Scroll To Top

Rachel Maddow sits down with Truth Wins Out's Wayne Besen to talk about Republican U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell and the "ex-gay" movement she supports.

The two talk about Wade Richards, a former employee of O'Donnell's who at the time claimed to be "cured of homosexuality" and later came out in The Advocate. On Thursday he wrote an article for The Daily Beast questioning O'Donnell's antigay attitudes -- she has a gay sister.
