Standing by her opinion. Hilarie Burton Morgan doubled down on calling Candace Cameron Bure a “bigot” for her “traditional marriage” comments shortly after a shooting took place at an LGBTQIA+ club in Colorado Springs.
“THIS! This is why we have to speak out against bigotry of any kind — even the ‘aren’t-I-cute-girl-next-door’ bulls–t that I called out last week. The bigotry of @GAfamilyTV is the most dangerous kind,” Burton, 40, tweeted on Sunday, November 20, alongside an article about the hate attack. “It normalizes exclusion under the guise of ‘protecting traditional values.'”
The Virginia native claimed that Cameron Bure’s viewpoint was “the excuse of white women” in the past. “It’s the excuse of white German women in the 1930s. It’s a dog whistle for protecting white supremacy,” she continued. “So when Candy and Bill Abbott and GAF wanna ‘protect traditional values’ against LGBTQ influence? This is what happens. Look no further than the comments their fan base left on.”
Burton also clarified that she wasn’t taking aim at religion with her commentary, adding, “I never said a word about Christianity. Newsflash: I am a lifelong Christian. But the sheer volume of people who felt emboldened to put their bigotry in writing – to live forever on the internet – was all the evidence you need.”
The lengthy social media post concluded: “To the people of Colorado Springs, I am heartbroken and sending you love and fierce support. To my LGBTQ friends? I love you. You are perfect and made in God’s image and you deserve inclusion. To the bigots? Your ‘traditional values’ killed at least five people last night.”
