As someone who has been covering transgender rights for years, let me be clear about something:
When you see capitulation over sports, know that it NEVER stops at sports.
And in fact, Turek illustrated this just yesterday when he embraced a federal ban on funding for all trans care.

Josh Turek in Iowa now takes the strongest anti-trans stance of any Democrat yet.
“Josh opposes taxpayer-funded sex changes, and anyone who says otherwise is lying,” said Hannah Goss, a spokeswoman for the Turek campaign.
This would include Medicaid and adult care.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.
Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.
