Jumping to conclusions there...

That is the best response I've ever seen!
---

that guy is deep in the closet holy shit.
---

He came under immediate criticism for the comments, and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party has called on Metcalfe, who has served in the statehouse since 1999, to resign from office.

CNN has reached out to both Metcalfe and Bradford's offices. Asked Wednesday if it was inappropriate to respond as he did, Metcalfe told CBSPhilly, "the homosexual crowd thinks that they can, you know, flaunt their sexuality routinely throughout the course of the day and throughout our government now and debate after debate."

Metcalfe has reportedly been a longtime opponent of same-sex marriage and homosexuality. In 2015, he called the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage "judicial tyranny."

"It shows what tyrants they are when they think that they can place themselves above God's law, above natural law, and above the will of the American people as we've seen it expressed in state after state after state," he told PennLive at the time.

dude has always been a steaming pile of shit.

yeah.... this should never be coming out of a lawmaker's mouth

Pretty weird he'd go straight to gay stuff instead of just asking the guy to stop touching him.

dude is fucking gross.
---

Totally thought it was going to be Toomey.
---

Dese people are making laws? Ridiculous

I like how the guy who touched his arm had a face that was like "uh oh wow".
---

Well that was certainly an overreaction

talk about projection.
---

"Hey look, a pretty butterfly!"
"I'M STRAIGHT I DON'T LIKE PRETTY THINGS STOP MAKING ME GAY"
---

That's the kind of dude that thinks homosexuality is contagious.
---

He felt bad that he got a boner.
---

He sounds like he's trying really hard to convince himself
---

Wow... just wow. He's so far in the closet his closet has a closet.
---

Maybe he's been touching him like that for some time and he boiled over the edge? Maybe he's told him this in private before but this guy keeps doing it. Maybe he was fed up and figured the only way was to publicly humiliate the guy. You can't be touching people like that - it's harassment.

You people want it both ways. No. A man has a right to say he doesn't want to be touched. You guys don't feel bad because it's a white male - real talk.

Hahahaha

He can say please stop touching me but he went on a whole spiel about being Gay. That's when it becomes not okay.

'I'm not gonna deny it's not a possibility that he is a closet gay (and trying his damndest to push away the thoughts), but maybe he just went over the edge with anger, too.

I'm not defending it entirely. I'm open to both possibilities. You guys will just rush right in with what you think is right, though.

Read my posts. I keep saying "maybe"

But alas, nobody bothers trying to understand the enigma that is Caution >_>

no one is denying that it might have been a multiple time thing and that he just got angry...the thing is when you're angry you tend to say stuff without a filter...and the fact that his mind went immediately to "you might be gay but i'm not!" out of anger is both stupid and suspect...If some dude was constantly touching me in that context and i didn't like it I really doubt my VERY FIRST reaction of anger would be "OMG IM NOT GAY!"....we're assuming that there could be something deeper going on with him given what his immediate reaction was.
---

If you're not denying it might've been a multiple time thing, then you wouldn't assume that it's his "VERY FIRST" reaction, bud.

Sigh, this sounds like something someone from my state would do.

by multiple time thing i mean his arm being touched, not him reacting to his arm being touched.

this man is 1000% gay
---

if he had touched a female's arm he'd be arrested for sexual assault

why is it wrong for a man not to want to be touched too?
---

n June 2013, after the Defense of Marriage Act had been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, openly gay state representative Brian Sims tried to make a speech in the Pennsylvania House supporting the decision. Metcalfe, who was one of several representatives who blocked Sims from speaking, said, "I did not believe that as a member of that body that I should allow someone to make comments such as he was preparing to make that ultimately were just open rebellion against what the word of God has said, what God has said, and just open rebellion against God's law."[

What the actual fuck

Bradford talking about the incident.

He's either gay or has the mind of a middle school child.

Dude appears to be a clear piece of shit.

So of course Caution defended him

Their both pieces of shit.. if you watch the video Vyrulisse posted, Bradford admits Metcalfe has asked him times in the past to stop touching him, yet he still continually does it.

Americans in general are way too uptight about touching. Like a light tap on the arm is a 100% normal form of communication.

His touches are more attention getting touches. Some people are like that out of habit and don't even realize they do it.

Bradford did nothing wrong in that situation. Metcalfe was way out of line in his response.
---

The gay thing was a bit out of line. If someone is touching me like that and don't stop I'll just give them a good shove or a good smack. Usually that's enough to do the trick.
