Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

Who was it that said something to the effect. Convince the white man that he's better than the black man, it'll be easier to pick their pockets. He used the word negro instead of black man. I can't remember who it was that made that statement back in the 60s

She's spot on. GOP "Hey look over there!", as they're raiding agencies that work for and support the American people, and giving all of our tax dollars to the richest of the rich.

We need to hear her say "fuck this noise" first. It's possible to both say "I'm going to the head, so send the Seargent at Arms" AND that Mace et al are deflecting attention to bullshit from real shit.

What did the voters expect republicans in the House to do? They fought with each other, held sham hearings, waged culture wars and did pass one piece of legislation. Our government has been hijacked by corporate interests and religious zealots

I blocked a few of them. They are the garbage on X that made that site toxic. They pretend to be offering a different perspective but spew hate and misinformation. I have been on a blocking spree myself.

Exactly. They don't give one flying crap about trans people and what bathroom they use. They started all this pointless BS about Capitol bathrooms right after the public saw Trump was appointing literal pedophiles, sexual offenders, Russian assets, and con artists to his Cabinet.

I love this woman. I know trans people are scared & rightfully so, but she is smashing the narrative the extreme right paints about trans folks when they position them as creepy, mentally ill & maladjusted people grooming children. McBride is going to do so much to normalize & humanize trans women.

While centrist Democrats play footsie with the Neo Nazi Republican Party over economic issues, they'll be rounding up trans Americans for forceable detransitions and internment in reeducation camps.

She sounds so stable and intelligent unlike Mace who just sounds stupid, bigoted and mentally unwell. Yes, it is a distraction but also a tool to fundraise and keep the sheeple enraged.

It's always been about power, control, and money The more of us who realize & speak this truth, the more power we have, the less control over us they have, and their money obtained through oppression will be returned to those they stole it from

They're just trying to soften the blow. Squeezing to say if a Black people are welcome to be one place or another. Or saying Trump is right covid is a Chinese virus. Not a China virus. They're just trying to heighten their racism and prejudicy. Remember, Chinese should not buy land in Florida.

This may be a controversial take, but Sarah is setting a bad precedent. You can’t cede ground to these cretins. They will keep pushing. You have to keep fighting for your rights. It is now normalized in the highest legislative body in the land. How long before they pass a national law?

Look at all the attention she is now receiving b/c of the vilification by the GOPs aka MAGAs! YAY! The trans population is like 0.1-2% of the general population and talking points suggest that they are this HUGE LOOMING threat! It's a nothing burger and a distraction.

Trans is just their latest boogeyman. Saw a canvasser for Harris on here say they talked to some maga idiot in MI who actually believed kids were getting sex change surgery at school. I don't think we can win against that kind of stupidity.

Yes, fantastic energy and truth. Listen to Sarah McBride speak. I can see why they were voted in as Congress. Keep the fight and go after the Trump party. Distraction is Trump's main key advantage which is why he won the re-election as President. We were too focussed on other things.

The more they have her on TV, the more people are going to be like “What’s the big deal about trans people? She’s just talking about healthcare and stuff I need.” She’s just going to help normalize trans people as she’s on TV all the time. Trans people just haven’t been given that platform.

You can’t depend on the American populace to respond to calls of empathy/ tolerance/equality @this point It’s terrible that US rights have been reduced to only a dim how much does this egg cost calculation but here we are McBride’s pitch to the public that Rs are costing you$ is a great strategy

It’s so cool libs can just rationalize our rights being violated as a “distraction.” It must be nice for y’all privileged assholes to be able to ignore systemic genocide. #FuckLiberals #FuckConservatives

When you realize that Trans people are 1% of the US population but Republicans spend 70% of their time and resources attacking them? It’s proof it’s not about Trans people at all. It’s about targeting a group for hate while you rob and pillage popular programs.

Anybody else confused why they are giving Congresswoman-elect McBride so much attention besides their hate for the trans community? Eventually McBride is going to kick ass on other topics and MOST people will forget all about the trans story and realize she is a bad ass

If it's so easy for Repugnantans to tell who is or is not trans, then they're claiming they can decide from these images who uses the ladies' room or not. #ladiesroomornot

Natural looking? What is natural about this dude that wears a pound of makeup and a dress and is pretending to be a woman? He has a penis and he will never be a woman. He is fake to the core.

This is the latest incarnation of the Southern Strategy. We must support our trans neighbors, but we also cannot let the GOP use this as a distraction for their sleight of hand. I don't know what the solution to this dilemma is, but I am reminded of this quote...

still wondering where all the women’s restrooms where women users undress in front of the other women users using the bathroom are. 73 years old and have heard of something like that maybe twice, and it was a person with severe mental/emotional issues or one on heavy drugs. never once heard ‘trans’

The most responsible for family separation treating humans like sheep or cattle move them back and forth not caring about them but on Sundays there in mass praying to a god that has them on the list to hell

Anyone else remember the tried and true 'We need an amendment making burning the flag illegal'. Every election this trope was dragged out to inflame the R base. Different day/different distraction.
