An opinion columnist for USA Today was shredded on social media after posting a “despicable” message celebrating the destruction of the home of a Florida congressman.
Rep. Joe Harding, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, saw his Central Florida home damaged by severe weather that rolled through the region over the weekend. And columnist Michael J. Stern thought it was great news since Harding is the author of the Parental Rights in Education bill – the legislation dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by the hysterical left.
Good thing Stern is “not a believer” or he might have to answer to a higher power about his disgusting take.
“I’m not a believer, but the tornado that just ripped apart the home of the author of Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law is making me reconsider,” he tweeted Wednesday, responding to news about Harding’s home.
“Hey, Joe Harding (@josephbharding), God thinks you’re a rotten bigot and just bitch-slapped you,” he added.

WOW!!!! That’s some pretty hateful shit coming from somebody that clearly didn’t read the bill.

Yep. We can tell you are not a believer. A true believer would never think such a thing, much less make the statement public.

Rooting for someone to be harmed because teachers shouldn’t be talking to young children about sex is about as evil as you can get.

What a complete piece of shit you are.
And illiterate to boot, apparently.

Another adult that’s annoyed about not being able to teach kindergarten kids about sex.

Sir – you need help. Besides this one tweet, the majority of your others show a common pattern of hate & intolerance of fellow human beings who have different opinions & beliefs than your own. Seriously, get help.
