We already have enough of a circus in the white house!

We don't need activist in our Government officials. We need decent honest legislators.

Rep. Bedey almost had me on his side... until he equated heckling from the public gallery (disruptive though it may be) with the _violent attempted coup d'etat_ at the Capitol on Jan 6 2021. You can't distance yourself from the "Freedom Caucus" crazies while trying to excuse, minimize or trivialize Jan 6.

Politics has turned into a carnival. With different types of freaks from both sides.

It’s a man !!!! Dressing like a lady !! It is a man !!!

But would be a ok for the way MTG carries on

[rhondasisco-cleveland]

Don’t let people butcher themselves before their brains can process long term consequences. It’s abusive.

[SpeakerOfTruth]

Decorum is not a reason for censorship.

She crossed the line you mean he crossed the line .

[suzieakers]

He can pretend he is a woman all day long but dont expect us to join him in his delusion.

[georgespalding]

This man gives this creature too much respect by using female pronouns to describe it.

[vetinaalvarez]

Yea he did !!! when he really thought he could be a woman!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[defauluse]

Im not getting along with a guy in a dress.

[Harriz]

The boy with the wig on looks extremely ill.

[krobust]

Y'all crossed a line when you went after the necessary medicine of CHILDREN.

[samrock]

Just looking at that person would make it difficult for me to call that person *Her*

[elephantwildlife]

Zephyr has every right to engage her constituents

[NicoleH]

They are punishing her for something they’d never choose to punish a Republican for.

[bluetube]

Why was that man dressed up like a woman?

[itchysheets]

Me, taking no sides…but watching all these jabronis look like they do while insisting we call them “she” gtfo
