Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. George Santos Photo: Screenshot
On possibly one of his last days in Congress, out Rep. George Santos (R-NY) decided to pose next to the extremely anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) famous transphobic sign and post a video to social media about it.
“Hey boys and girls, trust the science. Two genders!” Santos said, standing next to the sign.
Don’t put yourself next to a giant sign if you’re this man. The internet is so cruel, and would be a shame if they used his video as a meme. ☹️ https://t.co/yZ1EMIeFu5
given his track record, this means there are untold fathoms of genders yet to even be identified. truly chilling to contemplate https://t.co/RHwlXc4vmH
The former drag queen George Santos really thinks that Republicans might rescue him from expulsion if he leans into their transphobia. 🤦🏾♂️ https://t.co/NDlpjWg8K4
Imagine going back in time just a decade ago and telling people that the most open and flamboyantly gay man ever elected to Congress will be a Republican. https://t.co/UFN2v99ZHx
