Republican adjourns hearing after exchange over Sarah McBride misgendering
Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, recognized McBride, D-Del., to speak and misgendered her in the process. McBride is the first openly trans member of Congress.
A House hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after an exchange between a Republican and a Democratic committee member over the GOP chair’s misgendering Rep. Sarah McBride.
At the hearing hosted by the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Europe, Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, recognized McBride, D-Del., to speak and misgendered her in the process. McBride is the first openly trans member of Congress.
“I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.”
Without missing a beat, McBride responded by thanking Self and referring to him as “madam chair.”
