Joe Kennedy to bring transgender soldier to Trump's State of the Union
The Hill ^ | 01/28/18 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Rep. Joseph Kennedy (D-Mass.) has invited a transgender soldier to President Trump’s first State of the Union in protest of the administration's attempt to ban transgender people from the military.

Staff Sgt. Patricia King will be the lawmaker's guest to Trump’s address, according to The Boston Globe.

King told the Globe that she realized she was a transgender woman while serving in the military, and soon came out to her family.

Trump announced last year that he was banning transgender people from serving in the U.S. military. However, courts have halted the ban and transgender people were allowed to enlist starting Jan. 1.

“I have served for almost 19 years,” King told the Globe. “And all of a sudden, it is all hanging in the balance.”

King also told the publication that she was the first service member to have her gender reassignment surgery paid for by the military.

“There are much easier ways to get surgery covered than enlisting in the military, [facing] the possibility of deployment, and dealing with the stigma of being a transgender service member,” she said. “Every one of us who raises our right hand is prepared to give everything in the defense of our country.”

Kennedy, a rising star in the Democratic Party who will deliver the party's response to Trump’s address, told the paper that he invited King to remind the president of transgender service members' dedication to the U.S.

“I want her to be there as a real person, and the face of an inhumane policy,” Kennedy said.

Trump will deliver his first State of the Union on Tuesday night.

“Why don’t all these damn Kennedys drink themselves to death. A family of boozing, alcoholic, drug ridden, philandering traitors.”

Since the oldest brother died in WW2 and JFK was murdered the Kennedys have been a never ending line of pukes. What a family Ireland got rid of. Send your shit to America.

If Kennedy is into that kind of thing so be it. Quite the 180 from the typical Kennedy fetishes.

The Dems’ Greatest Freak Show on Earth traveling circus is gonna give Cirque a run for their money.

What’s sad is that “normal people” are quite indulgent towards misfits and freaks when they aren’t trying to usurp the natural order. Now there will be increasing hostility due to the demonic do-gooder Dems dragging them out of the shadows and sticking them in peoples’ faces 24/7.

If someone is gender confused they are mentally unstable and don’t belong in the military. Gender dysphoria is a serious psychiatric problem, no matter what the Leftards may say.

It’s not a she!

I’ll give it “it status” so not to be argue. If you took a DNA swab analyzed the material on the swab it would male. You could continue taking DNA swabs until the world ran out of swabs and it still would analyze male! It’s no more male then John Nash was Emperor Antarctica (One of Nash’s delusions!).

I refuse to go along with this farce! Whose the anti-science party now Rats ? You’re not only anti-science but anti-reason, anti-fact & anti-reality!

I agree. Liberals from the coasts just do not get it. This will not embarrass Trump at all; it will backfire and more voters will see how silly and immature these Democrats are.

Here I sit, after 22 years in the Army Reserve, working all sorts of civilian jobs, and I do not have health insurance. Yet this zip-wad wastes our tax dollars mutilating himself surgically.

We’re on a sinking ship.

Dimwitted Rep. Joseph Kennedy (D-Mass.) has stupidly invited a soldier with a disordered mind, to President Trump’s first State of the Union.

This is simply more evidence that the Democrats are bankrupt, and have nothing to offer the American people.

Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder.

I’m guessing that Soros, and his like-minded useful idiots have promised big bucks to Kennedy and/or DNC.
