Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said on Sunday that those who do not believe in supporting the Democrats’ radical transgender agenda are “a**hole[s].”
Fetterman made the remarks when pressed during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” about political ads from the Trump campaign about the issue.
“If your political capital comes from picking on trans kids or gay kids or anything like that, that’s — you’re just bankrupt throughout all of this,” Fetterman said.
“My version of being a being a man is, it’s like, hey, I like ribeyes, I like Motorhead, and I’m never going to pick on trans kids and gay kids or things,” he continued. “And it’s just sad that the other side choose to kind of pick on members of those community.”
Fetterman’s remarks come as the Trump campaign has highlighted on the campaign trail the damage that men pretending to be women have done by competing in girl’s sports.
The campaign has also highlighted Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for using taxpayer money to give free sex change operations to illegal aliens who are incarcerated.
“And, again, it’s just — it’s just a warped version of — it doesn’t make you tough,” he said. “It doesn’t make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids.”
Fetterman added, “It just makes you an a**hole.”
Bash pressed him again, noting that the ad is appealing to suburban parents and minority men.
Fetterman claimed that it was a sign of “their desperation throughout this entire campaign.”
