Last May, Jeopardy! contestant Louis Virtel earned social media fame when he gaily snapped after providing the right question during the Daily Double.
Today Virtel is furious because House Republicans are using a GIF of his snap to promote their “exclusive behind-the-scenes look at President Obama’s final State of the Union address” via Snapchat.
Virtel: “Hey, GOP! Your candidates are horrifying garbage who’ve done nothing for LGBT rights. Don’t use my image.”
Suh-NAP!
Dear @GOP: The reason people liked my snap was because it defied regressive, homophobic, scary-ass losers like you. https://t.co/N1zddPOeZR
