Montana Transgender Lawmaker Censured After ‘Hate-Filled Testimony’ While Debating Bill
A Montana legislator accused of presenting “hate-filled testimony” while debating a bill to ban transgender medical care for minors was censured Wednesday.
State Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a Democrat, identifies as a transgender female. He spoke forcefully in opposition during floor debate concerning the pending legislation. His floor remarks were deemed inflammatory rhetoric by some colleagues, who called for Rep. Zephyr’s censure.
Fox News further reported:
A transgender lawmaker in Montana was censured Thursday after she was accused of presenting a “hate-filled testimony” while debating a bill that would ban transgender medical care for minors.
State Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a Democrat, had a message for those who voted in favor of the bill banning transgender medical care for minors.
“The only thing I will say, is if you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments, I hope the next time there’s an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands,” Zephyr said referencing the body’s opening prayer.
Republican Speaker Matt Regier then refused to acknowledge Zephyr when she wanted to express her opinion on a bill aiming to put a binary definition of male and female into the state code.
“It is up to me to maintain decorum here on the House floor, to protect the dignity and integrity,” Regier said. “And any representative that I don’t feel can do that will not be recognized.”
Regier said that the decision to not allow Zephyr to speak came after “multiple discussions” with other lawmakers, adding that there have been similar problems.
Montana Freedom Caucus member Rep. Caleb Hinkle, one of the individuals who demanded the censure, said that “Hate-filled testimony has no place on the House floor.”
The bill that was being debated would ban transgender minors in the state from receiving surgical procedures, hormones, and puberty blockers.
Zephyr said on Thursday in a statement that the Montana GOP “is refusing to allow me to speak on any bill for the remainder of the legislative session.”
“I want to be clear: no amount of silencing tactics will deter me from standing up for the rights of the transgender community,” Zephyr said. “I will not apologize for speaking with clarity and precision about the harm these bills cause. Montana Republicans say they want an apology, but what they really want is silence as they take away the rights of trans and queer Montanans.”
The Montana House Freedom Caucus said in a statement earlier on Thursday that Zephyr should be censured.
“The Montana Freedom Caucus demands Representative Zooey Zephyr of Missoula’s House District 100 be censured by the House for attempting to shame the Montana legislative body and by using inappropriate and uncalled-for language during a floor debate over amendments concerning Senate Bill 99 — to ban sex changes of minor children,” a press release states. “This bill already passed the Montana House and Senate, and the debate was over amendments requested by the governor.”
Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte has signaled that he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk.

FBI Whistleblower Warns Agents Against Speaking Out About Abuses of Power: FBI, Government ‘Will Crush You’
An FBI agent and purported whistleblower said on Thursday that he would discourage other agents from stepping forward about alleged abuses by the federal law enforcement agency, claiming that their lives would be “destroyed” if they spoke up.
Former FBI agent Garret O’Boyle, who came to prominence this year for testifying before the House Weaponization Committee about alleged politically motivated abuses in his former agency, told reporters that he would discourage other agents from speaking out because of the consequences to their personal lives.
“I would tell them first to pray about it, long and hard,” O’Boyle said in remarks reported by The Daily Caller. “And I would tell them I could take it to Congress for them, or I could put them in touch with Congress. But I would advise them not to do it.”
O’Boyle was one of three FBI agents to testify publicly before the Weaponization Committee, attesting that his family was left temporarily homeless after a suspension from the law enforcement agency which he claims was in retaliation for his criticisms of their conduct.
Republican North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong asked O’Boyle, “And how do you think that solves being able to shine light on corruption, weaponization, any kind of misconduct that exists with the American people?”
“It doesn’t solve it. But the FBI will crush you. This government will crush you, and your family, if you try to expose the truth about thing that they are doing that are wrong. We are all examples of that,” he answered as he pointed to two other agents who were testifying.
Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) has claimed that there are 12 additional whistleblowers who have approached him with concerns and have asked him to remain anonymous for fear of persecution.
However, the status of these individuals as “whistleblowers” has been challenged by subcommittee Democrats, who published a document over 300 pages long arguing that the former agents in contact with the Committee leadership do not meet the criteria of whistleblowers.
This issue became the subject of a contentious exchange earlier on Thursday in which Jordan bickered with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) over the appropriateness of the “whistleblower” designation in a cacaphony of congressional crosstalk.
