1. Putting aside the transgender nonsense (see below), this, uh, person was convicted of leaking 700,000 classified documents. Why on Earth would the people of Maryland want this, uh, person to represent them?
2. Now, back to the transgender nonsense. Every single cell in this, uh, person’s body has both an X and a Y chromosome. Unless human biology has changed rather appreciatively in the 40 years since I had Biology in high school, that make this, uh, person a male. My Bio teacher was VERY specific in telling us that outward sexual cues were NOT what made a person a male or a female (and there were no other choices, BTW), but what their DNA said...and there was no room for argument or doubt. The mental problems that this, uh, person has make HIM unfit to hold public office, IMHO (not to mention the treasonous activities).
***Why on Earth would the people of Maryland want this, uh, person to represent them?***
Good question - Maryland is more diverse than is apparent from voting records.
Then too, the MSM is going to love the drama and will completely ignore the treason you listed. This is 2018 - not 1945.
It’s also a way for Manning to raise money - like the Clintons.
