White House press secretary Jen Psaki burst into tears talking about how “cruel” it is that Republicans don’t want to let people mutilate children in the name of “gender affirmation.” And yet, she couldn’t explain why it was cruel. The apparent reason is that Democrats think emotions are more important than anything else.

“The political games and harsh and cruel attempts at laws, or laws that we’re seeing in some states like Florida, that is not a reflection of the country moving to oppose LGBTQ+ communities,” Psaki said. “That is not what we see in data.”
