The representative Sarah McBride, D-Del., The first transgender person chosen for Congress, continues to face the attacks of her republican colleagues, who have repeatedly cheated her on the floor of the camera and in the audiences of the committees.
On Tuesday, it happened again during a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee of the House of Representatives.
The representative Keith Self, Republican of Texas, president of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee of the House of Representatives in Europe, presented McBride, saying: “Now I recognize the Delaware representative: Mr. McBride.”
McBride later replied: “Thank you, Madame Chair”, hitting oneself.

However, when McBride began his interrogation line, representative Bill Keating, D-Mass., The subcommittee classification member, intervened.
“Mr. President, could you repeat your introduction again, please?” asked.
Self argued, without elaborating, that he was following “the standard on the floor of the house.”
Keating enraged himself, asking him to repeat his introduction of McBride. However, the self doubled.
“I will. The Delaware representative: Mr. McBride,” Self said.
McBride sat there when there was a round trip between the president and the ranking member.
“Mr. President, is out of service. Mr. President, does it have decency?” Keating said.
“We will continue this audience,” Self replied, trying to move the committee hearing.
“He will not continue with me unless he presents a properly elected representative in the right way,” Keating said.
However, the self did not change its rhetoric. Rather, he asked that the audience be postponed.

In a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, McBride said he was “disappointed” for the decision to finish the hearing early.
“I was prepared to advance with my questions for the nuclear non -proliferation subcommittee and the support of the United States to democratic allies in Europe,” he said.
This is not the first time that McBride has been hard or has been the center of policy changes in terms of transgender people.
Before McBride was sworn in office, Republican members worked to prohibit transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the United States Capitol.
At the end of November, the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, Republican of La-La., Announced as a policy that transgender women cannot use women’s bathrooms in the Capitol and at home office buildings, as well as in changing rooms and locker room.
“It is important to keep in mind that each member office has its own private bathroom, and unisex baths are available throughout the Capitol,” Johnson said in a statement announcing the policy. “Women deserve the only spaces of women.”
Then, before giving his speech on the first floor on February 8, McBride was attenuated by representative Mary Miller, R-Bill.
“The president recognizes the gentleman of Delaware, Mr. McBride,” said Miller.
