Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
In the interest of public political discourse, I recorded the statement Colin Allred (not my state representative but his district covers parts of my home town) made to Spectrum News, as linked by Erin In The Morning; I'll try to transcribe it in following posts
...Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Host: The Cruz campaign has put out a nearly $7 million dollar ad buy as it relates to your stances on transgender participation in sports; I do just want to just ask you to clarify
Allred: yeah, yeah, well, let's be honest here. The United States Senator, who is representing 30 million people …
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Allred (cont): … who's running such a small, narrow, campaign about demagoguing certain folks, to try to get back into the United States Senate. That's what we're really talking about.
What I've supported is basic protections for folks on the basis of their sexual identity …
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Allred (Cont): … or who they love, or how they identify, and trying to make sure they're not discriminated against. That's what I support. And I think that's pretty basic - and I think that's also who we are as Texans. I'm a 4th generation Texan, and in the Texas I believe in, and that I grew up in,
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Allred (Cont): … we mostly want to leave folks alone. And that's all we're trying to do, is extend the same protections that exist for race, for national origin, for gender, to, uh, on the basis of sexual identity, and who you love and how you identify, and so that's what we're trying to do …
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Allred (Cont) … with the Equality act, and that's what they're attacking; So let's let Ted Cruz defend why he thinks that you should be discriminated against if you're an LGBTQ+ Texan. Let's hear from him on that. Because I don't think that's very defensible.
(End of statement)
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Colin Allred needs a better, harder working PR lead; that should have been a transcript posted on his campaign website
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Also, if I were Colin Allred's PR team, there is no way in heck that his tagline of "Fighting Extremists on Both Sides/Parties" would have ever survived a first roundtable.
He opened himself up to hijack & infovoid attacks by claiming there are extremist Democratic politicians
Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
When the Republicans have been calling transgender rights & all LGBTQ rights "extremist" and then he says he's fighting extremists and reaching across the aisle — what the heck are we supposed to think
