Rep.-elect Sarah McBride of Delaware has taken to the airwaves to decry House Republicans for a newly announced policy banning transgender individuals from using bathrooms that don’t align with their biological sex. In a classic case of projection, she suggested this move is merely a cunning ploy to distract the public from what really matters—namely, the economy, which definitely hasn’t been thriving under Democratic leadership. The question remains: if the economic policies of the left are so stellar, why the need for such distractions?
House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana has made waves by enforcing a straightforward policy on bathroom usage within the Capitol building, responding to legislation from Rep. Nancy Mace. This straightforward approach aims to reaffirm biological realities, something that should be non-controversial, yet here we are. McBride’s response couldn’t be more typical of the current Democratic playbook; when faced with an inconvenient truth, divert attention and fill the air with accusations.
In a somewhat theatrical performance on CBS’s Face the Nation, McBride suggested that House Republicans are more focused on targeting transgender individuals than on the real issues affecting hardworking Americans. Apparently, she believes that every mention of “trans” is a deliberate effort to whisk away attention from pressing matters such as job losses and soaring inflation. One has to wonder: if there’s no merit in their policies, why must they engage in these elaborate distraction tactics?

McBride also took the opportunity to comment on recent discord within her party concerning transgender ideology’s impact on support from moderates. Following Rep. Seth Moulton’s reasonable objection to letting biological males compete against his daughters in women’s sports, McBride argued that America is still sorting through the “full diversity” of the transgender community. This raises an eyebrow; one has to ask if the concept of “diversity” here includes the safety and fairness for biological females.
Ironically, while McBride insists that Republicans are merely fiddling with bathroom policies, House Speaker Johnson is actually focused on reinstating common sense in a politically correct world gone haywire. McBride’s adherence to Johnson’s policies indicates she’s at least willing to comply with the rules of the House to focus on the real issues—like economic challenges facing families. It’s a shame that she feels the need to shape-shift her political narrative into something more accusatory when perhaps she could be supporting straightforward governance instead. But hey, understanding science and biology doesn’t seem to be part of the modern Democratic agenda.
