A few weeks ago, the Right was all up in arms over a story claiming that President Obama was forcing the Marines to switch to “girly” unisex hats. The story was, of course, entirely untrue, but that didn’t stop “Dr. Chaps” Gordon Klingenschmitt for talking about it on his “Pray In Jesus Name” program today in order to assert that it was all part of Obama’s plan to allow transgender soldiers to serve in the military by turning “all of the Marines into an abomination” before God.
“You can’t have men in the United States Marines wearing clothing that’s designed for women,” Klingenschmitt said. “So you know what President Obama’s solution is? To make all the uniforms the same. And this is going to usher in the possibility of transgender, cross-dressing men who want to look like women, they’ll be able to wear a women’s uniform.”
