Parenting guides have been published for at least several hundred years in the West, full of advice on everything from diet, to curing colic, to whether and how to “sleep train” a baby. But we need a guide for how to parent adult babies, otherwise known as Democratic lawmakers. So far, the only option most people can think of to deal with the left’s temper tantrums is to let them cry it out.
And oh, are they crying it out. The sour faces, heckling, shouting, and infantile signs—”Musk Steals!”—of the Democrat half of the Senate during President Trump’s first address to a joint session of Congress was the most immature display in politics in living memory. Even the lunatic-left Washington Post acknowledged it, though in the gentlest possible language, calling the party’s behavior a “low ebb.”
Transgender ideology, even more than shoveling endless billions to Ukraine, seems to be the issue that brings your average Democrat to hysteria quicker than anything else. Republican Representative Keith Self of Texas learned this when he referred to another male member of the House as “Mr. McBride.” Self’s colleague, Massachusetts Democrat Bill Keating, jerked like a dog on a chain and started barking at Rep. Self.
Why? Because Self referred to “Mr. McBride.” The Democratic Representative from Delaware is a man formerly known as Tim McBride who now calls himself Sarah McBride, and tells the world that he is a woman.
McBride immediately referred to Chairman Self as “Madam Chair” right back, I guess in an attempt to “show him what misgendering feels like.” It doesn’t make much sense, because McBride was being correctly gendered the whole time.
Bill Keating didn’t think that McBride could defend himself, apparently, and rushed in like a knight errant to defend the “lady’s” honor. “Would you repeat what you just said,” he asked Rep. Self in an outraged voice.
Representative Keating got even more emotional, pulling a McCarthy-hearing-moment on Self, spluttering, “have you no decency?” and telling the chairman that he was “out of order” and that he, Keating, would not be participating in any hearing until Self agreed to call McBride a woman.
Check it out:
Self’s response was a gavel bang along with “This meeting is adjourned.”
Let’s see how X/Twitter users saw it.
