“You mentioned George Washington, who is Martha Washington?”

“His wife?”

“How could that be mentioned on your bill in the classroom?”

“For me, that’s not a sexual orientation.”

“Really? So it’s just certain sexual orientations that you want to ban from the induction class.”

Although the recount didn’t tweet it, the exchange found its way onto Twitter – with ASL.

“Lady” is an amazing word.
A compliment when used to describe someone, an expression of irritation, impatience, contempt when used to address someone.

Hats off to the guy who’s a Republican who calls bullshit when he sees it.

The best back and forth between a lawmaker I’ve seen in a long time. He identified the prejudice and enforced morality that the bill introduced. No screaming, forcing points… just guided them through a logical disassembly of the bill
