Ep. 2457 - WHAT COMES NEXT After Awful SCOTUS Ruling?
Where this was said
SCOTUS Transgender Sports Ruling and Media's Language Games
At 54:50 · chapter starts 54:20
Shapiro pivots briefly to the other major SCOTUS decision of the day: the court ruled that biological males cannot compete in girls' or women's sports in public schools and colleges. The ruling itself is described as unsurprising given how oral arguments went. What draws Shapiro's fire is the media coverage. NBC's Craig Melvin aired a note explaining the network was using the terms 'biological male' and 'biological female' only because the court used them, implying the terms are problematic. CNN's Laura Coates went further, calling women's sports 'so-called girls' sports' — a linguistic contortion Shapiro finds both absurd and revealing. He argues this reflexive deference to gender ideology will continue to dog the left politically.
Democrats aren't cheering the SCOTUS ruling out of reverence for the Constitution. They're cheering because birthright citizenship is the engine of mass migration and demographic transformation. That's a distinction Republicans should make loudly.
