A Texas candidate and
former teacher said that transgender children make her uncomfortable.
And she's actually furious about the fact that, she and
other children are unable to bully them.
If you don't believe me, check out this video featuring
Shelley Luther who's running for, Texas' House District 62.
>> I don't know any other counties that are more Bible-belt
conservative than this district, and it's the overton window.
They have AOC in Congress on the left, and
what we have done is become comfortable, with what is okay in our society.
I am not comfortable with the transgenders,
the kids that they brought in my classroom.
When they said that this kid is transgendering into a different sex,
that I couldn't have kids laugh at them.
Other kids got in trouble for having transgender kids in my class,
that's why I vote for school choice.
And my opponent is completely against school choice, thank you.
>> Okay, so look, that was insane, I think anyone who has
a reasonable mind and heart knows that that's insane.
Including by the way, the gentleman on the stage as she's making that statement.
I want you to pay attention to his facial expression as she says,
I don't like kids can't make fun of them, can't make fun of them.
No, no no, we gotta watch it again I'm sorry.
>> No, no, no don't be sorry.
>> I know you're chomping at the bit, I know you have some thoughts, but
we gotta watch it again.
This time don't pay attention to her, pay attention to the guy on the stage.
>> I don't know any other counties that are more Bible-belt
conservative than this district, and it's the overton window.
They have AOC in Congress on the left, and what we have done is become comfortable,
with what is okay in our society.
I am not comfortable with the transgenders,
the kids that they brought in my classroom.
When they said that this kid is transgendering into a different sex,
that I couldn't have kids laugh at them.
Other kids got in trouble for having transgender kids in my class,
that's why I vote for school choice.
And my opponent is completely against school choice.
>> That was hilarious- >> That was amazing.
>> Yeah, so now I couldn't even have the other kids laugh at them and
bully them and he goes hey, [LAUGH] that got his attention.
And when I watched that clip the first time, I was did the volume go off?
Because, I think she realized that she'd clowned herself.
>> She stepped in it.
>> Yeah and then she paused for like four brutal seconds, and
then she's no I'm sticking with it.
And the real problem is the transgenders and how we can't mock them, okay?
I mean all the other kids were having fun mocking them and
then they get in trouble for it.
What the hell kind of country do we live in anymore?
Said Shelley Lex Luther.
>> Yeah seriously, no and also I think look,
obviously that statement overall insanely ignorant.
But the ignorance is crystallized in my mind when
she says the phrase, kids are transgendering.
>> Yeah totally, I mean it's a terrible story, but
it was hard not to be amused by the depth of her ignorance, right?
>> Insanely ignorant.
>> Yeah, and then they bring the transgenders in here, and
there's transgendering all over the place, and now we can't even bully them.
I remember the good old days I mean,
we'd do much worse it's the most evangelical district.
The one that is the most religious and hence,
the one that would be the most hateful.
That didn't used to be hence,
people used to I think in the old days follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Where he said be decent to one another and turn the other cheek and help the poor and
the needy.
Now the most evangelical district means, the most hateful district, so sad.
>> Yeah I mean, and also the other thing is I mean I'm old enough to
remember when the Covington's kids.
The right wing media, was just incessantly pointing fingers
at Democrats, for bullying the Covington kids, right?
They were the ones who were in D.C., they were protesting to ban abortions.
Obviously I don't agree with them, but they're high school students.
And so, I just think when you're dealing with kids when you're dealing with minors,
hands off, okay?
But this woman is just, when I was a teacher I was super annoyed that
I didn't get to bully these transgender kids, it's insane.
And by the way like of course we're talking about it's getting a little
bit of attention, but Democrats are just such failures.
I'm just specifically thinking about their campaigning,
they wouldn't exploit this situation.
And when I say exploit, use it to your advantage if you're running for
office, right?
Paint a picture of what Republicans really are, they won't do it.
>> Fight for your voters, >> Yeah.
>> Fight effectively.
I mean look at what happened in Virginia, Terry McAuliffe,
the dumbest most corporate candidate you've ever seen in your life.
Youngkin was massive right winger, and
Youngkin said just because now they wanna teach racism in the school?
Boo, the Democrats are doing a war on parents, the schmock McAuliffe
couldn't just turn around and go no you're doing a war on teachers.
Teachers are supposed to teach math,
and if you say 2 plus 2 equals 6, and we want you to teach that.
You're doing a war on teachers, you're doing a war on math, and
we're not gonna stand for it, we're gonna protect our kids.
No he said he was I don't know, okay,
God Democrats are so useless.
Look, that's a very Republican district, right Democrat, what do you have to lose?
Why don't you run super aggressive in that district?
>> Yeah have some fun.
>> Right well, you know why?
Because the national democrats would take away your money but we no, no,
no we prefer civility.
And the media would pile on and we prefer civility, we prefer civility.
>> Support the Democratic candidate because,
they have a defeatist mindset, right?
Of course, I mean,
there's no way that the National Party would actually support that candidate.
But one thing that I want you to know about this woman, Shelley Luther.
She's also very blunt about banning people from attending Texas
schools just based on their race or their background.
She once said,
Chinese students should be banned from attending all Texas universities.
>> [LAUGH] Come on, and note by the way that in her speech that we
showed you one of her points of emphasis was school choice.
>> It's amazing, yeah amazing.
>> But that's the right wing mind they think no,
I have all the choice, you have none of the choice.
I have all the freedom, you have none of the freedom, no that's not called freedom,
that's called oppression.
And she looks back at those days fondly,
look I remember when Steve O told the story, he used to be on air here.
About when he was growing up in the 1970s and 80s here in America, right?
And he's Asian, he said, every day they would use Asian slurs against them,
the other kids would.
And that's how they would just commonly refer to them, and
it was just devastating to his psyche.
Those are the days that looks back on with nostalgia.
>> Yeah totally.
>> Like when you saw an Asian kid, the only Asian kid in class and
you could just call him that name over and over again.
And everybody would laugh at him and Steve talked about that too.
A girl thought that he was cute, they thought that, and
then they made fun of the girl for liking the ch word, right?
And then the whole class laughed, those are the days she looks forward to.
God, wouldn't it be great if we went back to those days?
And by the way that's not at all hyperbole cuz she's not just talking about
transgenders.
We just read you the quote, lets ban the Chinese from our colleges.
>> She's just a sad, hateful woman, there's really no other way to say it.
I mean I pity her because imagine what a miserable person you have
to be to have that level of hatred in your heart.
>> And let me say one more thing from my perspective,
what sucks is that she's run for office before and she's lost.
She lost her last race by 13 points, because of this clip,
she's more likely to win not less likely to win.
