Just kidding. That was some Trump EPA asshole who did that, with taxpayer money no less!
Check out this bullshit:
Conservative whines Tammy Duckworth will weaponize her baby on Senate floor and the backlash is brutal
After there were complaints about how having a nursing newborn among the mostly male Senate might affect the political bodys decorum, Richard Armande Mills took to Twitter to express misgivings.
I agree with their statements on decorum. Not because I have a problem with babies at the workplace, but because I have issues with Duckworth potentially being able to weaponize that baby to affect legislative decision making. And I could see her doing that, Mills tweeted.
The conservative who previously expressed concerns about unborn children, was promptly spanked harshly on social media for comparing a newborn to a weapon used to promote social services that primarily help the poor.

(13,466 posts)Throw dirty diapers at Republicans? DEAR GOD! They have weaponized zygotes to try to control women's autonomy for decades, but "don't be bringing that already born baby in here!" says the terrified "pro-life" R.

(12,660 posts)Even the cats run in fear when they catch the first whiff of the gooey mess. In fact, that's the first indication we know she's got a dirty diaper.
We're in the process of potty training her while spouse is babysitting during the day, so hopefully, she'll be using the toilet in a few months. (Her parents seem to think that changing a diaper is less trouble than potty training, but then, they're living in an apartment with wall to wall carpeting.)

And as always, Republicans love the unborn - until they're, you know, born and start causing ALL MANNER of problems.

(82,849 posts)He obviously doesn't think much of the current crop of Senators, either (nobody does, but it's for a completely different reason). Our pastor recently had her second baby and our aging congregation of former hippies didn't bat an eye when she nursed him during worship, just as she had done previously for his older brother.
Get over yourself, Richard Armande Mills, and please to grow the fuck up.
