    In response, McBride said, “Thank you, Madam Chair,” before beginning her remarks. She was soon cut off by the subcommittee’s ranking member Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., who asked Self to repeat his introduction. He then called McBride “mister” again.

    “Mr. Chairman, you are out of order,” Keating shot back. “Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I’ve come to know you a little bit. But this is not decent.”

    Though Self said it was time to continue the hearing, Keating replied, “You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then adjourned the hearing.

    Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,” referring to President Donald Trump executive order in January.

    McBride later wrote on X that “No matter how I’m treated by some colleagues, nothing diminishes my awe and gratitude at getting to represent Delaware in Congress.”

    Fascists fashing in addition to being contemptible fuckwits.

      You know if these people think the president has the ability to just declare laws then why don’t they just resign? What’s the purpose of a congressman? If he’s just surrendered all the rights and privileges of his office then why does he need to fill his office? Just seems like he’s a burden on the taxpayers at this point. Seems like that’s an inefficiency that could be cut Musk.
