Показать описание
The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, R-LA, said Tuesday afternoon that he wanted to clarify comments he had made earlier about transgender people and the use of the restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson said he believes all people should be "treated with dignity," but...
"I just want to make a statement for all of you here and be very clear. I was asked a question this morning at the leadership gaggle, and I rejected the premise because the answer is so obvious. For anybody who doesn't know my well established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman. That said, I also believe - that's what Scripture teaches, what I just said - but I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity, and so we can do and believe all those things at the same time. And I wanted to make that clear for everybody, because there's lots of questions, but that's where I stand. I've stood there my whole life, and those are facts."
