Pelosi lays blame on MAGA Republicans for ‘undermining the safety’ of trans people after deadly Colorado gay nightclub shooting.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi marked Transgender Remembrance Day by tearing into MAGA Republicans and implicating them in the Colorado LBGTQ night club shooting that left five dead overnight.
Five people died when a 22-year-old opened fire at Club Q in Colorado Springs Saturday night, and 18 others were injured.
‘As our nation marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, the House Democratic Caucus mourns the countless Americans stolen away by the scourge of transphobic violence, a crisis that continues to disproportionately harm trans people of color,’ Pelosi said in a statement.
Pelosi, who is stepping down from Democratic leadership in January, went on: ‘That fight remains more urgent than ever, as right-wing extremists target transgender Americans’ most fundamental rights and freedoms. Whether spouting dangerous rhetoric from cable news desks or openly bullying schoolchildren from the halls of power, MAGA Republicans are cruelly undermining the safety and well-being of our transgender community.’
