A board of education candidate in Texas has made news by saying President Barack Obama is a former homosexual prostitute, but the comment is just one example of many where politicians have used the freedom of speech to make outlandish claims.
Elections for State Boards of Education rarely make the news. But, Mary Lou Bruner, a candidate for the 15-member board that represents a large part of northeast Texas, changed that with a single Facebook post. The statement was just picked up by the media, but in October 2015 the retired teacher took to social media to explain Obama’s support for same sex marriages, claiming:
“Obama has a soft spot for homosexuals because of the years he spent as a male prostitute in his twenties. That is how he paid for his drugs. He has admitted he was addicted to drugs when he was young, and he is sympathetic with homosexuals’ but he hasn’t come out of the closet about his own homosexual/bisexual background. He hasn’t quite evolved that much! Since he supports gay marriage, he should be proud of his background as a homosexual/bisexual. He is against everything else Christians stand for, he might as well be for infidelity.”
A strong contender for @TXSBOE thinks Obama used to be a gay prostitute. My story: https://t.co/T5I2KcWSSk#txed

She never cited any sources for her allegation, but has defended the since-deleted post by saying, “I’m not ashamed of anything that I have ever said,” the San Antonio Current reports. She added, “If I’m on the State Board of Education, I’m going to speak up for the things that I believe because I have a First Amendment right.”
She is not the only politician who has made use of her First Amendment right. Below is a sampling of elected officials who have suffered from foot-in-mouth disease........
