Fred Wellman‬: This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress.

A lot of folks don't seem to understand why this is brave and smart. Nancy Mace and the Republicans desperately want to argue about transgender bathrooms and not Gaetz sex crimes, Hegseth white supremacy, Gabbard being a foreign agent, McMahon being a coconspirator in sex trafficking...etc.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

The play is to not take the bait. Sure she could fight this. She could lay in the hallway or "bravely" use the bathroom of her choice...and the idiot fucking media would be ALL over it. Trump would get his way. No bills will pass in the lame duck session. We are all chasing their bullshit. Get it?

noting that looking across the aisle and trying to see good in any of the GQP members will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Maybe Speaker Johnson should hire him as bathroom monitor to inspect everyone’s body parts before being allowed in a restroom . Cruz seemed very interested in this subject.

Gaetz would probably volunteer to check the underaged.

That she says she will follow the rules. At least she won't get the shit beat out of her in the Congressional men's room, But maybe the guys will feel uncomfortable peeing in front of her and realize how wrong they are on this issue.

And I know it's not about the bathroo.s. I'm saying the men of Congress who are trying to embarrass her will instead be embarrassed themselves.

They’re desperate to turn the clock back to those “good old days” before women got the right to vote.
