MAGA 'Loser' Wants It to Be Illegal for Women to Own Dogs

Far-right creeps say the darnedest things, and a few of their recent insane soundbites were played on this week’s bonus episode of The New Abnormal politics podcast. These were some of the most absurd yet, from a clip of a Missouri State Senator backing marriage for 12-year-olds to one of a far-right Trump supporter calling to make women’s dog ownership illegal.

First up, show hosts Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy listen to a clip of a Republican named Webster Barnaby (R-FL) comparing trans people to mutants from X-Men during a hearing. (He later apologized.)

“We have people that live among us today on planet Earth that are happy to display themselves as if they were mutants from another planet. This is the planet Earth where God created men, male, and women, female. I’m a proud Christian, conservative Republican. I’m not on the fence,” he says in the clip.

“Sir, take your ass to Mars, too,” Danielle chimes in. “I’m so sick and tired. Like ‘God created blah, blah.’ Everybody doesn’t believe in your same God. Everybody doesn’t read from your same Bible of evil and despair. So mutants, whatever, X-Men, fantastic, they all have special powers, they’re all really fucking cool.”

“They’re also the good guys,” adds Andy of the X-Men, pointing out that Barnaby apparently doesn’t even realize that mutants are still humans and not aliens.

I think I might need to add this to my podcast feed. I need the laughs.
