Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo interrupted a Republican congressman live on air after he said being transgender was a "mental illness."
Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee appeared on Mornings with Maria Bartiromo on Monday, where he was asked about the backlash against Joe Biden's celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday. "On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know," Biden said in a Sunday post on X, formerly Twitter. "Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect."
In a statement to Newsweek, Burchett said: "The American Psychiatric Association has recognized gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder as a mental illness for a long time. However, it doesn't take a psychiatry degree to know when a person believes something that isn't true -- like when a man believes he's a woman -- it means there's something wrong.
"A lot of these folks aren't getting the help they need, and if we don't address the issue for what it is, then nothing is going to get better."

It should have been called Libtard Nutball Day
She added: "But I will say this. Christians want their Easter Sunday, and Easter Sunday happens to be on March 31st this year. So to declare a transgender visibility day on the day of Easter holiday, the resurrection. When, you know, Christians and Catholics everywhere believe this is a high holy day. That is outrageous."
OMG....NOT MARIA!!!! ALL of this TRansgender and GAY CRAP is a MENTAL DISORDER!
“”And I don’t know what you’re saying in terms of mental illness. I have no idea what you’re talking about in that regard,” Bartiromo said.”
Come on Maria. You knew damn well what he was saying and most likely agreed with him. Unfortunately you care more about your job than about telling the truth regarding transgenderism. Don’t want to upset the Ryan Gang at the BOD do we?
Before everyone throws Maria under the bus, maybe they should at least read (or listen) to what she said. She quibbled, or at least question Burchett about whether transgenderism is a mental illness, but, that aside, she unequivocally denounced Biden for declaring Easter “Transgender Awareness Day”.
Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee appeared on Mornings with Maria Bartiromo on Monday, where he was asked about the backlash against Joe Biden’s celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday....
When asked about [Biden’s] comments [celebrating Transgender Day], Burchett said the statement “was a complete smack in the face.”
Discussing the issue further, he then said: “See military recruitment down because of this, this movement. They’re pushing through the budget, continuation of surgeries on transgenders.
“You know, this thing is, it’s, it’s a mental illness. We just gotta address it. It’s it’s not a, it’s not a normal type lifestyle, and, I can’t be more against what the president did.
“And I think it shows, too; he is just trying to secure his base. You know, here and he’s losing everything but his base, and his far-left base, you know, agrees with this type of behavior.”
Bartiromo could be heard repeating “mental illness” in the background before cutting Burchett off.
“And I don’t know what you’re saying in terms of mental illness. I have no idea what you’re talking about in that regard,” Bartiromo said.
She added: “But I will say this. Christians want their Easter Sunday, and Easter Sunday happens to be on March 31st this year. So to declare a transgender visibility day on the day of Easter holiday, the resurrection. When, you know, Christians and Catholics everywhere believe this is a high holy day. That is outrageous.”
She’s a WEF girl.
One can celebrate victims of this illness, just as one can celebrate cancer victims and survivors, but this does not change the fact that gender dysphoria is a disease resulting from a lesion in the reproductive system which interferes with its function, just as a lesion of the Isles of Langerhans interferes with the function of producing of insulin resulting in diabetes.
To declare that gender dysphoria is perfectly normal doesn't change the facts.
Maria doesn't understand this?
“Maria was one of the good ones!”
Apparently, not anymore.
Faux News is Murdoch Moloch NeoCon Satanist Central.
the left learned decades ago that all these committees... no one likes to serve on so it is easy to infiltrate and take them over.
In this case the fags took over the APA and simply declared themselves sane. But everyone knows they are nuts.
Burchett said: “The American Psychiatric Association has recognized gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder as a mental illness for a long time.

Beats repeating again
No time to look at the actual article, but plenty of time to whine like a little girl.
FTFA: "Bartiromo could be heard repeating "mental illness" in the background before cutting Burchett off."
He was my Rep for years until we moved to another county in July. Always seemed to be pretty good. Our Rep now, Fleishman, sucks.
Tim Burchett was 100% correct.
I don’t know what is the matter with Bartiromo, except perhaps Fox has warned their hosts not to criticize the Dem’s various assortment of sexual deviants, like it reportedly told their hosts not to let guests claim Soros was a devious scoundrel.
Tim Burchett speaks truth to power.
Burchett is one of the very few good guys. I like him a lot.
“Millions?”
Well,but does explain the votes Biden got/sarc.
We all became California and not in a good way!
(Maria Bartiromo)
Wasn’t she a “young leader” of some Globalist?
“And I don’t know what you’re saying in terms of mental illness. I have no idea what you’re talking about in that regard,” Bartiromo said.
The words of a frightened coward.
WEF I think. Not sure.
Same one as Dan Crenshaw
