Anti-LGBTQ+ Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) followed in the president’s footsteps on Monday when he used an anti-trans slur to describe cisgender Democratic South Carolina Senate candidate Annie Andrews.
Scott said during an appearance on Real America’s Voice, “Annie Andrews, as President Donald Trump calls her, tr***y Annie, here’s a person who believes, as a pediatrician, for trans surgery, gender surgery for trans kids. That’s wrong. Period,” Scott said.
That IS shit that matters. If that’s how someone talks about women in private, I don’t want to be in the same room as him, let alone give him more power over women. Along with his “locker room talk” defense, that was a perfect representation of the misogyny that we’re fighting against. It wasn’t that he used a dirty word, it’s that he thinks half the population are objects to be grabbed.
Yeah, and how did it work out? Trump won twice. Just because it offends you personally doesn’t make it a winning political issue.
