DNC Chair Squirms During MSNBC Interview When Confronted With Party’s Unpopular Stance On Gender


President Donald Trump’s win in November was interpreted as a mandate on multiple levels, such as countering the left’s preoccupation with woke social issues like transgenderism.

Shortly after his inauguration, Trump announced a simple policy that would have seemed too obvious to even mention a generation ago:

Such commonsense rhetoric is resonating with millions of Americans, as evidenced by recent polling:

Even far-left MSNBC acknowledged the reality, and one panelist went as far as to ask the Ken Martin, the new chair of the Democratic National Convention, for a response.

As Breitbart reported, he avoided actually answering the question:

BBC U.S. Special Correspondent and MSNBC Contributor Katty Kay then asked, “Mr. Chairman, I don’t know if it’s that you don’t want to talk about the cultural issues that are in that poll, but 63% of Americans think that it is right that the government policy should be…just have to have two sexes. Do you think U.S. government policy should be that there are just two sexes in the country?”

Martin responded, “It’s not up to me to decide what U.S. policy should be. But what I will tell you is that what people are focused on is their day-to-day lives, the kitchen table issues that impact their families.”

Party leaders might be able to avoid providing a straight answer on MSNBC, but the American people aren’t likely to be distracted so easily:

Fox News reported on the response to Trump’s policy replacing gender ideology with the recognition of just two sexes:

Several states emboldened by President Donald Trump’s executive orders are moving to introduce bills banning transgender medical care for minors, and one legal expert believes it’s a “continuation” of the success other states have achieved in the last several years fighting against the Biden administration.

“You go back to 2020, when Idaho became the first state to pass a save women’s sports law, and in 2021, Arkansas was the first state to protect kids from dangerous gender transition, drugs and surgeries,” Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Matt Sharp told Fox News Digital in an interview. “And since that time, we’ve had over 25 states pass both of those laws, plus other measures to protect women’s privacy and safety and schools or women’s shelters or correctional facilities.”

“So, what we are seeing is truly the continuation of incredible work by state legislatures and others to address the concerns of gender ideology and make sure that women and children in their states are not being harmed by it,” he said.

So far this year, several states have introduced or considered legislation to ban transgender medical procedures for minors. More than two dozen states already have laws in place restricting such procedures.

Alabama recently passed a bill in the Senate aiming to legally define gender based on one’s biological sex, in line with Trump’s “two sexes” declaration. Georgia’s state Senate also passed a bill this week that would cut state funding for transgender surgical treatments, extending to both minors and adults. The bill aims to block state funds for state employee and university health insurance plans, Medicaid, and the state’s prison system.

And here’s a look at the global reaction:
