A mystery group has been sending political mailers to Iowa households over the weekend that hails former President Donald Trump as a “transgender trailblazer” and “thanks” him “for standing up for LGBTQ+ rights!” (despite never having made good on any of his pro-LGBTQ+ policy promises.) The front side of the mailer notes that Trump “celebrated” when President Joe Biden signed the Marriage Equality Act last December.
A mailer hailing Donald Trump as a “transgender trailblazer” is being sent to Iowa residents by a recently-formed political group It goes on to selectively quote a Politico article by Meridith McGraw about a Mar-a-Lago gala for Log Cabin Republicans, the mailer reads: “But the main attraction … was Trump.
He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.” It then goes on to declare Trump a “Transgender Trailblazer” for allowing a transgender woman to compete in a Miss Universe pageant in Canada.
Trump defended the decision in a 2012 interview with a Fox News personality, but the mailer cites a FoxNews.com article from April 2023 to create the false impression that the Trump quote was recent.
