To me, Young is more funny than scary - he'll never get elected here. Because this is the northeast, because Rhode Island is a mostly Democratic state, and because I have faith in the common sense of my fellow Rhode Islanders, Young will never do anything more than make a fool of himself.Young, who has previously run for U.S. Senate and Providence mayor, and has announced his intentions to challenge Sen. Jack Reed this fall, was one of the last people to testify in a House Judiciary Committee hearing that stretched past 11 p.m.
On the subject of same-sex marriage, Young said allowing such unions would “caus[e] the citizens of this state to suffer.”
But it was his comments on the legislators themselves that caused the biggest stir. Young chided committee members for falling asleep, accused them of corruption, of not believing in God and said their need to repay favors drives their legislative decisions.
After Young quoted at length from the Bible, Rep. Raymond J. Sullivan, Jr., D-Coventry, warned him to be careful as such quotations are subject to misinterpretation.
Apparently thinking he’d heard Sullivan say something about Satan, Young asked “You say Satan a lot, don’t you? You like that term, don’t you?”
Christopher Young and Satanic Gays
I didn't know we had types like Chris Young up here in the liberal north. The type who think gay marriage is somehow harmful to everyone and literally thump the Bible.
