Johnson on transgender member-elect: ‘We treat all persons with dignity and respect’
The Hill ^ | 11/19/2024 | Emily Brooks

Posted on 11/19/2024 10:07:37 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) sidestepped any specifics Tuesday when asked about Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), who will be the first transgender member of the House, amid an effort by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) to ban transgender women from single-sex facilities such as women’s restrooms in the Capitol.

“We welcome all members with open arms who are newly elected representatives of the people. I believe it’s a — it’s a command. We treat all persons with dignity and respect,” Johnson said at a press conference Tuesday when asked about McBride.

“And I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this,” Johnson continued. “There’s a concern about the uses of restroom facilities and locker rooms and all that. This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before. We’re going to do that in a deliberate fashion with members’ consensus on it, and we will accommodate the needs of every single person.”

Well, since there isn’t really such a thing, make the transvestite/cross dresser use the mens room. Special treatment is not equal treatment.

Even after voters made it known that they dont care about this crap or even better, hate it, Rs still can’t just come out and say it.

“he can’t use the ladies room”

6 simple words.

Well, it hits home,since a man who says he’s a woman, has been elected to Congress from Delaware. He will have to go to the bathroom in Congress at some point.

In today’s politically correct world, we apparently can’t just tell him to go in the men’s room. So Congress finds itself in this culture war battle.

I read what Johnson said three times.

I still have no clue what he means.

Politicians are amazing at doing that.

Lol.

Easy enough. A female House member needs to follow him into the restroom. Wait a few seconds then run out screaming he tried to attack her.

democrats always say you have to believe the woman.

“I believe it’s a — it’s a command. We treat all persons with dignity and respect,” Johnson said....”

He’s a Christian....by “command” he’s referring to The Great Commission. Mark 12:30-31

What about the women that don’t want to man in the women’s bathroom? Do they get dignity and respect?

Mental illness has been normalized. That has to be done to normalize many democRATs. They are not normal to me. They always were, and they still are crazy.

Build a separate restroom for the freak. Maybe an outhouse over by the Jefferson Memorial.

Thanks, Delaware, for foisting this freak onto the rest of us via Congress.

He refers to people, which is us, the electorate. And refers to it as a “person”. Words have meaning.

A people is a human. A person is a broad category, includes corporations, chattel, stock, strawmen and fiction

We treat all persons with dignity and respect

Mike's so noble and pious, he'd probably offer a portion of his own liver to Hannibal Lecter out of: "dignity and respect".
