My nephew in particular totally went Trump after the issue.

Actually, a CNN reporter did a story that found the damaging clip of Kamala talking about the trans prison issue, and my heart sank because I knew this would be cannon fodder for Trump and sycophants.

The sad is the Dems barely talked about trans issues, but it doesn’t matter the right wing was going to tie that albatross around our necks because we didn’t disavow them.
