Republican candidate brags about pulling her daughter out of college for supporting LGBTQ rights

A Republican candidate for U.S. Congress was caught saying that she pulled her daughter out of college for “a year of brainwash” because the daughter supported LGBTQ equality, drawing laughs from the Tea Party crowd.

Michelle Steel is currently on the Orange County Board of Supervisors and she is running for California’s 48th Congressional District. Video of her speaking at a Newport Mesa Tea Party meeting in 2014 was released online this week.
