Election Day is only weeks away.
A revolt by Democrat candidates defecting from the Kamala Harris campaign’s strategy was the last thing handlers could afford.
But a gang of candidates in Kamala Harris’ own party just turned on her over this outrageous plan for U.S. Servicemen.
Democrat insanity hurting Harris
Kamala Harris has been copying the Biden campaign strategy of trying to appear to be a political moderate.
She knows that the fringe ideas the radical Left has introduced over the past several years don’t resonate well with American voters.
Middle America by and large rejects the modern transgender movement.
The majority of Americans aren’t on board with things like genital mutilation for minors, allowing men in women’s bathrooms, and men competing in women’s sports.
And most Veterans and American’s with common sense can plainly see that transgenderism is incompatible with military service.
But now a majority of House Democrats have signed a letter that proves Harris and her party are completely tied to the hip of radical gender ideology.
Democrats woke military
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a must-pass bill that funds the U.S. military.
Republicans have introduced provisions to the act that would bar Defense Department funds from going to transgender surgeries and drag shows.
It would also ban official use of “Pride” flags and remove books containing graphic sexual material and transgender propaganda from DOD-owned K-12 school libraries.
The letter, signed by 162 of the 212 House Democrats, claims that these provisions would exacerbate the recruitment crisis.
“As our nation faces recruitment and retention challenges, attacking transgender people—who are more likely to serve in the U.S. military than cisgender people—is a grave mistake,” the Democrats wrote. “If service members are concerned for their health care, their right to exist, or the well-being of their children and loved ones, they cannot focus on their jobs, thereby weakening military readiness and retention rates.” It reads.
Of course, many of these same Democrats supported the Biden-Harris vaccine mandate that was the cause of tens of thousands of service members being discharged.
The Obama and Biden policies of allowing transgenders into the military were entirely based on ideological politics rather than the needs of the military.
Transgenders represent less than 1% of the population, and excluding them from the military will have little impact on recruitment.
By necessity, the military never has been and cannot be an “equal opportunity employer.”
It must discriminate based on age and health to be able to function properly, and it is no different to do the same for the transgender issue.
The fact is that allowing transgenders in the military does nothing but cause problems.
American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund transgender surgeries for members that are often unable to deploy because of them.
Transgenders also have a suicide rate that exceeds that of people diagnosed with mental disorders that bar them from military service.
Transgenderism in the military is viewed as a liability by most Americans, and there are many things that can be done to deal with the recruitment crisis that don’t involve turning America’s fighting force into a woke social experiment.
