Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
You want people to vote for the "lesser evil" instead of the transphobes at Republican Inc. And that lesser evil is... checks notes The transphobes at Democrats Inc. Seems like a false choice to me. Especially when the person were talking about is in support of a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care.
You want them to vote for the same "Democrat" who is a former registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Who explicitly campaigns on his willingness to work with Republicans and even with President Trump. Who calls himself a "common-sense moderate" and "common-sense prairie populist". · The same "Democrat" that has represented a Republican-leaning district in Iowa since 2022. Who is described as "one of Iowa’s most bipartisan" legislators. And in one of his campaign ads reportedly highlights that he has "700 votes" working with Republicans.
