Republican 2024 presidential contender Nikki Haley suggested Sunday night that transgender girls in sports are leading to suicidal ideation in teenage girls.

Haley, a former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the United Nations, made the comment during a CNN town hall event in Iowa when host Jake Tapper asked her how she would define "woke."

"There’s a lot of things. I mean, you want to start with biological boys playing in girl sports. That’s one thing," Haley said. "The fact that we have gender pronoun classes in the military now, I mean, all of these things that are pushing what a small minority want on the majority of Americans, it’s too much. It’s too much."

Haley continued by saying, "The women's issue of our time" is "the idea that we have biological boys playing in girls sports."

"My daughter ran track in high school. I don’t even know how I would have that conversation with her," she added. "How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker rooms? And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year. We should be growing strong girls, confident girls."

1. She actually thinks "the women's issue of our time" is biological boys in girls' sports?

Seriously, Nikki? Not reproductive rights or equal pay or domestic violence? Women everywhere care less about those issues than the possibility that there might be a trans girl on some girls' soccer team at a high school somewhere and that this is making all the other girls want to commit suicide?

Seriously, Nikki?

2. She's behind the curve

I expect serious pushback on a lot of so-called social issues. She’s gonna find herself in a very unpopular spot among non-MAGAts.

3. oh FFS!

4. MAGAts are hoping this type of posturing leads to psycho parents shooting trans folk and claiming

they were simply defending their children.

5. The scary thing to remember is that she is considered the "sane" republican

6. The right wing has gone completely off the deep end.
