Because every single time we hear the incoming administration or Republicans in Congress talk about any vulnerable group in this country, we have to be clear that it is an attempt to distract.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">McBride added: \u201cEvery single time we hear them say the word \u2018trans\u2019, look at what they\u2019re doing with their right hand. Look at what they\u2019re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing social security and Medicare. Look at what they\u2019re doing, undermining workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">McBride\u2019s remarks come in response to Republican House speaker Mike Johnson last week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/20\/sarah-mcbride-trans-bathroom-ban\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">banning<\/a> trans people from using single-sex bathrooms on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity. This follows a bill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/19\/sarah-mcbride-congress-bathroom-bill-transgender\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">introduced<\/a> by South Carolina Republican representative Nancy Mace, who sought similar bathroom restrictions for all trans people using the Capitol, including congressional members, officers and employees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"33eee0ff-9b9f-4ed6-b335-3cbc450a322b\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:5,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;AOC calls Republican Capitol bathroom ban targeting Sarah McBride \u2018disgusting\u2019&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;33eee0ff-9b9f-4ed6-b335-3cbc450a322b&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/21\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-defends-trans-congresswoman-sarah-mcbride-trans-congresswoman&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Last Tuesday, Johnson told reporters: \u201cA man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman. That said, I also believe that\u2019s what [Bible] scripture teaches \u2026 but I also believe that we should treat everybody with dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">McBride was asked by CBS whether she believes she is being treated with dignity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">McBride said: \u201cI didn\u2019t run for the United States House of Representatives to talk about what bathroom I use. I didn\u2019t run to talk about myself. I ran to deliver for Delawareans. While Republicans in Congress seem focused on bathrooms and trans people, and specifically me, I\u2019m focused on rolling up my sleeves, beginning the hard work of delivering for Delawareans on the issues that I know keep them up at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She added: \u201cEvery bit of time and energy that has been used to divert the attention of the federal government to go after trans people is time and energy that is not focused upon addressing the cost of living for our constituents, and we have to be clear that there is a real cost to the American worker every time they focus on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-10\" class=\"dcr-jzxpee\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-av5vqf\">\n<p class=\"dcr-1xjndtj\">Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignup\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;newsletterId&quot;:&quot;today-us&quot;,&quot;successDescription&quot;:&quot;Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning&quot;}\"\/><span class=\"dcr-1eusqlu\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
