Dems Demand Ben Carson Resign After Media Twists His Words on Trans Issues

He showed proper concern for the safety of real women

Last week, media reports twisted remarks from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson. Carson had told HUD staff that some women's shelters expressed concerns about "big, hairy men" who identified as women and tried to enter the shelters.

The Washington Post reported Carson's remarks as "dismissive," quoting a staffer who called Carson "disrespectful" and going on to list the secretary's history of politically incorrect comments on transgender issues. Democrats responded with outrage and demands that Carson resign.

"Secretary Carson's transphobic remarks are completely unacceptable," Warren tweeted. "Trans women who experience homelessness are already disproportionately more likely to face violence. If Secretary Carson is not willing to do his job and protect all Americans experiencing housing insecurity then he shouldn't have his job.
