Watch: Gay Couple Supporting Trump Under Fire

Friday October 21, 2016

Last week, The Wall Street Journal report Jason Bellini interviewed a gay couple who attended a Donald Trump rally in Ohio earlier this month. In their interview with Bellini, the men explained why they support the GOP presidential nominee.

After Bellini posted the video to social media, the clip went viral, earning 200,000 views and hundreds of comments.

Bellini posted a followup video this week where the couple, Dewey Lainhart, 31, and Cody Moore, 23, react to the attention they've gotten since their original interview took off online.

The men say they've been hit with violent threats and that the LGBT community has turned on them.

"Moore and Lainhart were ridiculed by commenters as 'uneducated,' 'rednecks,' 'traitors to the gay community' and even compared to 'Jews who support Hitler,'" Bellini says in the new clip.

Then men reportedly told Bellini they don't regret doing the interview but the unwanted attention has "put a damper on their recent engagement."

The couple also said they've gotten death threats and told they shouldn't leave their house or go to any gay clubs.

"It doesn't concern me. I look over my back, and I do carry [a gun]...because I love the 2nd Amendment," Lainhart reportedly said.
