Rep. Andy Ogles is taking again his anti-gay tweet that brought about a stir Tuesday … however claims he is not the one who posted it within the first place!
Test it out — the Tennessee GOP rep advised followers the “stupid, hurtful” message was posted by somebody on his communications crew when he was engaged on his farm and referred to as it a “complete distraction” from his “America First focus.” He additionally claimed the worker was reprimanded.
Earlier right this moment whereas engaged on the farm, my telephone started going loopy due to a submit made by a member of my comms crew.
The submit was silly, hurtful and an entire distraction from my America First focus. The worker has been reprimanded.

No phrase on the worker behind the tweet.
We advised you all about it — Ogles tweeted on Tuesday that “homosexuality has no place in America” and wished followers a “Happy Nuclear Family Month” — an obvious dig at Satisfaction Month, which kicked off Monday. The tweet was ultimately deleted … however after it made rounds on-line.
We caught up with Ogles’ fellow Republican congressman Rep. Mike Lawler in Washington, DC after the tweet turned heads … who slammed him as a “f***ing idiot” for isolating a few of his fellow Individuals.
Ted Cruz additionally pushed again on Ogles’ assertion, telling us … “the behavior of consenting adults is their business.”
Seems like Ogles may need to maintain a better eye on his social handles going ahead!
