Congressional neighbors are in a public discussion on Thursday, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene placing a sign outside her Capitol office proclaiming “there are two genders”, following Rep. Marie Newman putting a transgender flag on outside your 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: Male and Female, trust science.”
It is across the hall from Rep. Newman’s office, which has a transgender daughter.
Newman (D-Ill.) also posted a video of herself on Twitter, showing her hanging a transgender flag.
”Our neighbor, @RepMTG, tried to block the Equality Act because she believes that prohibiting discrimination against trans-Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral and perverse’. We thought about putting our Transgender flag so she could look at him every time she opens the door, ”she said in the post.
The two congressmen exchanged fire throughout the week amid the debate over the Equality Law.
Taylor Greene, who is opposed to the legislation, responded to a tweet from Newman about his speech on the House floor in support of the bill.
“Without the Equality Act, millions of Americans like my daughter may have denied housing, education and more simply because they identify themselves as transsexuals. I am voting to pass the Equality Act for my daughter – the strongest and most courageous person I know, ”said Newman.
The Georgia representative shot Newman in his own post.
“As mothers, we all love and support our children. But your biological son does NOT belong to my daughters’ bathrooms, changing rooms and sports teams, ”she said.
Taylor Greene previously noted that she introduced a motion to postpone “to give each member of Congress time to rethink the destruction of #WomensRights and #WomensSports and #ReligiousFreedom before voting for #EqualityAct!”
Taylor Greene, who was stripped of her duties on the committee for giving voice to QAnon conspiracy theories, also fought with Democratic MP Ted Lieu over the Equality Act.
Lieu of California observed her motion to end in a tweet addressed to her.
“Dear Representative @mtgreenee: Congratulations on making your first random motion to close! Can you feel the power? You have to force all the members to appear on the floor. The downside, of course, is that it is a waste of taxpayers’ time and money to vote on stupid and meaningless motions, ”he said earlier this week.
She countered.
“I hope that by making you really have to walk to the camera to vote (do your job), there may be enough blood flow to your brain to vote NO to #EqualityAct and NOT destroy #WomensRights and #ReligiousFreedom,” said Taylor Greene.
“In the real world, people don’t complain like you do.”
The House is expected to vote on the legislation, which would explicitly extend federal civil rights protections to LGBTQ Americans on Thursday.
