Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Thursday that some fellow Senate Republicans were against his "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," drafted to prevent biological men from competing in women's sports.
"We know the Democrats aren't gonna vote for it, but I actually had a couple of Republicans who voted against me on this," Tuberville said at the annual CPAC event outside of Washington, D.C., in suburban Maryland. "I went to them and asked, 'Don't you have a daughter? Don't you have granddaughters? I mean, what planet are you coming from?'"
Tuberville introduced the bill last year, and said Thursday that it is unfair and wrong for biological men to compete against biological women in girls' sports.
The legislation is still in the first stage of the legislative process.
He also criticized USA Boxing for its new policy that allows boxers who transition from male to female to compete in the female category, according to The New York Post.
"Someone's gonna get hurt," the Alabama senator said.
He also said that there's "zero common sense in the clown world."
Naming names would be fun.
Name names.
I bet Murkowski and Collins would be two of them.
My advice is to get the hell away from this issue and let the participants deal with it themselves.
The only thing that rivals virtue-signaling by the left is virtue-signaling by the right.
All it takes is for girls to refuse to participate in anything involving trannies
And I’d guess Romney as well.
Give us names Tuberville.
It is just so hard to grasp how people have simply lost touch with normal and reality. I mean seriously, just a decade or so ago these people would have been ostracized as the lunatics they have now become.
“My advice is to get the hell away from this issue and let the participants deal with it themselves.”
Yes, leave young girls and their parents to fight and defeat the left and the entire federal government.
Why not just say you support the left winning the war against civilized culture.
I agree, and some have and it looks like more are.
Oh this is easy to answer.
“Those whom the gods seek to destroy they first make mad.”
The actual women need to boycott any competition that allows cross dressing losers to compete. Yeah, I know. Money. But these dudes are stealing it.
I met with a public forum hosted by an elected state official here in my neck of the woods a few weeks ago. A few of the people in the crowd brought up issues like this and demanded that he "do something" to solve whatever problem they were facing in the local high school.
He brushed off the question by pointing out that it was a matter for the local school district to deal with. When that didn't satisfy them, I stood up and asked a simple question: "Why don't you people just run for the school board and fix these things yourselves?"
Half the crowd cheered me on. The other half grumbled and muttered resentfully.
The worst thing that has happened to this once-great country is that we've come to accept "conditioned helplessness" as a culturally acceptable state of affairs.
What did their voters back home want? Elected officials always say what they want. They need to vote for the wishes of the people in their district.
And if they don’t, if they go along with GOPe to get the committee assignments, Vote them out.
The fact that they -- and their parents -- can't even bring themselves to do that speaks volumes about how pathetic so many Americans are.
I made this point when Riley Gaines called for women/girls to boycott sporting events with tranny competitors in a public statement on the subject a few months ago. I pointed out that she has ZERO credibility to even suggest such a thing ... because when SHE was in a position to do exactly that as a competitive swimmer herself, she just climbed up on the starting block and dove into the pool with male competitors.
More will mean less. Encourage the destruction of women’s sports and women’s rights because that’s what females want, proof is in their votes.
Like most Senators, the GOP members have simple test for any piece of legislation: does it serve the interests of my best and closest large donors? Culture war issues that affect the general public barely register.
