The woman representing Donald Trump's party is an avowed transphobe with a history of disturbing statements.

Transphobic writer Elizabeth Harrington will be the Republican National Committee's new national spokesperson, the party announced Thursday.

Harrington replaces Kayleigh McEnany, who's leaving to serve as press secretary for President Trump's reelection campaign. While the Trump administration and the Republican Party make no effort to hide their transphobia — Trump's ban on openly transgender service members went into effect Friday — Harrington's antipathy towards trans people is excessive and shocking even by GOP standards.


Most recently, Harrington served as a senior writer for the conservative Washington Free Beacon; she appeared frequently on cable news shows touting far-right talking points. Here are a few things Harrington stated about transgender people in a July 2017 edition of The Morning Blaze radio show:

“It literally even says, she [a student who objects to sharing facilities with a transgender student] can be removed and put into their own bathroom, single-occupancy bathroom, as long as it doesn’t stigmatize the gender non-conforming student, whatever that means. Cause it’s, like, still all about this one kid who wants all the attention.

“Part of this is if a kid feels uncomfortable, that kid has to be segregated from the rest of the group, not the one kid who’s saying, ‘Hey, I’m a girl now, let me come into the girls’ locker room and bathroom.’

“It’s crazy, it’s literally insane how trendy this has become and then all of these rules in place for something that really was very, very uncommon and now everyone has to change.”

1. "Trendy". As straight self identifying, even I can see what a clueless hate fiiled ...

person Elizabeth Harrington is. She's the one with "optional" issues, she chooses to hate. My heart goes out to the transgendered who are road blocked trying to fit into their own skins.
