People paid to dunk a man in a dress at a county fair to mock the state's top COVID doctor

Physician General Rachel Levine is a transgender woman. She has faced months of transphobic attacks... because she's asking people to wear masks.

A county fair is facing criticism for mocking the state’s top doctor, Physician General Rachel Levine, with an image of a man in a dress. Levine is a transgender woman.

The people behind the Bloomsburg Fair in eastern Pennsylvania posted a picture to Facebook this past weekend of a man in a blond wig, dress, and glasses, who was working the dunk tank.

“Dr. Levine?” said the caption in the Bloomsburg Fair Association’s post. “Thank you you were a hit and raised a lot of money for the local fire companies. Wonder why so many were trying to dunk you.”

1. Tough Guys

At long range.
Besides, I want these idiots to admit how much money the dunk tank made last year.
I'm guessing it was equal to or greater than this year. And, they didn't have turn anybody into a villain and denigrate them!

6. Just so cruel and disrespectful, especially to a doctor trying to save lives.

I would love to take those transphobic idiots and put them in the dunk tank (and leave them there).

7. Disgusting knuckledraggers

Someone who works hard to safeguard public health should not be mocked in this cruel way.

Dress someone up as Dumpy. That should raise TONS of money with a dunk tank.

12. As a native Pennsylvanian this sickens me to no end.

And that firefighters did this -- men and women serving their communities just like Dr. Levine? I'm glad Governor Wolf spoke out so forcefully.
