Earlier, we told you about Speaker of the House Mike Johnson swatting down a gotcha question from the media about Representative-Elect Sarah McBride. McBride is a 'trans woman', which is a lot of words to say 'man', and is currently in the spotlight because Rep. Nancy Mace doesn't want McBride using the women's restrooms.
Some people weren't happy with Johnson's less-than-clear answer on McBride, but hopefully this answer will allay their fears:
SPEAKER JOHNSON: "Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman." pic.twitter.com/jkSobuonXb

This is scientific fact.
And it's an issue on which the vast majority of the country agree.
Hanging out with Trump at UFC for a night and Johnson is already starting to grow some balls.

We hope so.
He speaks the truth here

Yes he does.
What’s insane is that we actually have to explain this to other adults

That is insane.

Pretty much.
This statement would get him arrested in the UK.

Thank goodness this isn't the U.K.
How about we treat WOMEN with dignity by not forcing us to pretend that a guy in a dress is a female?

.@SpeakerJohnson
And force us to share bathrooms/locker rooms with them?
How about our dignity?

Must've been.
Hope he learned.
Someone yelled at Mike Johnson and told him to man up https://t.co/13pcP4jO5P

Biology 101, baby!
Only came back to "clarify" because he was being mercilessly mocked for being weak and spineless.
— John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) November 19, 2024
Even this reply is cowardly. He wasn't asked whether a man can become a woman, he was asked whether Rep. McBride was a man or a woman. Still hasn't answered that one. https://t.co/nAR8tHp0rv
This is an answer.
Let me be clear. Speaker Johnson wouldn’t have said this if Trump wasn’t President-elect. We will take it though. https://t.co/K7A5Kaaqf0

Of course not. But we'll take it.
