Transgender New Hampshire state Rep. Alice Wade (D) today accused Democratic Socialist U.S. House candidate Heath Howard of pressuring her to drop out of her race because he believed her trans identity would spoil her chances. He initially denied all wrongdoing, but later admitted to making comments about her gender.

    Was this his “polite way” of asking her to sit it out because she’s trans or because she’s inept for the job.?

      If she was inept, he should’ve been straightforward with her instead of trying various ways of bullying her into silence while pretending to be her friend.

        You’ve just described two tools used by republicans - pretending to care and lying. And he’s used both.

            And Booker, and Schumer, and Fetterman, and on and on. Redcoats in blue sweaters. Beware. Sneaky ones too, like trash barge Marge and the Putin Foundry of Bullshit. Sneaky shit. Infiltrate. Putin loves that sort of shit. Squeeze into every aspect of American government - then pull the switch.

            Things were better before trump and his ilk - his entire gang pre AND post. Things started going to shit at “Reagan”… that pretend cowboy set the current ball rolling - the one that is rolling over America and destroying it.

            Sinclair Lewis allegedly warned that when fascism comes to America it will be “wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” There was no mention of a golden throne in a cathedral like throne room though. I think that’s a mobster touch.

            ta da. Nostradamus? Nay.
