MSNBC host Jen Psaki claimed during an interview on Sunday that the issue of men pretending to be women playing in sports against girls was not an “issue” while later admitting that it does happen and claiming that there is no “threat to safety or fairness.”
Psaki made the remarks during the closing segment on “Inside with Jen Psaki” while talking about the post-election “soul searching” that Democrats are doing.
“What I worry about is that in the course of all that soul searching, some Democrats might reach the wrong sweeping conclusions,” she said. “And there are a lot of issues that fall into that bucket, but one in particular that stuck out to me is transgender rights.”
“Republicans spent hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-trans ads this election cycle, including one that showed Vice President Harris talking about government funding for gender reaffirming care for prisoners and detainees,” she continued. “If that sounds like a particularly obscure issue, it is, because it applies to a tiny group of people.”
She claimed that conservatives falsely portrayed the issue of men playing in girls’ sports was “a crisis.”
“Now these ads created this perception that the issues of trans kids playing sports was dominating schools across the country, which is completely false,” she claimed.
“Look, reflection is good, but if that were actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate,” she claimed. “But there are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports. And when we see those examples, there isn’t evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”
