True to form, the anti-trans craze proved once again that it comes for all women, eventually. Trone Garriott’s decision to align herself with hate did not save her.

Democratic candidate Sarah Trone Garriott of Iowa’s third congressional district isn’t just selling out transgender people this election cycle—she’s fomenting hate. She uses inflammatory rhetoric that stokes right-wing fantasies and paints trans girls as sexual predators infiltrating women’s spaces. And none of it is stopping the anti-trans attacks on her campaign from the right.

“I oppose letting men in women’s locker rooms,” said Trone Garriott in an ad released by her campaign last month. She continued to say that “politicians have become too extreme on these issues.”
