GOP Chair Calls Transgender Lawmaker “Mr.,” Sparks Fury

 Legal Insurrection

 "In fact, all the transexuals (which they prefer to be called) I’ve befriended on X have all taken the steps to look female. They’ve only come out because of the trans activists. They just want to be left alone, but they felt the need to come out due to all the nonsense, especially since the activists have dragged children into it."

"During a Tuesday hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Chairman Keith Self (R-TX) recognized Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first openly transgender member of Congress, as Mr. McBride.

“  'I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride,” he said.

"McBride immediately shot back. “Thank you Madam Chair.” She then proceeded with her prepared remarks.

"She was interrupted by Ranking Member Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) who turned to Self and asked, “Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again please?”

"Self replied, “We have set the standard on the floor of the House and I’m simply —” Self was referring to a similar incident that occurred last month when Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) recognized McBride as “the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride.”

"In any case, he was abruptly cut off by Keating, who was quickly losing patience. “What is that standard, Mr. Chairman? Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly-elected representative from the United States of America? Please!” . . .
