(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) called U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Gail Heriot, a law professor at the University of San Diego School of Law, an “ignorant bigot” for Heriot’s testimony Tuesday that the guidance issued by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, which says students may use bathrooms and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity, was “teaching young people a terrible lesson.”

The exchange occurred during a hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee’s Task Force on Executive Overreach.

“I don’t usually call out witnesses, but here’s what the written testimony says,” Lofgren began.

Psych disorder perverts get shielded under civil rights umbrella.

I am not perfect and have flaws and weaknesses, but I dont have an agenda to push it on everyone else and have it declared as good and protected by government.

The progressives will stage Stalinistic show trials in this country if they ever get the chance.

You know you are on the right side when you hear that from those opposing you nowadays, I guess.

What ever happened to the Dems weeping and wailing about the loss of “civility” in politics?

I’ve met Gail Herriot multiple times and always enjoyed hearing her speak. Lofgren is a toad.

What will Zoe’s position be when a 6’3” 190 pound claims he feels like a woman and wants to use the women’s restroom plus he also wants to play for the schools women’s basketball team.

I've worn it as a badge of honor for at least a decade.

Yes, the state sovereignty-ignoring gender rights movement is teaching young people a terrible lesson.

And it remains that the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power make laws or policies to protect so-called sex-related civil rights outside the scope of voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amedment.

If patriots feel that the feds should have the constitutional authority to make civil laws that protect sex outside the scope of voting rights then please review the Constitution’s Article V.

Otherwise, remember in November !

I wonder if President Trump will take this one on.

And how do you end this propaganda deluge while preserving the First Amendment?

If someone calls you a “bigot” you can always reply,

“Hell yes, my Ot is big!”
