennings “praised the late gay rights activist Harry Hay for his defense of [the North American Man/Boy Love Association].”
The accusations, also reported by the Fox Nation website and the Washington Examiner, stem from a speech Jennings made in 1997, reports Media Matters.
In the speech, Jennings did applaud Hay for cofounding the Mattachine Society, one of the nation's earliest lasting gay rights organizations, but his comments did not involve NAMBLA.
In the fervent commentary, Boone also claims that Obama is filling the White House with “socialists, extreme leftists, and even proud, boastful Marxists,” all of which he says need to be sent to “varmint hell.”
