Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas
Ian Reisner, the openly homosexual businessman who let Sen. Ted Cruz use his home for a presidential campaign event, has now issued an apology, apparently under duress from his fellow “gay”-community members.
“I am shaken to my bones by the emails, texts, postings and phone calls of the past few days,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “I made a terrible mistake.”
Apparently, members of the “gay” community have called for a boycott of Reisner’s hotel properties.
The New York Times first reported on Cruz’s April 20 dinner event at the duplex Reisner co-owns in Manhattan. Cruz used the venue for a “fireside chat” with about a dozen individuals – but soon after, Reisner and his hotelier partner faced massive criticism from the “gay” community.
“I was ignorant, naive and much too quick in accepting a request to co-host a dinner with Cruz at my home without taking the time to completely understand all of his positions on gay rights,” Reisner said, in his post. “I’ve spent the past 24 hours reviewing videos of Cruz’s statements on gay marriage and I am shocked and angry. I sincerely apologize for hurting the gay community and so many of our friends, family, allies, customers and employees. I will try my best to make up for my poor judgment. Again, I am deeply sorry.”
Reisner said he agreed to the hosting of Cruz because of the senator’s staunch pro-Israel stance.
He apologized right before a protest march kicked off in front of Out NYC, a property he partly owns in the city.
