Keystone State Senators John Fetterman (D) and Bob Casey (D) originally signed on to send one million dollars to William Way Community Center — an LGBTQ+ community space that occasionally hosts BDSM kink parties.
That’s one million taxpayer dollars for kink parties.
Once news of the questionable earmark got out thanks to influential conservative watchdog Libs of TikTok, Fetterman and Casey backpedaled and pulled their request and support.
“BREAKING: The Senate Appropriations Committee released a spending bill which is being voted on tomorrow,” Libs of TikTok posted. “It includes $1M of your tax dollars to go towards renovating an LGBTQ Center in PA which boasts rooms to try BDSM and s*x f*tishes and hosts BDSM and s*x k*nk parties. There’s even a k*nk party happening there this weekend! .@SenBobCasey and @SenFettermanPA are the ones who requested this funding. Absolutely sick that our tax dollars would fund this!”
Letters went out from Fetterman and Casey staffers; they essentially said the same thing.
“After further review, I am writing to withdraw my support and request the removal of the below Fiscal Year 2024 Congressionally Directed Spending project included in the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.”
The funds were originally requested for the following, according to the letter:
“The William Way Renovation and Expansion Project will renovate and expand the existing LGBT Community Center into an inclusive, fully accessible, and welcoming space for all individuals to gather, learn, and find life-giving support.”
“The choice was either to pull it or watch it get stripped out, attacked by Republicans and ultimately killed,” Fetterman said.
Casey spokesperson Mairead Lynn said the Pennsylvania Democrat believes “that consenting adults have the right to do whatever they want in their free time, but these types of appropriations projects warrant the highest level of scrutiny on behalf of taxpayers.”Imagine all the far-left funding requests that don’t get caught.
