That is refreshing and definitely not how I expected that headline to end.

If this pays off for him, I predict an exodus of fear mongering trans haters suddenly dawning the flags and sucking the gock all for those votes
Still however, it’s better than hate

Well, no shit.

It’s really wild to think that the bar for Republicans is so low that someone not actively waging war against minority groups is refreshing by comparison.

Anyone who falls for this needs their heads examined.. Remember when Trump was LGBTQ+ Friendly back in 2016? Remember how long it lasted?
Yeah exactly. I just cannot trust a Republican right now, not until I see REAL change and a REAL fight against fascism.

“But Lawler has also voted to prohibit service members and their families from accessing [gender-affirming care](https://www.advocate.com/health/what-is-gender-affirming-care), to prohibit Pride flags from being displayed on federal property, and to block transgender kids from participating in sports.”
Uh huh.

Lawler is an interesting character. And yes, that is intentional word choice – he’s a camera chaser.
It’s good that he posted this, despite the prodding it took to get him to do it. But he’s also going into a tough reelection fight, and so he’s been doing shit like… been yelling at Jeffries about his refusal to stop being a piece of corpo shit re: Mamdani, while in the same week standing next to Johnson in front of reporters claiming “nobody is covering up for pedophiles”. He’s doing some weird fence-sitting ass-wiggling shit to figure out how his campaign needs to be run to stand a chance.

He’s still an asshole, though.

Sounds like an election cycle news headline grab.

Yeah. Great. Wonderful. Now convince the rest of your party and put it in legislation.

Has he tried telling his Republican colleagues that?

I don’t give a flying fuck what he says he’s a boot licker and that’s all he is.

Declarations mean nothing when he supports everything the Republicans do. Its just time for him to cosplay being moderate now to not get voted out.

Lol, guy is pushing hard to the center because he wants that Gov run. As soon as he’s NY gov, he’ll kowtow towards the admin.
He’s also in a swing district that’s dangerously close to flipping or being redistricting off the map if Hochul decides to go nuclear.
It isn’t that hard to see through the smokescreen, folks.

Breaking news! Conservative says some people they don’t agree with deserve to live their life. More at 10.

His words don’t matter; his actions do. He’s supporting Mike Johnson, who absolutely disagrees with him.
He represents a district Harris won in 2024 and so everything he is doing to get in the news is lame spin to try to save his seat.
The trans community is smart enough to see through the baloney.

Now that is wild to hear from a hard-core Trump republican, its 100% true but didnt expect to hear it from him
He must have really bad internals and is hoping to pull from the other side of the fence?? I can’t believe he would say this without some kind of ulterior motive
eightdx on
Let’s hope his bravery inspires others. The right wing culture war bullshit is literally destroying the country for 99.9999999% of people, whether they feel like they’re winning or not.
It’s always been about distracting away from the very obvious class warfare going on — and seeing as I’m probably on a list now for saying “class warfare”, I feel like the point almost proves itself.
