Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 10, 2025
this amendment is about one thing and one thing only: restoring biological truth, restoring biological reality, and restoring science. For too long, my colleagues across the aisle have pushed the fiction which says that your gender is whatever you say it is and that you can change your mind at any time. You can be thinking. Thinking is like a gender option to some of these morons. Under 4 long years of the Biden administration, they have enshrined this fiction in every facet of our government and demanded that we all play along with the lie that men can be women, women can be men, and people can be both, neither, either, other, or whatever. They could be a eunuch. It is so ridiculous. Perhaps they even share the delusion that people can sexually identify as an attack helicopter because, apparently, that is also an option for some of these maniacs. My amendment recognizes a simple fact: There are two genders. They are designated at birth, and they cannot be changed. This is basic biology, Biology 101. It is not about feelings. It is not about ideology. It is not about politics. It is not about trying to make half of 1 percent of the population happy for the rest of us. Under this amendment, the Secretary of War would be prohibited from collecting information for a form or survey related to gender identity.

I’m never gonna shut the door. I love the people of South Carolina. You only live once and, you know, if the people of South Carolina would like me to serve in that capacity, I’ll certainly take a look at it.
