In reply to the discussion: Ruben Gallego's leaked texts mocking Democrats' looks & masculinity intensify temperament concerns [View all]choie
(6,501 posts)13. How do you mean?
His stupidity in putting his thoughts in an email is second to the content of the email. His statement on "men being men and women being women" is almost neanderthallic. And put in the context of his horrible votes and views on transgender rights, paints a picture of intolerance and - in my opinion - a Democrat who under the guise of being a party who speaks to the needs of the working class, is actually moving us backwards.

I was wondering since dem men look like women and he is a dem man, does he think he looks like a woman?

I've heard a Dem say something similar. But there's too much shit going on for this to be a major issue
