Rep. Jim Banks and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra tussled over Becerra's opposition to 18-year-olds having guns but support of children undergoing gender reassignment.
Jim Banks mixed it up with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra over transgender ideology in a hearing Tuesday and told Fox News Digital that the interaction was an attempt by the Biden administration to"wiggle out" of defending"evil" policies it's pushing.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra testifies before the Senate Finance Committee on March 22, 2023"I’m just curious, why do you think that 18-20 year olds can’t be trusted with a firearm," Banks asked Becerra about the move in California while he was attorney general to ban 18-20 year olds from owning handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
"Then you believed that an 18-year-old shouldn’t be allowed to own a hunting rifle, today you believe a 9, 10, 11-year-old should be able to change their sex and have an irreversible surgery to do that, help us explain the logic."and said,"Congressman I would appreciate it if you let me characterize what I believe and we could have a good conversation rather than you characterize what I believe.
Banks said that the report recommends"cutting off" funds from states that"stigmatize transgender children."
