Lies, Lies, And More Lies

We have seen it time, time and again with the Republicans, they lie.

This morning I wrote about Maine being attacked by Trump over trans athletes, well now we have another lying Republican...
Sen. Tommy Tuberville's office did not return The Advocate's request about evidence supporting these claims.

Over the weekend, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican, appeared on Fox News and made a baseless, inflammatory claim about transgender people in sports — this time suggesting that entire teams of men are deciding to transition to compete in women’s athletics.

That's not happening.

The former Auburn football coach, who should know a thing or two about student-athlete eligibility, offered zero evidence during his appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Barteromo. “We have entire men’s teams across this country now that are turning trans,” Tuberville, 70, said. “Women’s teams, they’re turning trans.”
Of course he offered no evidence because it is all a lie!
His remarks came amid a broader attack on Democrats, LGBTQ+ people, and youth in sports.

“The Democrats know that transgender boys in women’s sports is wrong, but they can’t abandon them because the rest of the group would probably say, ‘Hey, if you’re not going to stand with us, we’re out of here for you Democrats,’” Tuberville said. “And so it’s wrong. Everybody knows it’s wrong. We’re going to ruin women’s sports. It’s a disaster.”
He is playing on the fears of his evangelical Christian base!
"It's dead wrong," the Republican senator said.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) is taking aim at the “woke globalists” who he claims are “pushing kids” to become transgender athletes in women’s sports.

“We have entire men’s teams across this country now that are turning trans — women’s teams — they’re turning trans,” Tuberville told guest host Jackie DeAngelis while appearing on Sunday’s episode of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

He continued, “That’s going to be a situation where it’s going to pick up speed because these woke globalists are pushing these kids to say, ‘if you can’t compete in men’s sports, let’s just transition and say you’re a woman and participate in women’s sports.’”

Tuberville declared the situation “dead wrong,” adding, “We gotta stand up against it, but the Democrats are all in.”

Tuberville’s comments came after the Republican senator’s measure to preserve Title IX protections for female athletes by restricting transgender students from playing on women’s sports teams failed to garner the votes it needed to break a filibuster last month.
Them lying Republicans will say anything for their right-wing base... remember during the elections and the immigrants eating dogs and cats! No lie is outrageous enough!

I leave you with the John Oliver show on trans rights where he shows up all the Republican lies about trans athletes...
