Democratic candidate Laura Benjamin announced that she's dropping out of a House race several days after putting out a fundraising campaign advertisement shredding into assassinated conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

Tranny Violence.
That thing just looks wrong...
THE QUESTION: “ Who in their right mind thought this was a good way to drum up cash for a political campaign?”
AND THE ANSWER: “Benjamin, a transgender former city council member…”
Benjamin, you see, is CRAZY! That’s who!
Tannies hate themselves and hate God most of all. Nothing good will ever come to them no matter how many democrats prostate themselves to their delusions.
You do make a good point.
Cooperating with the word “gender” is bad enough, but to cooperate in directly mis-naming a male and a female only advances a tragic & demonic delusion.
Writer is neither hot nor cold on facts nor accuracy.
The party of misplaced compassion has become the party that replaced compassion.
