Graphic caption image: "Who is Huntington Beach's new council member, Chad Williams? - During a February campaign event, Chad called the LGBTQ+ community an "abomination." When asked at a later date to defend his words, he said "I stand by everything I said there. Spread it around." - Chad also called his political opponents a "deranged cabal," saying "God will judge you." - Chad has a history of islamophobia. While talking about the Paris terror attacks on Fox News, he said of the attacks, "It shows, really, that this is the face of Islam that we need to be aware of. We shouldn't be so optimistic about Islam in America. Islam is, by definition, uh, from Arabic to English, it is submission. These guys are bent on submission." #prideatthepier
