Lone Star Senator Ted Cruz stopped by Hannity Tuesday night to react to a recent news story about a radical judge who ruled it would be unconstitutional for an Indiana prison to deny a transgender inmate sex reassignment surgery following the inmate’s lawsuit against the facility.
The inmate was found guilty of strangling an 11-month-old baby.
From Fox News:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Correctionslast year on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellionè, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001.
Indiana law, however, prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.”
The surgery for Richardson, who is serving out a 55-year prison sentence for reckless homicide, “is a medical necessity,” according to the ACLU lawsuit.
Judge Richard Young agreed with the ACLU’s claims and ruled in favor of Cordellioné last week.
“Specifically, Ms. Cordellioné has shown that her gender dysphoria is a serious medical need, and that, despite other treatments Defendant has provided her to treat her gender dysphoria, she requires gender-affirming surgery to prevent a risk of serious bodily and psychological harm,” the ruling states.
These are the kinds of rulings and policy decisions Kamala Harris is on record as supporting; “This is so beyond radical, extreme, insane, and dangerous,” Hannity said. Senator Cruz agreed.
“Unfortunately the Democrat Party has gone off the rails. This decision by this federal judge, who was a Bill Clinton nominee, is insane The idea that a murderer — a guy that murdered a baby — now the taxpayers of Indiana have to pay for him. He’s decided that he’s a girl, so they have to pay for a surgery to change his body,” Cruz said.
“It’s where this extreme party is,” Cruz adds.
