Trans Lawmaker Sarah McBride Drops Brutal Trump Assessment After GOP Rep's Misgendering

McBride called out the president's administration for its "cycle of chaos, corruption and cynicism" as she declined to respond to her Republican colleague.

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly trans person elected to Congress, let her brutal criticism of President Donald Trump’s administration do the talking on Thursday after Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) misgendered her on the House floor.

Miller, a Trump ally who has backed anti-trans policies including the president’s wave of executive orders, presided over the House where she referred to the freshman lawmaker as “the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride.”

Instead of immediately replying to the swipe ahead of what marked her first-ever speech on the House floor, McBride went after the president instead.

“Thank you, Madam Speaker. When I was elected, I promised to work with anyone who would help Delaware and Delawareans and to stand up to anyone who seeks to harm my state,” said McBride, who became the center of Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S.C.) anti-trans crusade late last year.

She added, “Instead of seeking common ground, the Trump administration from day one has waged an unrelenting attack on working people in Delaware and across the country, seeking to freeze funding for first responders, domestic violence shelters, schools and health care facilities that my constituents rely on.”
