State Sen. Megan Hunt, who has a trans son, told her Republican colleague, 'You hate [my son] more than you love your own family. And that’s why you’re here.'
: “If you want to see your grandson graduate from preschool, you should do that,” Hunt said. “Instead, you are here to drag out this session because you won’t come off this bill that hurts my son. You hate him more than you love your own family. And that’s why you’re here.” She continued, “We don’t need you here. We need you to vote ‘no’ or ‘present, not voting’ on 574 [the bill], because there’s nothing else in this body that’s affecting your family.
”“I am not asking you to sit here through late nights to vote on these bills that we’re dragging out. I’m asking you to love your family more than you hate mine,” Hunt said.It’s unclear from local reporting how or if Linehan responded to Hunt publicly after that, and she did not immediately respond to Jezebel’s request for comment. But Hunt’s comments offer an important context: It’s not Democrats and progressives who are derailing Nebraska’s state government by filibustering.
