Senator Ed Markey:

“There’s a reason why the Human Rights Campaign has endorsed me in this race. There’s a reason why the Christopher Street Project, the transgender community, has endorsed me in this race, and it’s because you threw those trans kids under the political bus, and you met with family members after you had made those very hurtful comments, and those families — they were hurt after they left that meeting,” Markey shot back, adding:

They said how hurt they were, and it was only two weeks ago that you finally apologized. But that’s almost two years later. Those families were hurting. They were in pain. And especially if a Democrat from Massachusetts is leading the attack upon them, then that’s why those communities have my back in this race, because I had their back during their toughest time.

Thank you, senator.

Thank you Ed Markey 💜 I don’t live in his state, but I would be proud to have him represent me

And Seth Moulton can jump in a lake for all I care

Markey is an excellent senator. He's just so old... I wish he had retired instead of running again.

That said, Markey still got my vote over the steaming pile of shit that is Moulton.

Didn't Moulton make a run for President in 2020 and never got enough traction to even qualify for the debates?

Trans people are not robots, we are all biological. The term you are looking for is trans women in women’s sport.

Non-binary people are still trans, they are not a right wing dog whistle/slur of “biological male”.

I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but your 20hr old account post history is so full of “Soft” ant-trans rhetoric that what you are is telling.

Buddy, gas and eggs are $5; ain't nobody give a fuck about a minuscule amount of people winning 4th place in a swim meet.

But what if they tied for 5th place? I think that might be a pretty big deal, actually.
