Ex-Trump officials use transgender advertisements to target swing states.
In advance of next week’s midterm elections, former Donald Trump administration officials are focusing their radio ad campaigns on transgender kids in swing states.
One ad from America First Legal, a group started by Stephen Miller, who was a top policy adviser in the Trump White House, states that Joe Biden’s administration wants to pave the way for children “to remove breasts and genitals.”
“Not long ago, everyone knew that you’re either born a boy or a girl,” the narrator says.“ Not anymore.”
“The Biden administration is pushing radical gender experiments on children,” the narrator adds. “Tell Joe Biden and left-wing leaders across America, ‘Hands-off our kids.’”
When advocating against marriage equality ten years ago, similar attempts were made to polarize the LGBTQ community and Black and Latino voters, according to Geoff Wetrosky, national campaign director for the Human Rights Campaign.
“This is not a new playbook. It’s just a new chapter and an unfortunate playbook that we think is outdated. And it didn’t work for marriage,” he told Politico.
