GOP Sen. Destroyed For Implying That Biden Reversing Trump's Trans Military Ban Isn't 'Unifying'

GOP Sen. Destroyed For Implying That Biden Reversing Trump's Trans Military Ban Isn't 'Unifying'

After President Joe Biden issued an executive order allowing openly transgender service members to once again serve in the military, Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas posted a tweet that was poorly received by almost everyone online.

Regarding Biden's executive order, the White House issued a statement saying:


"President Biden believes that gender identity should not be a bar to military service, and that America's strength is found in its diversity."

Cornyn's tweet, however, seemed to mockingly imply that allowing transgender soldiers to serve wasn't "unifying."

Twitter immediately began dunking on Cornyn's tweet.

Many wondered how letting one group of people rejoin another group of people could possibly be seen as divisive.


Many Twitter users also cited polls showing a healthy majority of Americans support transgender people serving in the military.


Apparently Cornyn's idea of "unity" is centered around excluding certain groups.



Cornyn has a long history of mockable tweets.



This also isn't the first time a tweet from Cornyn has been "ratioed," which is when a tweet is so unpopular it gets fewer favorites and retweets than replies making fun of it.


But, in a strange way, perhaps Cornyn's tweets have brought a certain unity to Twitter.


This is not the first time and it will likely not be the last Republicans like Cornyn attempt to portray actions by the Biden administration as harmful to "unity," even when, as in this case, they're largely supported by the American public.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. Earth has a great deal of diversity in both flora—plants—and fauna—animals because the planet has many different ecosystems.

From blazing deserts to frozen tundra, life has adapted to live on most areas of our planet. It's only extremely high peaks where life hasn't been found and that may someday change if the climate continues in the direction it's going.
