In light of today's shooting in Minneapolis, it's time to revisit the Democratic Party's rhetoric on the trans community, as the alleged shooter has been identified as Robert Westman, who changed his name to 'Robin' in 2019 because he's trans.

That's what Democrats do best: virtue signal. And yes, it costs lives.

But who is safe from the transgender community? https://t.co/MuA6TcrP5K

Excellent question.

Here’s part of the problem…

Yes, it is.
