AOC says Green Party is 'predatory' for opposing trans women in female sports teams
Daily Mail ^ | James Reinl

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed the Green Party's presidential ticket for being 'predatory' over its lack of support for transgender athletes in women's sports.

Posting on X, Ocasio-Cortez criticized the party's vice presidential nominee, Butch Ware over his comments that biological males should not compete on women's sports teams.

Ocasio-Cortez has framed herself as a staunch defender of the rights of trans people, and has launched a series of attacks on the Green Party, which threatens to draw votes from Democrats in Tuesday's presidential election.

'This ticket is predatory and people deserve better,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

She was responding to a video posted to X by lawyer and columnist Olayemi Olurin, showing Ware, a black Muslim scholar and hip hop artist, expressing concerns about women's sports being undermined by trans athletes.

'I don't think that biological males should play in female sports,' Ware said in the video.

'I think it gives an unfair, you know, competitive advantage.'...

Ware and Stein fought back against Ocasio-Cortez in their own X posts.

Ware said he was a 'vocal advocate for queer rights' and his comments in the posted video had been 'taken out of context and used to paint me as holding views I fundamentally reject.'

Democrats were succumbing to 'fear and desperation' in their tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump and were trying to 'drive a wedge into the Green Party,' said Ware.

Stein has branded Ocasio-Cortez the 'attack dog du jour' and accused the Democrats of being 'predatory' by pretending to support a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas when they're really 'actively funding and arming genocide.'

'The Democrats are running scared,' Stein said in her video post.

'And they should be, because who wants to support a genocide? Who wants to vote for a genocide?'

Leftist tantrum — “I need to get my way at all times. If I don’t, then you are a predatory racist Hitler.”

Sandy Beach Cortez is running the hell out of her big horse mouth trying to become relevant again now that her squawd members have gone their separate ways trying to pack their “golden parachutes” before the party in the District of Corruption ends.

I think for those voters who are considering a vote for the Green Party rather than the DEMs, AOC just gave them a solid reason to do it.

Where do Ilhan and Rashida stand on the trans- issue? With Sandy, or with muslims? Probably democrats, first and foremost.

Uh, I know someone who proudly states “transwomen are women!”

She also told me “you can’t have minus numbers!”

Of course she’s a Democrat. Because of fee fees you see.

It is so sad the nation has arrived at the point where stopping men pretending to be women from ruining womens’ lives can be controversial. And this tranny BS is absolutely ruining lots of womens’ lives.

But the insane Party of Chaos, which is “all for women,” is happy to ruin women athletes lives and not give it a thought.

This is DoubleThink — simultaneously holding and believing two opposite beliefs.

Speaking of “The Barmaids Tale” are the smart and savy New Yorkers going to elect her again or is Tammany doing it again?
