Democrat Bill Keating (D-MA) erupted during a House hearing on Tuesday after Republican Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) properly identified transgender Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE).
The episode took place during the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the European Subcommittee's hearing, and is the latest incident in which Republican lawmakers reject McBride's self-proclaimed female identity. McBride was elected to be a member of the first transgender identification council in November 2024.
The hearing was ultimately postponed after Keating responded to McBride's “misgender” by screaming and screaming fists. The McBride remained quiet during the exchange.
“I now recognize McBride, the Delaware representative,” Self said at the hearing. Title: “Arms Control, International Security, and US Support for Europe”: State Department Review and Reform. ”
“Can you repeat the introduction?” Keating replied.
“We set standards on the floors of our home…” The self replied.
“What is that standard? Do you repeat what you just said when you introduced a representative who was officially elected from the United States?! Please?” Keating said.
“I will. Mr. McBride, the Delaware representative,” has doubled himself.
“Mr. Speaker, do you have no good sense? I've come to know you, but this is not decent,” Keating continued, angering.
“We will continue this hearing –” the self began to say.
“You will not continue doing it with me unless you introduce the right elected representatives to the right way,” cried Keating.
“This hearing has been postponed,” and accordingly self-ordered.
Following the exchange, the self posted a statement tripled its commitment to biological reality to X.
“Acknowledging two genders, male and female, is a US policy,” Self said.
Certainly, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on the first day of his second term Called “We defend women from gender ideological extremism and restore biological truth to the federal government.” The order states that “recognizing two genders, male and female, is a US policy,” and that “these genders have not changed and are based on a fundamental and incontroversial reality.”
McBride previously made headlines after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) proposed measures to prevent transgender-identifying men from using women's toilets at the Capitol.
In February, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) also It was introduced McBride is “Mr. McBride, a gentleman from Delaware.”
