NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN: DON’T BACK GAY CANDIDATES

New Jersey Congressman Scott Garrett is drawing the ire of some members of his own party due to a controversial statement he made about gay political candidates. Garrett announced that he was not contributing to the House Republican’s fundraising arm because it backed candidates who are gay. Political experts say Garrett was a shoo-in to win re-election in 2016, but this comment has changed the playing field.
