President Biden and a correspondent for the PBS NewsHour were torched Thursday over a loaded question about states banning transgender surgeries for children.
PBS NewsHour correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez questioned President Biden at a joint presser with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Biden replied by first asking to connect with the family then saying he was proud to end a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military and sign the Respect for Marriage Act."But our fight is far, far from over because we have some hysterical and, I would argue, prejudiced people who are engaged in all that you see going on around the country. It's an appeal to fear, and it's an appeal that is totally, thoroughly unjustified, and ugly," he continued.
Biden went on to say that"extreme officials are pushing hateful bills targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors." New Hampshire state Senate staffer Grant Bosse added that the reporter was"Begging the question, if you will." Adding, the late slapstick comedian Chris Farley had"sharper inquiries" than Barrón-López.
