In this clip from “Tarabuster with Tara Devlin” (warning: Salty Language), Tara eviscerates Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace and the Republican Party as a whole for their childish, immature, cruel, divisive and totally “on brand” attempt to bully Sarah McBride - the first trans women in Congress.
The incident is emblematic to just how far Republicans have dragged our country and another example of the fact that they degrade everything they touch.
In case you missed it, here’s a summary of the incident:
Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, is not permitted to use the women’s bathrooms after Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a ban on transgender people using single-sex bathrooms - because, you know… if Americans can’t have a democracy, a seat at the table, fair tax codes, health care, living wages and retirement security, Republicans how we’ll settle for hating less than 1% of the population. So, here goes…
While visiting the ladies' room, Lauren Boebert thought she spotted Rep. McBride. True to the cowardly nature of today’s Republican Party, whose collective emotional intelligence seems perpetually stuck in adolescence, Boebert—renowned for disrupting a family-friendly performance of "Beetlejuice" with her dancing, vaping, and (cough) inappropriate behavior—yelled at the undoubtedly confused women just trying to relieve themselves, "You shouldn't be here!"
As witnessed by Bloomberg reporter Billy House, Boebert stormed out of the bathroom, complaining to a security guard about a "guy" in the bathroom. This strange charge was also likely met with looks of confusion from the guard—a reaction, I dare say, Boebert must get a lot when encountering non-cultists.
In a move typical of the Republican “brand” of projecting their perpetual outrage of being “oppressed” by the very existence of the targeted minority group du jour, she then went to fetch fellow hate-monger Nancy Mace. Confident, she could count on Mace to join her in the abuse of a fellow lawmaker.
Together, they donned their self-appointed “pee-pee patrol” personas, salivated at the thought of fundraising off their fanaticism, and stormed into the restroom, only to leave moments later, disappointed their intended target wasn’t there.
The Deplorable Duo quickly realized it was a case of mistaken identity. Sarah McBride, the woman they were itchin’ to target simply for being born trans, was likely off doing her job representing her constituents—a duty that is anathema to today’s MAGAt GOP, whose entire existence revolves around defending the indefensible convicted felon con man who ran for president to escape the consequences of his life of crime.
This incident may seem minor, but it’s another illustration of Republican cruelty, divisiveness, lack of responsibility and their degradation of America. It exemplifies the reality that Republicans are devoid of the basic decency and maturity to function in a free, diverse, democratic society. Don’t we deserve better?
You be the judge as Tara unpacks it in true, unapologetically liberal, Tarabuster fashion.
