Montel Williams Doubles Down on Duggar Rant: What He Does Is ‘Rhetorical Terrorism’
After Josh Duggar publicly admitted he molested multiple young girls when he was a teenager, ex-talk show host Montel Williams unleashed his fury upon Duggar for his unbelievable hypocrisy. Here’s part of what he said, as a reminder:
BREAKING: Josh Duggar, a world class bigot, admits sexually abusing young girls – has consistently stated that LGBT folks r danger to kids

Sorry, Josh Duggar is a bigot, slimebag. Whole family is, and FRC is a scam. Yup, Gay people are the danger to kids? NOPE, JOSH DUGGAR IS

The entire purpose of my rant about Josh Duggar is to illustrate a simple truth: Everything we judge we walk through. pic.twitter.com/da7cZ2SXI2

Williams got some social media pushback, and so he responded tonight with a lengthy post on Facebook. He wrote that people like Duggar say horrible, hateful things about gay people that leads to an epidemic of LGBT suicides, and said the “rabid anti-LGBT movement” is basically spews “rhetorical terrorism.”
And there was this note to people accusing him of being anti-Christian:
And to those who claim I hate Christians, how dare you? I am one. I am a Christian who lives by that most simple commandment – I am to love others as myself. I am a father who wants his kids to look back 30 years from now when being anti-gay is as frowned upon as being anti black and say “dad got that one right – he passed the test of tolerance.”
He even engaged a bit on Twitter too:
