Republican PAC Attacks Trump Over Gender-Affirming Care
gender-affirming care for incarcerated individuals, a stance she adopted in 2019 when she was running for the Democratic nomination for president.“Kamala’s for they/them,” a narrator says in one of the ads. “President Trump is for you.”In a newer ad, the Trump campaign zeroes in on one transgender prisoner in custody in California, Shiloh Heavenly Quine, the first inmate in the United States to receive state-financed gender-affirming surgery.The ad, which misgenders Quine as a man, implies she received the surgery as a reward after having “murdered a father of three.”As Harris has previously noted, in a televised interview during which she was attacked by Fox mouthpiece Brett Baier, the Trump administration itself had adopted a similar policy of allowing transgender inmates to access gender-affirming care when such care was deemed “medically necessary.”Harris added that, as president, she would “follow the law” and allow such a policy to continue.The Lincoln Project has now come to Harris’s defense, cutting a new ad that lambastes Trump for his hypocrisy.“Have you seen this ad?” a narrator intones as a brief snapshot of Trump’s attack against Harris is shown.
