Sorry to hear you got so heavily trolled, Mike, but your essay on Justin Wells just put a spotlight on a person who's sold out his own community to 'make it' at Fox. Wells must have been there when I heard Carlson expound on the Calif wildfires a few years back...First he commented on the 'diversity hiring' at PG&E, which supposedly brought in many LGBTQ folks, and then blamed their lack of competence for the wildfires. It was astounding to listen to him build his case, and prey on the listeners who'd believe such trashy bigotry.

No matter who's behind the scenes of Carlson's shows, they're just sitting on the human trash heap who continues to spew out hate-broadcasting every day.

Keep going, keep telling the truth, Michelangelo! Let's all get Tucker booted for stochastic terrorism. He is the worst offender anywhere, and knowing that a gay man makes it all possible, makes me ill.

Justin is a Quisling Gay, a Vichy Gay: reaping all the rewards of our hard work, while opposing it every step of the way and getting rich in the process.

He and Tucker Carlson are terrorists. Get them.

Give 'em hell, Michael! I am glad you are out there, exposing people like Justin Wells to the light of day. They are dangerous in the extreme.

Mike I feel like you’re part of the French Resistance in WWII. Brave. Truthful. Won’t let Nazis win. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

Terrific reporting. The truth is the most dangerous thing to say to anyone. Keep up the good fight.

People like Grenell and Wells are what I refer to as "Friends of Santorum". Whenever Santorum talked about gay people, he would preface his hate speech with "I have nothing against gay people, I have friends that are gay, but..." and then he would spew his venomous hate. Those "friends" are people like Grenell and Wells - power hungry, self-loathing queers. Being friendly with homophobes gives people like Carlson a warped approval to hate gays.

Thank you for exposing the evil wizard, Justin Wells, behind Tucker Carlson’s screen of hate mongering and anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda. Except in this case there is no hot air balloon ride back to Kansas … there’s just a lot of hot air from Wells and his homophobic supporters. They’re all running scared, or they wouldn’t be reacting so vehemently to your well-researched and well-documented piece exposing Justin Wells for the Judas to the LGBTQ+ community that he is. Thank you, again, Mr. Signorile, for exposing this dangerous man who is profiting from demonizing the LGBTQ+ community and is actively instigating hate crimes against our community, in his role as executive producer of Tucker Carlson’s show, all just to make a fast buck, even though he himself is gay. Please keep up your excellent work as an investigative journalist ( vs. Justin Wells, whose role in journalism amounts to nothing more than being a self l-promoting tabloid style hack, who profits off of the hate he produces in Tucker Carlson’s propaganda based show ).

They are running cowards...I sent Wells an email to the address he has on his own website....of course, the email was returned...as not an active email . We must continue to fight back at the distorted and non-factual rhetoric that Tucker and his elk spew out.....esp. we need to blow back at the likes of Grenell , Thiel and Wells and their "sponsoring "of hate & violence.

Good Afternoon Michelangelo, Really enjoyed your program yesterday in conjunction with your newsletter today... I must say I was drinking coffee during your show and suddenly you made the comment about the “Batman Signal” to the maga crowd.. well I laughed so hard my coffee just about came through my nose. A very serious subject but really enjoy your humor, thanks for a laugh.

Justin Wells is clearly a self-loathing homosexual of the sold school. He lives his life as a gay man but deep down he "knows" that is wrong and so he self-flagellates himself by supporting those who hate what he is and what he does.

Don't need much defense when the offense does the damage. You scored all the points and the substitute's had nothing to counter your truth with. Hope your audience realizes how thankful we are for you. I hear strains of KC and the Sunshine Band's "Keep it coming Love"...

I am thankful & grateful for what you are doing. Thank you. You are calling Truth to Power. In as much as exposing Justin Wells mendacious and sickening behavior. All your points underscore what you highlight. Some people will stop at nothing in their pursuit of power All fueled by greed and hate. Regardless at the cost & expense to those being targeted. I hope this exposure results in a process of accountability for Justin and all propaganda campaigns that target those that don’t have a voice. FOX Noise, teller, 4 Chan et al. All need to be reigned in. In an ideal world I would hope that bar, club and restaurant owners in NYC post his photo and decide whether or not they want an architect of hate & bigotry to be welcomed into their businesses. What a zero compass, amoral entity. The Leni Riefenstahl of the lgbtq community 2017 to date.

Thank you Michael, for making it more widely known that Tucker's brain is a gay bastard. Roy Cohn, GOP Consultant Arthur Finkelstein, CPAC co-founder Terry Dolan, Fox News Host Tammy Bruce...sadly, many LGBT people have worked or work in organizations that seek to do their own people harm, besides Justin Wells. It's seems bizarre, but these folks will continue to exist, and it is vital to call out them out on their self-serving, hateful hypocrisy.
