Remember, the gay marriage case was only a start. If they don\u2019t have federal protection, like color, creed, sex, forget it, you\u2019re going to fight this case-by-case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo did not mention that Newman posted the video as a gesture directed at Greene, only saying, \u201cOn Wednesday, the Democratic Representative Marie Newman, she\u2019s got a transgender daughter, OK, she posted this video of herself hanging a pink and blue transgender pride flag outside her office door. It\u2019s in the interest of what we used to call \u2018Tolerance.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He segued to calling Greene \u201cthe QAnon kook,\u201d a reference to her past promotion of the conspiracy theory, stating, \u201cGreene, right, the QAnon kook, who sits directly across from Newman, is a vocal opponent of the Equality Act. That\u2019s OK. That\u2019s politics. But how do you show that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not mentioning that Newman started the brouhaha herself, Cuomo continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In response to the flag, Greene, makes her own video, posting this. An antagonizing sign that completely demoralizes all people who are non- binary, \u201cThere are TWO genders: MALE &#038; FEMALE \u201cTrust The Science,\u201d which is of course, irony, because she doesn\u2019t believe in any science. She\u2019s a QAnon freak.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He said, \u201cShe also aimed a tweet at Newman\u2019s child. \u2018Your biological son does NOT belong in my daughters\u2019 bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams.\u2019 Now, this speaks to an ignorance of transgender people.\u201d Cuomo did not reference the part of Greene\u2019s tweet in which she stated, \u201cAs mothers, we all love and support our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo opined, \u201cThe last thing a transgender kid wants to do is show off a difference anatomically from any other kid. This has always been a boogeyman, that some grown-up, some man was going to come in, to a girl\u2019s bathroom. It\u2019s always been a boogeyman. The cases aren\u2019t there. And it\u2019s just ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo asked Newman, \u201cBut what did it mean to you to have a Member of Congress act like somebody who you\u2019d have to deal with as a fringe at a Town Hall?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newman answered, \u201cShe is in disagreement with the view, shall we say, but clearly, clearly, she is angry. She\u2019s angry at everybody and everything. So, her kind of modus operandi at all times is to in fact, bully people. Well, you can only let bullies go so long, and you have to speak out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newman acted as if she had not provoked the confrontation, alleging, \u201cAnd so, I was making a statement about seeing the community, seeing LGBTQ folks, embracing them and respecting them. That\u2019s all that was meant. I am not surprised at her behavior. I am surprised that she is a Congressperson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo said, \u201cWell, it\u2019s a good point. Let\u2019s forget about her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newman replied, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo queried, \u201cWhat do you say to the members of her party who are silent in the face of her words and deeds?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, here\u2019s the good news is that several members of the Republican Party did reach out to me privately, and expressed that they were horrified by her behavior, and they were horrified by her general being in Congress, to be honest with you,\u201d Newman answered. \u201cA few actually, spoke out publicly. Adam Kinzinger is among them, and I really appreciated those comments.\u00a0That said, I think that they are in fear of the QAnon kooks because they do spread lies, and they can turn on their own. They\u2019ve demonstrated that. So, it is unfortunate that more didn\u2019t reach out. But some did. And I want them to have credit. And I want them to know I deeply appreciate them reaching out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newman added later, \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be role models in Congress, not just by our character, but our deeds, our actions and what we say. So, it\u2019s very important about what we say. Words matter, but actions really matter, Chris. And that\u2019s why I actually chose to act today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
