One More On All Those Racist Libertarians Supporting Christian Bakers

As alluded to in my last post, Benny Lava (and he is hardly unique in this) kept suspecting that anybody who sided with the right of Christian bakers to not participate in gay weddings is probably a closet racist. I hope Benny never sees clips like this; his entire worldview would collapse.
