A transgender Democrat lawmaker who unleashed a diatribe of hate speech on Republicans in his Montana state House, expressing hope they would see “blood on their hands” when they pray, has been banned from the body for the remainder of this legislative session.

The vote barring Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a Democrat, was 68-32.

He originally had been barred from speaking for his attack on Republicans in the Republican-majority body.

WND reported when the fight erupted that the lawmakers were considering restricting body-mutilating surgeries on children – a key component of the transgender ideology that the Joe Biden administration is promoting all across America.

Zephyr, a man dressing as a woman, originally was ordered silenced when he verbally assaulted GOP members. He was told he would be allowed to participate again following an apology to members, which he has refused to provide.

The Gateway Pundit reported, “The lawmaker had claimed that Republicans would have ‘blood on their hands’ if they supported a bill to ban sex change surgeries and potentially-sterilizing hormone treatments for minors.”

Zephyr said, “This body should be ashamed. If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments, I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”

The Freedom Caucus said his comments were inappropriate and called for a censure for “attempting to shame the Montana legislative body and by using inappropriate and uncalled-for language.”

Later, Zephyr’s supporters then staged what was described as an “insurrection” in the state House, disrupting the democratic process there.

A report in the Daily Mail explained Zephyr was banned from the House floor, anteroom and gallery for the rest of this legislative session.

During the vote, he was allowed to argue on his own behalf, and claimed he was defending his “community” from “harms.” He claimed that a trans individual had tried to commit suicide while watching one of the legislative sessions considering the bills that would protect children from chemical and surgical treatments, part of the transgender ideology, that would permanently mutilate their bodies.

He claimed, “I have had friends who have taken their lives because of these bills. I have fielded calls from families in Montana, including one family whose trans teenager attempted to take her life while watching a hearing on one of the anti-trans bills.”

Zephyr has described her supporters’ decision to interrupt the legislature and block the democratic process of lawmaking as “defending democracy.”
