The anti-LGBTQ+ Republican lawmakers followed a cisgender woman they mistook as the first transgender member of Congress into the bathroom.
"It defies understanding, except for the fact that it's a pretty obvious part of a politics of misdirection and distraction," McBride said of Republicans' proposed federal anti-trans legislation.
