The Hallmark Channel backtracks: Same-sex marriage ads to return. (Christian Science Monitor)

Reason prevails over the modern equivalent of the "Know Nothing" Political Party of the 1850s, which Lincoln skewered in his 1855 letter to Joshua Speed.

Does the astroturf hate group that threatened Hallmark rather resemble the extremist, pro-slavery, anti-immigration, racist "Know Nothing" political party of the 1850s?  Our future President Abraham Lincoln wrote his friend Joshua Speed in 1855:  "I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].'

The Hallmark Channel backtracks: Same-sex marriage ads to return

After pulling a same-sex marriage ad, the Hallmark Channel said Sunday it will reinstate the commercials. "We celebrate all families," said a spokeswoman.

A scene from a same-sex marriage ad sponsored by Zola, a wedding site. The Hallmark Channel says it will reinstate the commercials it had pulled from the network.

December 15, 2019

• By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

NEW YORK

The Hallmark Channel, reversing what it called a "wrong decision," said Sunday it will reinstate same-sex marriage commercials that it had pulled following a complaint from a conservative group.

The earlier decision by Crown Media, Hallmark's parent company, to pull several ads for the wedding planning site Zola featuring two brides kissing at the altar had caused a storm of protest on social media. Celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and William Shatner criticized the move and the hashtag #BoycottHallmark was trending on Twitter at one point.

"The Crown Media team has been agonizing over this decision as we've seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused," said a statement issued Sunday evening by Hallmark Cards CEO Mike Perry. "Said simply, they believe this was the wrong decision. ... We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused."

Zola, the wedding planning site that made the ads, said it was relieved that the decision to pull them had been reversed. In an email to The Associated Press, the company said it would be in touch with Hallmark "regarding a potential return to advertising."
"We are humbled by everyone who showed support not only for Zola, but for all LGBTQ couples families who express their love on their wedding day, and every day," said a statement Sunday evening from the company's chief marketing officer, Mike Chi.

The LGBT advocacy group GLAAD also expressed relief at the reversal. Its president, Sarah Kate Ellis, said Hallmark's "decision to correct its mistake sends an important message to LGBTQ people and represents a major loss for fringe organizations like One Million Moms, whose sole purpose is to hurt families like mine."

It was a complaint by One Million Moms, part of the American Family Association, that had led to the initial decision to pull the the Zola ads. A post on the group's website Saturday said that Crown Media CEO Bill Abbott "reported the advertisement aired in error."

The group also wrote: "The call to our office gave us the opportunity to confirm the Hallmark Channel will continue to be a safe and family-friendly network."

Zola had submitted six ads, with four including a lesbian couple. After Hallmark pulled those ads, but not two featuring only opposite-sex couples, Zola pulled its remaining ads.

Molly Biwer, senior vice president for public affairs at Hallmark, said in an interview Sunday night that from the time the initial decision had been made, "Crown Media had been in agony over the hurt that this had caused. Hallmark has an unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion."

She added that the reversal, and not the original decision, "truly reflects who we are as a company. We celebrate all families."
Hallmark's statement said the network will be "working with GLAAD to better represent the LGBTQ community" and would be reaching out to Zola to reestablish its partnership.

"Across our brand, we will continue to look for ways to be more inclusive and celebrate our differences," Perry said.

In one of the pulled ads, two brides stand at the altar and wonder aloud whether their wedding would be going more smoothly if they had used a planning site like Zola. The lighthearted ad ends with the just-married couple sharing a quick kiss.

DeGeneres had quickly assailed the original decision, asking on Twitter: "Isn't it almost 2020?" Actress Sandra Bernhard, who played one of the first openly bisexual characters on network TV in "Roseanne," had also criticized the move.  "All the groovy gay ladies i know won't be watching your Christmas schlock," she wrote on Twitter, addressing Hallmark.

The Hallmark decision was also mocked on "Saturday Night Live," and Netflix US tweeted stills from a TV show and movie that it labeled "Titles Featuring Lesbians Joyfully Existing And Also It's Christmas Can We Just Let People Love Who They Love."

DEFYING OATH, ETHICS, A TRUMP LOBBYIST, PAMELA JO BONDI WANTS TO WORK "HAND IN HAND" WITH SENATE REPUBLICANS

A tawdryTRUMP anti-impeachment lobbyist, former Florida Attorney General PAMELA JO BONDI, seeks to seduce U.S. Senators into violating their solemn oaths to do justice in an impressment case.

To Senators MARCO ANTONIO RUBIO and RICHARD LYNN SCOTT: Just say no.

Your oath means what it says: mean it when you take it.

Don't fix this case.


Let a smile be your umbrella.

White House Adviser: We Should Work ‘Hand-In-Hand’ With Senate GOP On Impeachment

Pam Bondi shrugged off concerns that Senate Republicans are defying their oaths of impartiality by saying they’ll clear Trump ahead of a potential impeachment trial.

.

Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general who recently joined President Donald Trump’s messaging team on impeachment, says she sees nothing wrong with the White House working “hand-in-hand” with the lawmakers deciding whether the president should be removed from office.

Bondi, during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” said she agrees with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his statement Thursday that he will act in “total coordination with the White House counsel” should the House vote to impeach the president.

“Before an impeachment trial, all senators have to raise their right hand and take an oath to do impartial justice,” host Chris Wallace said. “How impartial can it be when McConnell says that he ‘is taking his cues’ from the White House?”

Bondi, attempting to steer the conversation in another direction, began attacking House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) over his handling of the impeachment inquiry.

“But wait,” Wallace interrupted. “I’m asking you about McConnell saying he’s taking his cues from the White House. Please answer the question.”

Bondi responded that Trump’s advisers “wouldn’t be doing our jobs” if they didn’t work directly with Senate Republicans on impeachment.

“We weren’t given a fair trial in the House at all,” she said. “Now it goes to the Senate. And these senators ― the president deserves to be heard. We should be working hand-in-hand with them. These are the senators who will decide if our president is impeached, which will not happen.”

Members of the House ― not senators, as Bondi said ― decide whether to impeach a president, and the trial part of the impeachment process occurs in the Senate. If the full House votes to impeach Trump this week, a trial that will assess whether to remove him from office will begin in the Senate.

“These are some of the weakest charges out there, Chris,” Bondi said of the two articles of impeachment ― abuse of power and obstruction of Congress ― drafted against Trump by the House Judiciary Committee last week. “We’re not going to let it continue in the U.S. Senate.”

McConnell on Thursday told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he’s certain Trump will remain in office.

“There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position as to how to handle this, to the extent that we can,” McConnell said. “There’s no chance the president’s going to be removed from office.”

His comments sparked outrage from Democrats and legal scholars who say Republicans like McConnell and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are betraying their oath to hold the president accountable and remain impartial throughout a possible Senate trial.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) tore into McConnell during an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” calling his actions a “complete subversion” of the Constitution.

“Here you have the majority leader of the Senate, in effect, the foreman of the jury, saying they’re going to work hand and glove with the defense attorney,” Nadler said. “Now, that’s a violation of the oath they’re about to take, and it’s a complete subversion of the constitutional scheme.”

This story has been updated to include Nadler’s comments.
