OPINION:
A couple of Democrats who previously supported the right of boys to pretend to be girls and play in female sports are now suddenly singing a different tune, reversing course and claiming boys shouldn’t be allowed to pretend to be girls after all.
This is what comes of Donald Trump’s reelection — and of a sweeping takeover of Republicans in American politics. Democrats suddenly see the light. They’re forced to confront the realities of their lunacy and evil because it’s touched them personally; it’s threatened their power.
“The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,” said Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from New York, in an interview with The New York Times. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports. Democrats aren’t saying that, and they should be.”
That’s not what he’s been saying for the past few years, though.
As The Hill noted: “During his first stint in Congress, Suozzi backed legislation supportive of transgender rights, including the Equality Act, which would make gender identity and sexual orientation federally protected classes.”
Another Democrat, Rep. Seth Moulton from Massachusetts, underwent a similarly dramatic change in LGBTQ principle post-election.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said to The Times.
Then get this: Moulton added — “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
Who does Moulton represent — the Democrat Party, or the people who do the actual electing and paying of public servant salaries?
Right. That’s the problem with politics nowadays; the politicians far too frequently forget the faces of their true bosses — the voters.
They race to Capitol Hill and quickly throw in with the bureaucratic class, sucking up all the benefits a modern-day politician receives, thanks to the taxpayers. They forget their role as public servants; they forget they’re supposed to be humble representatives of the public, sworn to protect and defend the American citizenry and Constitution. They turn blind eyes to the realities of their electorate, to the troubles and difficulties and challenges their own district voters experience, and they mockingly shrug off the negative impacts their own special agendas foist onto the people. The transgender evils have been playing across America for years, rising in frequency and astonishing boldness and lunacy under Democrat control.
Now suddenly, these same Democrats who allowed the wickedness to go forth — who sat quietly by as boys were entering the arena of girls’ sports and leaving girls with serious injuries across high school and college campuses around the nation — now these same Democrats are all of a sudden sitting up and taking notice and calling for an end to the lunacy?
“Moulton,” The Hill wrote, “like Suozzi, has voted with most other Democrats to safeguard transgender rights since his election to Congress in 2015. Twice, once in 2022 and again in 2023, he cosponsored House Democrats’ Transgender Bill of Rights, which, among other protections, would guarantee trans athletes the right to participate on sports teams that match their gender identity.”
Never forget.
The damage from the LGBTQ community, brought to America almost exclusively by enabling and coddling and wicked Democrats, is going to have lingering effects on innocent children, naive and damaged youth, the world of athletics, the sanctity of traditional family units — the sanity of God’s ordained plans for His creations — for years to come. And Democrats like these two gaslighting cowards are to blame.
