Marjorie Greene is angry because a tweet of hers was hidden,
not taken down mind, just hidden.
She tweeted, Twitter says this tweet violated rules about hateful conduct.
I can't imagine anything more hateful than promoting gender reassignment surgeries
for children, so that gives you a bit of a heads up of what this is gonna be about.
We're gonna show you the tweet but I want to warn you,
even for Marjorie Green this is horrendous.
This is so unacceptably disgusting and
horrible but here's what she tweeted.
She had video of Rachel Levine and
she says we must do everything we can to prevent
Dr Dick Levin's preteen hashtag Weeniechop.
That is so many things at the same time.
It is dead naming an individual there who we've talked about previously pediatrician
four star admiral and currently serving as Biden's Assistant Secretary for health.
So it's a dead naming, it's also just about the worst possible way that you
could talk about gender affirming surgery or
even just if you look at the content of the video.
Just gender affirming acknowledgement, emotional support.
Marjorie Greene jumps to we have to stop the Weeniechop and
she is a representative and what we got was they hit it.
They said it's still in the public interest and
maybe a case could be made understanding who we have an elected office is
important knowing how purposefully intentionally cruel and awful they can be.
Maybe that is in the public interest.
I would say what is more in the public interest is getting her the hell out of
elected office as fast as possible as well as anyone who shares her hateful ideology.
But yes, what do you think?
Yes, you're muted.
You're muted right now, yes, I don't know if you can hear me.
>> I did the JR Jackson thing.
>> You did, that's sort of his thing.
You shouldn't feel that.
>> I'm taking it.
Yeah, what was I even saying?
Yeah, so regarding the transgender community,
there's a lot of opportunity for education around this particular community, right?
Because it's something that a lot of people aren't used to yet and there are so
many teachers and activists out there who are working to do just that.
But members of the GOP like MTG, they're not even trying to understand the lives
of people who are different from them or who are unlike them.
But even if you don't agree with the Biden administration stands on transgender
children and teenagers.
And people who are going through something that not just physically but
psychologically is something that most of us can't even comprehend.
That doesn't mean you get to bully them while they're going
through something, right?
And that doesn't mean that you get to oppose legislation.
That might actually help a very already vulnerable population.
>> Yeah, yeah.
I know I'm being naive, I'm being like, why am I being so
stupid in being surprised by this at all.
But she's a public figure, so so many people follow her.
And I can't imagine if you're a young person, a young trans person, a person
who's thinking about your identity, who's trying to figure things out.
I can't imagine what it would make you feel like to see this sort of thing from
someone who has power, who might in a few months be in the majority,
who might be determining like their legislative future.
I cannot imagine using a position like this for this for this cruelty.
And we can debate whether it's worse if she's doing it because she actually does
hate trans people as much as she would have you believe.
Or if like for many Republicans, like for Ron DeSantis, they're willing to,
literally they don't care how many people die in this community from what they're
saying.
Just so they can have a majority and they can pass some tax cuts or
they can keep businesses from being regulated or whatever.
Those are both disgusting in their own unique ways but
we have to cover a lot of really gross stuff on the show.
But there's something about that tweet man that really stands out to me and we're so
far into this, there's not gonna be censure,
there's nobody even pushing forever her to be kicked out of office.
And even if they did it wouldn't happen,
this is how low we've sunk as a society and as a government.
>> Yeah and it's one thing to not agree with the person's lifestyle.
It's one other thing to not understand what a person is going through with their
feelings, what their emotions are, what their body is telling them.
But it's another thing entirely to go out of your way to demonize these people and
to turn others against them, right?
You're attacking them for the way that they're choosing to lose their
life as if life isn't hard enough for most of us, right?
Life is already difficult.
That's an incredibly difficult layer to add on top of a difficult life, right?
Especially in this country, especially when your rights are being,
you know, threatened by people like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
>> 100%, look, she had more insane thing to say maybe we'll talk about them
on tomorrow's show, we're unfortunately running out of time.
So, why don't we jump ahead to our d block with what we have remaining in this hour.
You wanna give me the heads up when we're okay with that.
Okay, let's see, Esoteric Dragon sent into super chat saying, I live in Texas,
my wife, 30 and I, 31 don't want children.
My wife considered a hysterectomy in five years or so due to scotus decision and
what may come, we've moved the timeline of September, shaking my head.
Yeah, I just actually saw something about this particular clinic that does
sterilizations.
They've had like record numbers of of people coming and saying, I can't continue
to have the capacity in this world, like considering what might happen to me.
