Richard Grenell, former acting Director of National Intelligence, recently criticized Joe Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate, but not for the reason you might expect.

Grenell's major criticism of Harris? She's heterosexual.


Grenell, who formerly served as ambassador to Germany and acting Director of National Intelligence, currently serves as Special Presidential Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo Peace Negotiations.

He also happens to be gay, and apparently greatly dislikes presidential candidate Joe Biden for a comment he made 43 years ago.

In his tweet, Grenell shared a Fox News article about Biden's comments on gay people from 1973 as evidence that Biden thinks LGBTQ+ folks are security risks today.

Biden's comment from that interview 47 years ago is definitely not a ringing endorsement, but neither is it a vehement condemnation.

"My gut reaction is that [gay people] are security risks but I must admit I haven't given this much thought...I'll be darned!"

While Grenell seems to think he made a good dig at Biden and Harris, most of Twitter seemed to disagree.



Some reminded Grenell that he, by far, doesn't speak for the whole LTBTQ+ community.



Despite Grenell's assertion, Biden picking a straight woman as his running mate doesn't magically change his platform on LGBTQ+ rights.

Meta Is Shutting Down Its VR 'Metaverse' After Spending An Obscene Amount Of Money Building It—And People Are Roasting Mark Zuckerberg Hard

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was roasted online after Meta announced they'll be shutting down Horizon Worlds, part of their virtual reality "Metaverse," this summer after spending close to $80 billion on the project.

The news comes five years after Zuckerberg declared the metaverse to be the future of Facebook, even renaming the company Meta to reflect that vision. In recent months, Meta cut roughly 10% of the workforce in its "metaverse" division and signaled a shift away from virtual reality for its flagship platform, Horizon Worlds, where users interact through avatars.
