Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized for “cruel” response to Democrats’ trans flag

by

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) Drew bipartisan condemnation for putting up a poster saying “There are TWO genders” in response to a trans pride flag installed outside Rep. Marie Newman’s (D-Ill.) Office.

Newman, who has a transgender daughter, posted a video on Twitter Wednesday afternoon when she placed the flag outside her office after Greene called for the Equality Act, which aims to protect LGBTQ individuals from discrimination, “An attack on God’s creation” and “disgusting, immoral and evil”.

In response, Newman tweeted the video and thought, “We thought about putting on our Transgender flag so she can look at it whenever she opens the door.”

Shortly after Newman posted the video online, Greene tweeted a video of Newman on the floor promoting the Equality Act in the House floor, with Greene calling Newman’s daughter “his biological son”.

Greene, who lost his seat on the committee after promoting messages of violence against Democratic leaders and several conspiracy theories on Wednesday posted a video her putting a new sign outside her own office that said, “There are TWO genders: MALE AND WOMAN. ‘Trust science!’ “

“I thought about putting ours on so she could look whenever she opened the door,” Greene tweeted.

Fellow lawmakers were quick to criticize Greene for his response, along with fellow Democratic deputy from Newman.

“This is sad and I am sorry that this happened,” said Kinzinger of Greene’s poster. “Rep. Newmans’ daughter is transgender, and this video and tweet represents the self-promotion policy guided by hatred and fame at all costs. This garbage must end in order to #RestoreOurGOP. “

Newman, however, says he never wanted the trans pride flag to explode in an “eye for an eye” with Greene, counting from CNN Alisyn Camerota Thursday morning that she simply intended “make a statement so that she [Greene] sees LGBTQ + people. ”

“I am immensely proud of my daughter and that is all that everyone is asking for, to be treated like anyone else, and that is what I want Representative Greene to see,” said Newman.

“I wasn’t worried about her reaction,” she added of Greene’s signal. “What I wanted her to do was see the LGBTQ community and understand that equality is long overdue, so it is irrelevant to me.”

“She can continue with this, whatever she is doing, and I have no interest in that,” continued Newman. “What I’m interested in now is to turn the corner and get back to work.”
