“People should be evaluated on performance, not gender," Honda, who has a transgender granddaughter, said in a statement.
Yes, because what's important for our over-paid and underworked US legislators is the two or three "transgender" people in the United States who want to join the armed forces, and NOT enforcing black-letter US criminal law, and arresting presidential candidate "Felony" Clinton for her multiple Obstruction of Justice felonies involving her private email server...
These people are just trolling us, their enemies.
That's all it is.
Honda is Mr. Japanese Victim, always wailing about the Internment. He never served in the U.S. military and has done everything he can to retaliate for having spent a few years in one of the camps. He literally believes the U.S. had no right to oppose the Sacred Japanese Empire.
As for Speier, she only holds on to power based on her status as a Victim of herself when she was shot in Guyana after trying to negotiate with Jim Jones and his Kool Aid drinkers. Her district is now primarily Asian and she panders to their instinctual Anti-Americanism. If she can cripple the military in any way she does.
Two freaks in search of a brain, nothing more.
