🚨😳🤬Is this the way the government is run in Pennsylvania?🤬😳🚨
Pennsylvania House Judiciary Chair Tim Briggs (D-Montgomery) faced intense Republican criticism for procedural maneuvers used to move two anti-transgender sports bills out of committee. Republicans accused Briggs of attempting to "secretly kill" the legislation by re-referring them to the Health Committee via voice vote without clearly announcing their content.
During a chaotic Monday hearing, Rep. Briggs was accused by GOP members of using a procedural trick to move two bills—which would restrict transgender athletes to teams matching their biological sex—to the Health Committee without a formal debate, effectively delaying them.
Republicans asserted that Democrats, led by Briggs, are attempting to avoid public, recorded votes on hot-button issues like transgender sports while simultaneously passing progressive legislation.
