Beto O'Rourke: Trans women of color can 'be killed with complete impunity' in US

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke claimed during a high-energy stump speech in Iowa that he would be afraid to be a "trans woman of color, who could be killed with complete impunity in this country right now, with no one to follow up or investigate."

O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, has been an outspoken advocate of transgender rights since the beginning of his campaign and featured a story on his official Facebook that highlighted the deaths of four trans women in Texas, all of which were being actively investigated. Police in the report vowed to solve the cases and have also asked the FBI to assist them in the investigation.

Poor Irish Bob.  He just can't seem to find a cause de jure that he can stick with and ride to the front of the clown wagon.

This is an area of sensitivity for Robert Francis- it takes him back to his dress-wearing days.

He's talking about cases that are being investigated, not being investigated??   :shrug:

I wonder how many votes he'll garner by standing up for trannies with lies about their deaths?

Seems kinda like a losing cause for Bobby.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Given the curious identity-fixated state of the Democrat Party, one can readily understand how "trans women of color" might be considered as a natural constituency group by an aspiring Democrat Presidential candidate.

But one reasonably wonders: of what electoral value is a constituency whose members could easily fit inside a small diner?

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Maybe he is looking beyond the election to expand his pool of potential dates/mates?

Maybe he is getting to write more fantasy stories about his running over children with a car and has decided to switch up the victims, or he is planning his next DUI event.
