“We need to be more homophobic. We need to take it up a notch because these people have continued to do this because we failed to shame them.

Media Matters has the transcript: How should we respond? By strongly worded op-eds? Tweets. Maybe a hearing or two. How should Republicans respond to Fulton County?
