Breitbart Host Says Americans Shouldn't Get Any Emergency Coronavirus Aid Because 'Transgenders' Might Benefit

Breitbart Host Says Americans Shouldn't Get Any Emergency Coronavirus Aid Because 'Transgenders' Might Benefit

As the AIDS crisis taught us, there's a significant portion of American society that believes health crises are only crises when they begin to significantly affect cisgender heterosexuals.

Phyllis Schlafly Eagles organization president and poster child for mediocrity Ed Martin reminded us of that when he appeared on a radio show for the far-right Breitbart News Tonight (the term "news" is doing a LOT of work here).


For those unfamiliar with Martin, he's the protege of infamous bigot Phyllis Schlafly. Schlafly gained notoriety for her women belong barefoot and pregnant mantra and her activism against the Equal Rights Amendment, LGBTQ equality and racial equality.

Martin didn't stray far from his roots.

With the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down schools, churches, restaurants, bars and other businesses across the country, numerous bipartisan politicians are calling for some form of financial aid to keep the lives of those affected as uninterrupted as possible.

Even some Republicans are proposing to send checks directly to Americans in order to offset the financial burden of sudden unemployment or underemployment.

Martin wasn't in favor of that:

"Here's what I told somebody today: If the answer is, 'We'll send you $1,000 because times are tough,' every Democrat in America will tell you times are tough for every hyphenated American. We'll have: 'Transgenders need $1,000 a month because it's tough.'"

If you have some I.Q. points to spare, you can listen to the recording below.

There's a lot to unpack here.

First off, "transgender" is an adjective, not a noun.

There is such a thing as transgender people and historical records show there always has been. But there is no such thing as "transgenders," despite the constant attempts of people like Martin and his ilk to erase their humanity.

Second of all:

Giphy

You can let your imagination do the work of just whom you think Martin is okay with the government aiding, if it is not any "hyphenated Americans" and "transgenders."

People on Twitter could certainly read between the lines.






Maybe we should give Ed Martin a thousand dollars to never go on a radio show again. Or to just go away.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
