Empty G's spreading a baseless, transphobic rumor that the tampon shortage should be blamed on trans

people

https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-spreading-baseless-060512791.html

Marjorie Taylor Greene baselessly claimed that trans men are causing the current tampon shortage.

The lawmaker said on her podcast that trans men are "buying tampons," hence the shortage.

Global supply chain issues and consumer demand are the real reasons behind the shortfall.


On Monday, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spread a baseless, transphobic rumor that blamed the country's ongoing tampon shortage on trans people. "Men have taken over everything. They're 'women of the year' in every category, in women's categories. And the latest news is, there's a shortage of tampons, and that's probably because men are buying tampons," Greene said on an episode of her podcast, "MTG Live."

Give it a few more days and she'll blame 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Reagan's assassination attempt, Lincoln's assassination, Watergate and of course the Bowling Green Massacre on trans people too.

I hope there is not a sock shortage because she could use several in her mouth, so long as she shuts up for once.

I’ve been stockpiling tampons by the millions so I can do what scalpers did with masks a couple of years ago. I was gonna make billions. Now my plan is ruined thanks to MTG.
