Sam Clovis is apparently a pet project of Mike Pence to be chief scientist of the USDA (it seems unlikely Donald Trump never heard of him as he watches FOX, not listens to wingnut radio like Pence).

Just the sort of thing we need in the Ag Department:

If we protect LGBT behavior, what other behaviors are we going to protect? Are we going to protect pedophilia? Are we going to protect polyamorous marriage relationships? Are we going to protect people who have fetishes? What’s the logical extension of this?—Sam Clovis

And what the deuce does any of that have to do with Agricultural Science? Oh I know, religion. That’s what’s important, regardless of the purpose of a government agency.

I’m surprised Trump didn’t put Pat Robertson up for FEMA. After all, when I was in Virginia Beach (living as far away from Robertson as I could in the city), he prayed away Hurricane Hugo and gave it as a present to South Carolina. Surely he could pray away Hurricane Harvey.
