Outgoing Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii blasted her own party Monday night during an appearance with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson over new rules that disallow use of gender-specific terms in legislation.
Carlson asked her how removing gendered language supposedly empowers women, and she responded, “It absolutely does the very opposite of that and it’s the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be the champions of rights for women to deny the very biological existence of women and this recent rule change that the House just actually voted and passed on today that you were talking about removing references to you know mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, from congressional rules and administration, it’s mind-blowing because it shows just how out of touch with reality and the struggles of everyday Americans people in Congress are.”
“But also, it shows that you know their first act as this new congress could have been to make sure that elderly Americans are able to get the COVID vaccine now alongside frontline healthcare workers, elderly Americans who have the highest mortality rates from this virus, but instead of doing something that could actually help save people’s lives, they’re choosing instead to say well you can’t say mother or father in any of this congressional language,” she continued. “It’s astounding.”
“It’s the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be the champions of rights for women to deny the very biological existence of women,” Gabbard said.
“The insane left’s effort to undermine science by erasing gender amounts to “denying my existence, denying the existence of biological women,” Gabbard noted further.
“It defies common sense; it defies basic established science. It just doesn’t make any sense,” she explained.
Gabbard co-sponsored legislation GOP Rep. Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter, called “Protect Women’s Sports Act” which would ban any school or college receiving federal funding from allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports — something sane people never believed would be necessary.
But will Nancy Pelosi allow the bill to come to the floor for a vote? We think we know the answer to that.
