Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., the first openly transgender person elected to serve in Congress, on Sunday called House Republicans’ moves to ban her from using women’s bathrooms in the Capitol “mean-spirited” and an “attempt to misdirect” from other policy priorities.
Every single time, 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,” McBride added.
I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families.’ And we agree with her.”And on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused House Republicans of “bullying” McBride.
“This incoming small House Republican Conference majority is beginning to transition to the new Congress by bullying a member of Congress,” Jeffries told reporters.
