Congressional Democrats continued to show the country they remain out of touch with reality on Tuesday as multiple members of the political party donned pink attire while attending the joint address by President Donald Trump. The color and outfit selection were chosen to protest…well, no one really quite knows. It’s the latest circus act for a cadre of lost politicians desperately clinging to the performative hysteria and divisive political playbook of yesteryear. 

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM) claimed that pink was the color “of protest, power, and persistence.” But after this week’s legislative decision and voting by members of the world’s oldest political party, it should clearly be considered as the color favored by the people who force women to compete against men in sports. Such is the case after every Democrat in the Senate voted against the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” legislation that would have protected female athletes from competing against males who decided to claim they were females.

No man can ever change into a woman, of course. That’s impossible. This is verifiable science, public knowledge, and indisputable fact. But one wouldn’t know it based on the political rhetoric and actions of Democrats. It’s disgraceful pandering that reveals the true colors of the left-wing party regarding their commitment to championing the rights of women. Furthermore, not one Democratic senator voted to protect girls and women from being denied safe and fair athletics. 

Why? 

Because Democrats don’t really care about women. They just say they do for political purposes. Democrats aren’t really interested in helping and empowering women. They just say such things with the hopes of trying to get their votes every election. Democrats don’t have legitimate concerns about the well-being of women.

Furthermore, in refusing to support the legislation, Democrats are actively going against the will and desires of the American people. They regularly champion themselves as the defenders of everyday Americans. However, when it comes to boys claiming they are girls and competing in female athletics, the overwhelming majority of the country has regularly shown they do not support this. A recent Pew Research poll found that 66% of people favor laws and policies that require boys pretending to be girls “to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth.”

“This is the third time that I’ve had a vote on this bill,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who introduced the legislation with 39 other senators. “The other two times have failed because we have had almost zero Democrats help to support women and girls in sports.”

Under no circumstance could it legitimately be argued that anyone who refused to vote for the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” is a friend or ally to women. Actions speak louder than words, and Democrat senators spoke as loudly as possible on Monday with their decision to genuflect to the transgender lobby instead of doing the right thing and ensuring female athletes are not denied equal opportunities for competition and protected from harm. 

FOUR FEISTY MOMENTS FROM TRUMP’S ADDRESS TO CONGRESS

It cannot be stressed enough as to how significant this revelation was. Democrats purposely decided to go against protecting females from being physically injured in athletic competitions against males who are bigger, stronger, and faster. Forget adhering to political agendas or social and cultural issues. This is also a safety issue and it’s one that Democrats deliberately chose to ignore due to a toxic and misguided allegiance to the transgender community. 

Democrats wore pink on Tuesday night to send a message. However, a look back at their actions this week will show it’s not the kind of message the rest of the nation wants to hear. Democrats have chosen their sides and picked their colors. But more importantly, politicians who claimed they were the most prominent defenders and supporters of women decided to prioritize protecting men instead.
