Thread by @ZackFord

My brilliant colleague @imillhiser is up on @IngrahamAngle to discuss the Masterpiece Cakeshop case with a lawyer from the anti-LGBTQ hate group @AllianceDefends. #OpenToAll

2. Here's the clip of the interview. Let's fact check a couple things, because @AllianceDefends' Jim Campbell and @IngrahamAngle get quite a few things about #MasterpieceCakeshop wrong.

3. First of all, the Constitution does not protect a white supremacist group's access to cake from a gay baker. @IngrahamAngle is clearly gaslighting by comparing a legit ID like sexual orientation to pure racism.

4. Then @IngrahamAngle suggests Phillips' objection was just "two male figures." Maybe she was reading Ben Shapiro's factually wrong article from today, but he refused ANY BAKED GOOD for use in a same-sex wedding. No design was ever even discussed before he refused service.

5. Campbell calls it "a very reasonable line" to refuse to sell a product to a gay customer that you sell to a straight customer.

It's illegal in Colorado, so Campbell must be calling it "reasonable" to break the law by discriminating.

6. Campbell also draws a comparison to DC's nondiscrimination law, falsely claiming that it protects "on the basis of political views."

No, it protects on the basis of political AFFILIATION. It doesn't protect you based on your views, just your PARTY. ohr.dc.gov/protectedtraits

7. Campbell's hypothetical of forcing a "Republican speechwriter to write for Hillary Clinton" is likewise totally disingenuous.

Phillips refused to sell the SAME cakes to same-sex couples. A speechwriter would have to refuse to write the SAME speeches for somebody else.

8. I'd also just like to point out that in a 4:35 segment, @imillhiser got to speak for all of 58 seconds total.
