Trump Rails Against 'Mutilization' and People Being 'Hatched to Death' in Grim Speech at Evangelical Forum

(TPM) "President Donald Trump painted a terrifying and, at points, somewhat incomprehensible vision of the world in a lengthy speech at the Evangelical Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday afternoon."

"The remarks were littered with malapropisms and hyperbolic threats as Trump responded to a string of progressive electoral wins in the past week by describing Democrats as dangerous and godless 'Communists.' "

"Early on in the speech, which stretched to nearly an hour, Trump touted his administration’s efforts to push back on what he described as 'transgender insanity' and 'radical gender ideology' from the left. He then launched into his own version of the many attacks that Republicans have fired at Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico that have sought to cast his support for the LGBT community as an exaggerated and radical position."

"As Trump took on Talarico, his efforts to describe the largely non-existent GOP nightmare of children getting gender reassignment surgery stumbled through a misspoken version of the term 'mutilation'...'We have a man running in Texas who thinks there are six genders,' Trump said, adding, 'Can you believe it? Six genders? And we officially banned the chemical and surgical mutilization of our children.' "

A ridiculous lie – both Hitlerian and typically fascist.

"AND republikan."

This from my memory:
"Joe McCarthy hated Commies,
He hunted them all his life,
The ONLY one he didn't catch
Was MARRIED to his wife!"
