I’m proud to be an original cosponsor designating Nov. 20th as Transgender Day of Remembrance & stands against violence. We won’t forget you.
Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
