After a Republican state senator in Michigan accused a Democratic legislator of supporting attempts to “groom” and “sexualise” children in a campaign fundraising email, state Senator Mallory McMorrow took her response to the floor of the state capitol.
“I sat on it for a while wondering, ‘Why me?’ And then I realised – I am the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme,” she said in remarks on 19 April. “You can’t claim that you are targeting marginalised kids in the name of ‘parental rights’ if another parent is standing up to say ‘no’.”
