‘Who Would Jesus Exclude?’: Rubio Mocked for Kicking Off Pride Month With Claim About Biden’s ‘Radical’ LGBTQ Policies
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) kicked off LGBTQ Pride month Wednesday morning claiming President Joe Biden has a “radical” LGBTQ policy and will cut off federal funding to schools that refuse to follow it.“Biden will be cutting off Pell Grants,school lunches & billions of other federal education dollars to any school or college that refuses to follow his new & radical transgender & LGBT policies,” Sen.
Rubio tweeted, apparently unaware the “T” in LGBT stands for transgender.The executive branch has the constitutional responsibility to enforce federal laws, including civil rights laws, and the authority to set and enforce policy and tie it to federal funds.Senator Rubio offered nothing to support his claim.
His press secretary was unavailable and did not immediately return a phone call to NCRM.Rubio might be referring to a March 31 press release from U.S.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, who traveled to Rubio’s home state of Florida to observe the annual Transgender Day of Visibility.“On Transgender Day of Visibility and every day, the Biden-Harris administration is proud of our nation’s transgender students and educators,” said Secretary Cardona in the press release. “Transgender students should have every opportunity to thrive in school.
