And none have done anything untoward to young girls and women, unlike the constant news stream of avowed Christian Republicans who DO sexually harm young girls and boys. One was just arrested in Florida this week, predating a fucking 4 year old over more than a year!!!!!! But do go on, Darlene 🙄

And we have no media to confront this lunacy . It’s state run for the most part ‼️ I never thought this fascism could happen in the US. Thanks Tea party , thanks Fox, thanks magat , thanks Russian assets like current prez and his wife and Kushner family . Thanks Epstein. MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN !

Someone ask if she can name a man in women’s sports. How about a single sport. If she wants to be honest, she can admit she’s unqualified to be a US senator. Try being on the city council first.

That would be a trans woman in the bathroom. Trans men transition to men, trans women transition to women. Chastity Bono used to be a girl now he's a boy. And I can't remember his name. You should probably look this up

Can she give a single example of a trans woman playing is a girls sports event in her state? But there are many many white girls being sexually abused by straight men in her state. She does not mention that. She doesn't know about Taiwan or US foreign policy but wants to be the senator....why? How?

It’s only because they’re obsessed with sex, period! So many cheating husbands under one roof! The real take-away from this is that Republicans individually have one big concern, themselves!

Typical Trumplican rhetoric. She’s incapable of doing this important job. But then again Lady Lindsey wasn’t either. But he followed MangoMan’s lead.

She could have just stayed home and mourned her brother. Instead, she was handed a golden opportunity to display her bigotry and her ignorance and she grabbed the wheel with both hands.

In the NCAA, there are fewer than ten transgender college athletes among 510,000 total athletes. But hey, if you need a cause, why don't the Repulicans go after pigs that can fly.

I can't wait to see if the people of So. Carolina fall for this empty vessel. Knowing how stupid our country has become, I think I already know the answer. Smh.

"The modern middle class cares much more about meaningless, scarce bogeyman wedge issues than boring, wonky socioeconomic policy factors that will impact their day to day lives for decades." I'm being sarcastic, unfortunately this has proven to indeed be true, at least for non college educated.

Less than 1% of the population of the US population are trans . How about ending the war in Ukraine in ONE DAY? The price of eggs ? Gas? He alone can fix it ? Loser ! Big fat con artist traitor pedophile loser .

I know that was a casual estimate, but the number is more like two or three in a hundred. The number that compete in sports is waaaaay lower and not reasonable to estimate. Trans/nonbinary kids make up a more significant portion of their cohort than people think.

She thinks that there are 50 million people in South Carolina. So the odds are that there are probably a lot of men in women sports, in her mind. But, South Carolina is know for education

North Carolina did a survey a few years ago and found six, iirc, trans girls who played girls sports. Out of more than 500 high sxhools. And of course some of these were surely in non contact sports like swimming

The savviest thing that 1 in 10,000 trans kid could do is opt out of competitive sports. A strategic retreat that would open up enough room for the larger trans community to live safely & perhaps save democracy . Is it a sacrifice? Yes. But it wouldn’t be in vain.

1. It's not about sports. It's never been about sports. It's about rejecting gender identity. That will solve nothing and actually will weaken our position. 2. Would you say the same of any other minority, or would that be bigoted AF? 3. Liars lie. They'll invent problems if necessary.

Christ, she's even worse than he was. Imagine your only concern being whether trans women are taking part in sport, even if you've never even met a trans woman. Not endless wars, lack of healthcare, inflation, or masked thugs roaming the streets killing innocent people.

Oh, those Republicans in Congress, they tuned out their own supporters a long time ago. But hey, here’s hoping they decide to take a cozy nap at home on election day this November. 😅 bsky.app/profile/just...

2/3: …with all the lies, twists and turns, Trump is not even aware that he’s turning his dear MAGA base “WOKE”…

The focus must remain on inconsequential bullsh*t or they lose. I can’t believe the population has been so thoroughly ruined by Fox News. Yeah, we have left wing news too, but only the right flat out tells lies. They don’t report the news, they create news by lying all day everyday, and if Trump’s..

OMG... listening to former military generals a fewcdays ago & the States have left Taiwan unprotected & perfect timing for China to take action to take back Taiwan. SMDH!! Referencing battleships.

So the people in SC are only worried about sports. With everything going on in this messed up country, the people in SC are a good example of “ ignorance is bliss”. 

Nothing good comes out of South Carolina. Nullification, J. C. Calhoun, secession, Strom Thurmond, Lindsey Graham and that big church shooting a few years ago. Sherman's soldiers had good reason to burn the state capital to the ground in the Civil War. The political culture is retrograde.

The USC women's basketball team is probably the most successful sports team in the state, maybe in history, but I suspect their fan base doesn't contain a high percentage of MAGA. There are no men or trans on the team, of course.

Really? People give a shit about trans people more than National security? I don't even understand why a Senator would even waste their precious time on a few trans people who might, someday, want to be on a woman's sports team? That's stupid.

And don’t give me any of that “you don’t have any skin in the game” shit. I have a daughter. One child. A daughter. She’s 13. I’m the perfect demographic to get all rankled over this issue, supposedly, but I’m not. And I don’t care. It’s just not really a thing, nor will it ever be.

Imagine if one day your child were to be killed in a school shooting? Imagine how traumatized you would be! You know, something that actually happens daily in the US bs something that doesn’t. But, yes keep making up crap to not face reality

Lady Lindsey’s sister mentioned boys in girls restrooms and even remembered to wear a cross. She’s definitely ready for the US Senate despite her clear lack of knowledge in world affairs.

Actually she mentioned boys in girls sports, but she’ll eventually get to the fake issue of boys in girls restrooms. Give her time to find some pearls to clutch.

Uh, whut? So I’m guessing the people in her state don’t give a shit that basically most important chips that power their computers, phones, TVs and consumer electronics are made in Taiwan, and if China invades Taiwan then her state is absolutely skullf***ed? I guess not.

Making the answer even worse. "I still don't know anything about national security but every time you ask about it or all the 'everythings' I know nothing about I'm going to 'weave' to transgenders & the danger they pose to no one because my brother was gay & really envied their courage."

That's absolute bullshit! You don't deserve the job, you're not up to the job and using trans men and women in sports as a division tells me everything I need to know about you. You are not worthy, neither was your brother. Fade Into the background where you belong.

such a blessing… South Carolina has had two senators who combined for over 70 years while obtaining chair positions on significant committees… no longer does the Nation have to accept what is best for South Carolina is the good for the rest of us… what a bunch of slave trading pirates

I see she brought out the cross to appeal to all those rural religious fanatics in South Carolina. And she's already pivoting from being concerned about so-called pocketbook issues (which the GOP is causing & has no solution for) to one of MAGA's tried-and-true culture war issues: transphobia!

Well, not exactly false. Just vacuous. MAGA in SC says that’s just the way we like our women—child bearing/rearing vessels. Interesting to see how much support Annie Andrews has in November. I would bet that strong smart women scare the shit out of these peckerwoods.

The worst of them always make sure they have a huge cross around their necks. The sign of the cross is turning into the sign of Satan with these people. They’ve stolen the flag and the cross - and perverted them beyond recognition.

Translation: "I'm a pisspoor Senator appointed on the basis of nepotism rather than any ability to do the job. So I'll blow this transphobic dog whistle just as hard as I can".

There are 10 trans athletes in college level athletes. Probably zero in SC. But that’s what the GOP in SC worries about? That is what Darline Nordone née Graham thinks will distract GOP voters from the debate loss? Not gas prices. Grocery costs. Military readiness. Broken promises. Trans?

P1. Our friend, Taiwan, is threatened with absorption by a communist dictatorship. P2. More of my constituents care about a made-up right-wing bullshit "threat" to their sexuality. C. I will only address the "threat" which my constituents care about, which proves I am *not* a politician!

How wrong can she be? THERE ARE NO "BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS"! NO MEN IN WOMENS SPORTS! It's a non existent issue,created by small minded,bigoted prudes,ignorant of life & biological facts & totally devoid of empathy & compassion.Fuck her & all like her.Get an education! Get a life!

It’s girls in the Boy Scouts. She’s a culture war gender dyslexic dumbass. Yes, the Girl Scouts of America are less progressive than the Boy Scouts of America. They are literally a terf organization stressing a single gender identity environment of empowerment. Trans-exclusionary radical feminism.

For a minute I thought she was going to say “the people really care about the cost of fuel, groceries and housing.” But no, what the people really care about is _ boys in girls sports? Really? She could have had an easy win. 🤷

The U.S. once implemented eugenic policies that disproportionately affected the poor, disabled, mentally ill, and people of color. Perhaps the system deemed them “unworthy” of support. I’m not sure how much has truly changed today.

Yeah, she got it in a nutshell. A possible cause of World War III can't possibly interest South Carolinians who obsess all day about whether a boy or two can play girls' sports. She's insisting her voters are dumber than a bag of nails. Classic GOP strategy.

South Carolinians do have their head up their ass. I live in Columbia, SC and all of my idiot neighbors voted for trump. I don't speak to any of them. They are hopelessly racist.

She can't be for real! How can she have lived in her state for so long and be that out of touch? I'm absolutely certain that her state citizens are most concerned about affordability and health care...just like everyone else! Such a softball que8to totally tank - twice 🙄

South Carolina already has a law banning anyone born with male parts from participating in women’s sports, so this sounds like a « playing to the base » statement.
