Rep. Jasmine Crockett addressed the impact of the trans athlete debate on the Democratic Party and suggested the issue is a distraction that divided the party.
"In this election, we allowed ourselves to be divided. We allowed them to distract us, and we allowed them to talk about the trans folk," Crockett said. "According to them, the trans kids, they want to play sports. That is the biggest issue that we’ve had. Since when? Since when? Find the little trans child that is ruining your life. I mean, I’m just like, what are we doing? Like, what are we doing?" Jackson Thompson is a sports writer for Fox News Digital. He previously worked for ESPN and Business Insider.
