Missouri Dems Erupt After Human Rights Chair Moonlights as Anti-LGBT Church Lobbyist
Missouri lawmakers have branded the state’s human rights chair a hypocrite for moonlighting as a church lobbyist to testify against a bill that would protect LGBTQ+ members from discrimination—and they want him booted from the job.
On Monday, ten Democrats from the Missouri State Senate submitted a letter to Gov. Mike Parson, calling for Timothy Faber to lose his post with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights.
“We are writing to formally request your removal of Timothy Faber as Chair of the Missouri Commission on Human Rights due to his misleading of State Senators during a legislative hearing, and his lobbying for a position in direct contradiction to the mission of the Missouri Commission on Human Rights,” read the letter, obtained by The Daily Beast.
