Neighbors in Congress are in public dispute on Thursday, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene placing a sign in front of her Capitol office proclaiming “there are two sexes,” after Rep. Marie Newman put a transgender flag on the next door to protest opposition to the equality bill.
Greene, who was elected in November, posted a video on Wednesday of her hanging the sign, which says “There are TWO genders: man and woman, trust science.”
It is located directly in the hallway from the office of Representative Newman, who has a transgender daughter.
Newman (D-Ill.) also published a video of herself on Twitter, showing her hanging a transgender flag.
“Our neighbor, @RepMTG, tried to block the Equality Act because she thinks banning discrimination against trans-Americans is“ disgusting, immoral, and evil. ”She thought we should put up our transgender flag so you can look at it every time. once you open the door, ”he said in the message.
The two congressmen have been firing all week amid the debate over the Equality Act.
Taylor Greene, who opposes the legislation, responded to a tweet from Newman about his speech in the chamber in favor of the bill.
“Without the Equality Act, millions of Americans like my daughter can be denied housing, education and more simply because they identify as transgender. I am voting to pass the Equality Act for my daughter, the strongest and bravest person I know, ”Newman said.
The Georgia representative fired at Newman in his own place.
“As mothers, we all love and support our children. But your biological son does NOT belong in my daughters’ bathrooms, changing rooms and sports equipment, ”he said.
Earlier, Taylor Greene pointed out that yes presented a movement postpone “in order to give every member of Congress time to rethink the destruction of #WomensRights and #WomensSports and #ReligiousFreedom before voting for the #EqualityAct!”
Taylor Greene, who was stripped of her committee’s duties to express QAnon’s conspiracy theories, also clashed with Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu over the Equality Act.
California Place noted her adjournment motion in a tweet addressed to her.
“Dear Rep. @Mtgreenee: Congratulations on making the first random move to postpone it. Can you feel the power? You can force all members to show up on the ground. The downside, of course, is that it’s a waste of time and money. of taxpayers voting on stupid, pointless motions, ”he said earlier this week.
He kicked back.
“I hope that by making you have to walk up to the House to vote (do your job), maybe there will be enough blood flow to your brain to vote NO to #EqualityAct and NOT destroy #WomensRights and #ReligiousFreedom,” Taylor said Greene.
“In the real world, people don’t complain like you.”
The House is expected to pass legislation, which would explicitly on Thursday extend federal civil rights protections to LGBTQ Americans.
