From Fox News: A yelling match between Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and a former Biden administration official broke out in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over the need for “two spirit” safe spaces to combat gun violence.
Hawley challenged Gregory Jackson Jr., who served as deputy director of the Biden White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention and, more recently, as the head of Community Justice Action Fund (CJAF), over the organization’s policies on creating safe spaces for “two spirit” individuals.
Hawley was grilling Jackson over a CJAF report published while he led the group, titled “A Policymakers’ Playbook to Reduce Gun Violence Without Policing Communities,” which he said “advocated for defunding the police” and instead investing in “programs that acknowledge the need for safe space initiatives led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, two spirit, trans and gender-nonconforming people.”
Hawley asked, “What’s two spirit?” But Jackson admitted he didn’t know.
Hawley wasn’t letting him off the hook, and declared, “You say that we shouldn’t invest in the police, but we ought to invest in two spirit community programs that acknowledge two spirit individuals. What is that? I just want to know. I don’t know what that is. I have no idea what that is.”
As Jackson stammered around trying to defend the woke language, Hawley slammed him, saying, “The answer is you don’t have any solutions. You want to invest in gobbledygook and take away money from police officers who actually keep our community safe…”
The exchange turned into a wild yelling match.
