Controversial Georgia Congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked a colleague who has a transgender daughter following the House debate over the Equality Act, which would extend federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ people.
Greene attempted to block the bill on the floor with a motion to adjourn. She later tweeted that she did so “to give every Member of Congress time to rethink destroying #WomensRights and #WomensSports and #ReligiousFreedom before voting for the #EqualityAct!”
