Guys, the Democrats are toast.
The only sane Democrat is Rahm Emmanuel, former Obama mastermind and Chicago political machine operative??
Here's a list of some of the Democrats Axios reached out to for this story who all declined to answer or wouldn't respond:
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker
AOC
Kamala Harris
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
Spartacus, Cory Booker
Connecticut's Chris Murphy
Ro Khanna
Gavin Newsom
Newsom's non-answer to Ben Shapiro earlier this month is what prompted the inquiry.
Here are the Dems who answered:
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
A spokesperson for Gov. Shapiro pointed us to his previous remarks to The Atlantic, in which he said local scholastic sports officials, not politicians, should make decisions about transgender athletes.
But the governor said his personal view is different, and that trans youths don't "deserve an unfair advantage on the playing field." His spokesperson also noted Shapiro's recent legal action against the Trump administration over its efforts to stop gender-transition care for children.
Former South Bend mayor, and DoT director, Gay Mayor Pete.
A Buttigieg spokesperson referred us to an NPR interview in which he was asked to respond to the conversation between Emanuel and Kelly.
Buttigieg called for "compassion" and questioned "past orthodoxies in my party ... around sports." He said decisions about trans athletes should be made by sports leagues. His spokesperson didn't address the other questions.
Rahm Emannuel.
Emanuel said his positions hadn't changed since he was interviewed recently by conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, who asked whether 'boys should be able to play in girls' sports' and 'can a man become a woman?'
Emanuel said 'no' to both. He also said parents should make decisions about whether transgender minors are able to access hormones.
20 Democrats, 19 who won't say "men can't be women."
And they all want to be president.
