That said, it is not a comment that anyone on the campaign trail should be making, especially one who just a couple days ago was asking for a cabinet position. Maybe Smith smacked him around for even asking...
I definitely think that it is unfair to imply that all WRP candidates are homophobic or bigots (he doesn't say that of course, but it does seem to be implied to a degree.) I think that it was a bad decision to tweet that.

However, there is no question that several WRP (and, to be fair, at least one PC) candidates are homophobic. And at least one WRP candidate has made offensive racial remarks. It does not reflect well on the party.
