Cory Booker: We Need to Talk More About Transgender Americans
2019-06-28
[BREITBART] Sen. Cory Spartacus Booker
U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker is a candidate for president in 2020, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes. He is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone...
 argued during the Democrat presidential debate on Wednesday that Americans need to talk more about transgender people.
"Ferociously heterosexual" Cory Booker
"We do not talk enough about trans-Americans, especially African American trans-Americans, and even incredibly high rates of murder right now," he said.

He compared the transgender rights struggles to the civil rights of black Americans, recalling a time when they were lynched in America.

Booker also said that up to 30 percent of LGBT schoolchildren were afraid to go to school.

He then argued that Democrats needed to do more than just support the Equality Act proposed in Congress.

"We need to have a president that will fight to protect LGBTQ Americans every single day from violence," he said.

#23  No Cory, we need to talk about your mental illness and your constant encouragement of mental illness in others.

Cory, you are a wackjob and need to live out your life in a nice padded cell. Because we know you would never avail yourself the discretion of a gentleman were it offered.

#22  fight to protect LGBTQ Americans every single day from violence,

Don't we already have laws for that?

How about we equip all the 'at-risk' folks with sidearms? Or move them outta the Democratically-controlled inner cities? Or clean up the citi ... oh, never mind.

#21  EC, Transylvania should be very nice this time of year, but 'Transsiberian Railway' advisory is to keep your mouth tightly closed due to the high density of the flying masses of mosquitoes and other such vermin this time of year. Maybe goggles would also be prudent.

#20  I don't agree much with Stephen Hawking, never have. He had some good insights, but he should have left it there, where he was at least close to right (maybe). But oh no, he had to spout off on "all the things" because it was expected, and he wanted the invites to the fancy parties. Glad he is finally gone.

JohnQC,
I think you are off by a factor of 10 (too large)

#14  Pandering to such a small sliver of the electrite seems a bit pathetic. As a scoiety talk about transgenders a lot consider their actual numbers.

#2  Transgendered? Gag! A mental disorder. Nature has already chosen one's gender. You don't het to choose.

#1  a president that will fight to protect (black) LGBTQ Americans every single day

He needs a dinge-queen superhero in office ? He's been binge watching 'Black Lightning'.
