Trans-identifying lawmaker Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) took some serious backlash on Thursday for claiming that the Republican Party was focusing on “culture war” issues to the point of being “bizarre.”
“We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection,” McBride began, waving aside criticism of Democrats’ behavior both during and since President Donald Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress.
“I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues,” McBride continued. “I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me thinking about how to lower the costs for American families. … They are obsessed with culture war issues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”

But the consensus on X was that McBride was not really in a position to make that judgment call.

“I don’t know I kinda think it’s weirder and more bizarre for a man to claim that men can become women and then put on ladyface and demand everyone participate in an obvious delusion,” The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson posted.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), who sparked ire from the Left when she introduced McBride as “Mister,” weighed in as well: “What’s truly ‘weird and bizarre’ is thinking you can throw on a wig, put on some makeup, and suddenly become a ‘female.’ No amount of pretending will ever change the way God created you. The truth is unshakable, and no one will ever erase it from our culture.”
