Representative Webster Barnaby, R, said the following:
“The Lord rebuke you, Satan, and all of your demons and all of your imps who come parade before us,” he told the trans people and trans supporters at a hearing for a bathroom bill. “That’s right, I called you demons and imps who come and parade before us and pretend you are part of this world.
"We have people that live among us today on planet Earth that are happy to display themselves as if they were mutants from another planet. This is the planet Earth where God created men male and women female." So, I'm saying my righteous indignation is stirred. I am sick and tired of this. I'm not going to put up with it. You can test me and try to take me on. But I promise you I'll win every time."
Sadly, the way things are in FL politics right now, he just may win every time.
