House hearing abruptly ends after GOP lawmaker misgenders Sarah McBride
A House subcommittee hearing abruptly ended after a Republican lawmaker was confronted over misgendering Rep. Sarah McBride.
You're viewing a single thread.
In response, McBride said, “Thank you, Madam Chair,” before beginning her remarks. She was soon cut off by the subcommittee’s ranking member Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., who asked Self to repeat his introduction. He then called McBride “mister” again.
“Mr. Chairman, you are out of order,” Keating shot back. “Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I’ve come to know you a little bit. But this is not decent.”
Though Self said it was time to continue the hearing, Keating replied, “You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then adjourned the hearing.
Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,” referring to President Donald Trump executive order in January.
McBride later wrote on X that “No matter how I'm treated by some colleagues, nothing diminishes my awe and gratitude at getting to represent Delaware in Congress.”
Fascists fashing in addition to being contemptible fuckwits.
Why are ANY Democrats on Xitter?!
DNC, get your idiot consultants gone already.
Bit of a catch-22 when you're a public official. It would make sense for them to just use cross-posting client to cover their bases, but I doubt they know that.
but I doubt they know that.
That’s exactly the point. They’re following a playbook from the 90s at best.
Why wouldn't they be? It's kinda stupid to just let your enemy run a massive platform without having a presence there.
You know if these people think the president has the ability to just declare laws then why don't they just resign? What's the purpose of a congressman? If he's just surrendered all the rights and privileges of his office then why does he need to fill his office? Just seems like he's a burden on the taxpayers at this point. Seems like that's an inefficiency that could be cut Musk.
Ha, nice, Keating is my Rep.
dude- fuck that guy with an 8 foot poll. This just makes my blood boil. The fact someone can just get away with being a fucking asshole IN BROAD DAYLIGHT? Bro. Imagine the shit he says behind closed doors.
