Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday refused to say whether newly elected Congressman Tim “Sarah” McBride is a man or a woman.

Delaware state senator Sarah McBride, a biological male who has since ‘transitioned’ to a woman, became the first transgender elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after winning Delaware’s only House seat.

“Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities,” McBride said earlier this month.

“While at this moment in America’s history, hope sometimes feels hard to come by, we must never forget that we are the beneficiaries of seemingly impossible change,” added McBride.

Rep. Mace introduced a resolution to keep transgenders like McBride out of women’s restrooms at the US Capitol.

GOP Reps. Greene and Mace defended the new House resolution banning trans ‘women’ from Capitol bathrooms.

A reporter tried to get Speaker Johnson with a ‘gotcha’ question about ‘Sarah’ McBride during Tuesday’s presser.

“Is freshman-elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?” a reporter asked Johnson.

“Look, I’m not going to get into this…We treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will. I’m not going to engage is silly debates about this. There’s a concern about uses of restroom facilities,” Speaker Johnson said.
