Well, yes, they have lost their minds. They lost them back when George W. Bush was president, which is when the term barking moonbat came about. They were worse when Bush won in 2004. Then they started getting very weird when Obama was president, and then pure bat-guano insane with Trump as president. And even wonkier now
Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley says the Democrats “have lost their minds” after his tense exchange with a progressive pro-choice California law professor went viral.
Hawley torched the Democrats in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital, calling the party “extremists” and saying the Democrats’ descent into madness is on display for the whole country.
“The Democrats have become such extremists. Now their official line is men can get pregnant — and if you disagree, you’re violent,” Hawley said on Tuesday after the exchange went viral online. “They have lost their minds and the whole country can see it.”
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the impact of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and sent the subject of abortion back to be decided at the state level.
The University of California at Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges, a pro-choice witness on a panel before the Senate, accused Hawley of endangering transgender Americans by asking if only women can get pregnant.
Here’s the exchange

It really is insane
During the hearing, Hawley asked Bridges about her use of the phrase “people with the capacity for pregnancy” and if she meant “women” by it.
In response, Bridges tore off her mask and said that many “cis-women have the capacity for pregnancy” and that “many cis-women” are not able to get pregnant.
“There are also trans-men who are capable of pregnancy as well as non-binary people who are capable of pregnancy,” Bridges continued.
“So this isn’t really a women’s rights issue, it’s a what?” Hawley retorted. Bridges responded that people can “recognize this impacts women while also recognizing that it impacts other groups.”
“So, your view is that the core of this right then is about what?” Hawley asked.
“I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic and it opens trans people up to violence,” the professor said.
“Wow, you’re saying that I’m opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies?” Hawley responded.
The UC Berkley law professor did not answer Hawley’s question, instead pointing to a suicide attempt statistic for transgender Americans and claiming the senator was “denying trans people exist.”
“I’m denying trans people exist by asking you if you’re talking about women having pregnancies?” Hawley asked as Bridges barked “are you” over his question.
Um, what are we talking about at this point? These people are batshit crazy. And, yes, trans people are much more likely to have suicidal thoughts and attempt suicide than regular people, because they are mentally ill.
