Jenna Ellis, an advisor for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, referred to Pennsylvania health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine as “this guy” in a Tweet on Monday.
The Tweet states “This guy is making decisions about your health” while linking to a PennLive story about a news briefing in May where a Pittsburgh radio host repeatedly referred to Levine as “sir.” Levine objected to being misgendered, and the host later apologized, saying he was distracted.
The Tweet by Ellis prompted a response from the Washington, D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ rights organization.
“Jenna Ellis is a bigot and Dr. Levine is a patriot - plain and simple. Dr. Levine illustrates character and patriotism while Ellis cannot even define those terms,” the commission said.
The campaign further said, “Despite claims of allyship, Donald Trump, Mike Pence and their staff have gone out of their way to dehumanize and attack transgender and non-binary people simply for existing. Trump and his allies have refused to acknowledge the epidemic of violence transgender and gender non-conforming people face, attempted to strip away their access to health care, and blocked these patriotic Americans from openly serving in the military.”
Levine recently addressed various transphobic remarks and acts toward her which had been made in public. A member of her staff also said hateful remarks have been made to her privately, including some by people who have come to her home, which is now patrolled by state police.
“Our children are watching. They are watching what we do. And they are watching how we act, and to all LGBTQ young people, it is okay to be you, and it is okay to stand up for your rights, and your freedoms,” Levine said. “My heart is full with a burning desire to help people, and my time is full with working towards protecting the public health of everyone in Pennsylvania from the impact of the global pandemic due to COVID-19, and I will stay laser focused on that goal.”
According to her Twitter bio, Ellis is a constitutional law attorney and a senior legal adviser to Trump’s campaign. She says in a pinned Tweet, “If they try to cancel Christianity, if they try to force me to apologize or recant my Faith, I will not bend, I will not waver, I will not break.”
The Human Rights Campaign said, “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Levine has steered Pennsylvania through this crisis leading efforts to reduce the spread of the virus and keep Pennsylvanians safe and healthy. Our nation has and should continue to laud the frontline workers and public servants confronting this pandemic, not attack them simply for living their truth.”

Right up there with Gabby Johnson’s genuine frontier gibberish.
Boo Hoo gurl! Me love you long time!
Consarn’, no good scalliwaggin’, bushwhackin’ cracker croaker!
Boy I’ll say! She’s the living end!
He still has his unit as well.. this guys a mental case up and down the block.
This guy is an incompetent boob.. completely in over his head.
Claiming to “follow science” that doesn’t exist while at the same time incapabale of accepting the indesputable scientific facts of his own biology.
No administrative leadership experience of any kind but put in this position just because he checked a box our idiot of a governor needed and wanted.
Our children are watching. They are watching what we do. And they are watching how we act, and to all LGBTQ young people, it is okay to be you, and it is okay to stand up for your rights, and your freedoms,” Levine said.

How many children has he had, does he have?
He is a freak. They used to put them in mental institutions/ Now they put them in Governmental positions. And we call ourselves civilized.
To avoid committing the unspeakable crime against humanity of misgendering any, as Curtis Sliwa used to call them, “frozen vegetable” I refer to them as apparently sentient blobs of protoplasm. But that would offend those who self identify as trans terrestrial.
Someone who doesn’t know what sex he is is leading the COVID response?
That explains a lot.
Remember when every time we opposed an Obama policy we were called racists?
If you oppose a Levine policy, you are transphobic.
That way, the brainless cowards do not have to defend the indefensible policies they enact.
Dr. Levine sired two children and is in arrears on their support payments.
Oh, how hateful! You are obviously a supporter of Y power and Y privilege!
“Jenna Ellis is a bigot and Dr. Levine is a patriot - plain and simple. Dr. Levine illustrates character and patriotism while Ellis cannot even define those terms,” the commission said.
How Orwellian.
I can’t get over how sick it is that PA has a transvestite as their secretary of health. Good grief. Why not a pedophile being in charge of children’s studies and activities? Why not a violent career criminal in charge of the prison system? And some people will try to bully or destroy you for simply thinking common sense. Life free or die folks.
In deliberately "misgendering" Dr. Levine, I'd imagine President Trump's team gains more votes than they lose.
We agree to disagree that this is a totally unnecessary distraction
A hobby of wisecracking on social issues via online forums should be put aside in the best interest of representing the President of the US
