Trans-identifying lawmaker Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), a biological male, faced significant backlash on Thursday after he claimed that the Republican Party’s focus on “culture war” issues had become “bizarre.”

“We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection,” McBride began, waving aside criticism of Democrats’ behavior both during and since President Donald Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress.

“I appear to live rent-free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues,” McBride continued. “I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me thinking about how to lower the costs for American families. … They are obsessed with culture war issues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”

Democrats had four years under Biden – two with full control of Congress — to “lower the costs for American families,” but failed to do so, instead overseeing some of the highest inflation in decades.

But the consensus on X was that McBride was not really in a position to make that judgment call.

“‘The American people deserve serious elected officials,’ says the man who believes he’s a woman lol,” former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines posted.

“Men pretending they’re women and demanding that everyone go along with it is weird and bizarre,” added The Heritage Foundation.

“I don’t know I kinda think it’s weirder and more bizarre for a man to claim that men can become women and then put on ladyface and demand everyone participate in an obvious delusion,” The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson posted.

The Trump War Room account posted a simple, “Bruh.”

“This person is not in a position to tell us what is ‘weird and bizarre,’” Fox News host Lawrence Jones said.
