Lawmaker hits back at antigay GOP colleague so hard it definitely left a mark
Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow clapped back hard in a viral speech against her Republican colleague’s “hollow, hateful scheme” of labeling LGBTQ allies across the aisle as “groomers” and “pedophiles.”McMorrow said she was surprised to learn that Republican state Sen.
Lana Theis sent out a fundraising email accusing her of wanting to “groom and sexualize kindergarteners.”“I didn’t expect to wake up yesterday to the news that the senator from the 22nd District had, overnight, accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an email fundraising for herself,” McMorrow said. “So I sat on it for a while wondering: Why me?
And then I realized: Because I am the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme. Because you can’t claim that you are targeting marginalized kids in the name of ‘parental rights’ if another parent is standing up to say no.”Related: Florida teen goes viral educating history teacher on Stonewall.
