Politico: Advocacy group slams Ben Carson over reported slur of trans people
“Ben Carson has spent his career in politics expressing disgust toward the existence of transgender people,” the Human Rights Campaign president said.
The Washington Post writes that Carson “has repeatedly mocked transgender people in internal meetings.”
19 Black trans women have been killed this year because comments like Ben Carson’s normalize violence against them.
As HUD Secretary, I protected trans people, I didn’t denigrate them.https://t.co/yibDnZAypj
