Rep. Denver Riggleman of Virginia, a freshman congressman, lost his primary in a state convention to Bob Good, an official at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University. Mr. Good describes himself as “biblical conservative,” although I would describe him as a bigot and a total jerk.
What happened is that Mr. Riggleman, who is so far to the right that Trump endorsed him, officiated at a wedding of two of his former campaign volunteers, who happened to be gay guys. That was too much for Republican troglodytes, and they selected Bob Good.
Democrats in the district see this as a great opportunity to pick up another seat. Virginians generally look on bigots with disfavor.
