Why Lauren Boebert & her ilk are so obsessed wtih LGBTQ+ people [View all]
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) stood up for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson after leaked video showed him making creepy comments to a female staffer, arguing that trans women’s mere existence somehow negates Carlson’s alleged sexual harassment.
Her words are emblematic of how Republicans have decided that calling LGBTQ+ people “groomers” and “pedophiles” should deflect attention from the sexual impropriety people committed by people they like.
...This could explain why Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) – one of Trump’s most loyal supporters who has practically been begging him to pick her as his running mate – called President Joe Biden a “pedophile” last month. If you can’t defend your own likely 2024 presidential nominee, accuse the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee of being worse.
“Even Joe Biden the President himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries,” Greene said on 60 Minutes. “Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children.”
