So this is completely bonkers (pdf):
Yes, two thirds of Iowa Republican caucus goers believe Beyoncé either is or might be a ‘moral poison.’ For a little context, hero of the Uruk-hai wing of the Republican Party, Mike Huckabee, in his recent book declared Beyoncé to be a moral poison, so I guess the rest are just falling in line.
Maybe they’ll retroactively declare Elvis to be a problem?
Nuts. Just nuts.

To be fair, my mother said that back in the day Elvis WAS considered a moral danger by older folks. Probably mainly stuffy old white men claiming religious superiority.
This is nothing new.
Certainly not. Elvis was white, male and fairly conservative politically.
For a parallel case, see Huckabee playing bass while Ted Nugent sings Cat Scratch Fever.
Hey, don’t make fun of The Kang.
