Missile-head Matt [1]

Amid all the garbage thrown at the National Defense Authorization Act in the U.S. House, Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) introduced an amendment banning health care for transgender military personnel and their families.

Here’s what he said on the floor of the U.S. House: “We have drag shows taking place at Malmstrom Air Force Base, there are 150 ICBM missiles that are being controlled by that Air Force Base and by these individuals. I don’t want someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman with their hand on a missile button.”

That statement is inaccurate in too many ways to count. In fact, there was just one drag show (June 2021) on the base, staged by civilian volunteers. But Rosendale is never a stickler for facts; he just bulls ahead with bullshit. What a shame for the state of Montana.
