Crockett Slams Republicans: Trump’s Spending vs. Trans Athlete Debate
A House hearing on transgender athletes, spurred by a cisgender fencer’s disqualification for refusing to compete against a transgender opponent, devolved into chaos. Rep. Jasmine Crockett countered Republican arguments by playing a game highlighting the disproportionate focus on transgender issues versus significant government waste and mismanagement under the Trump administration. This strategy underscored Crockett’s assertion that the hearing was a distraction from pressing issues facing Americans. The hearing featured heated exchanges between Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace, known for their anti-trans views, and Democratic members defending transgender rights.
