New Doc Tries to Rewrite History on Zephyr Montana Leg Drama
Just in time for the November elections, The New Yorker reminds us just how radical the Montana Democrat Party has become. They're promoting a new "mini-documentary" about Zooey Zephyr, the radical trans lawmaker from Missoula.
Zephyr is the Democrat state legislator for state House District 100 in Missoula who was barred from the floor of the state house following a bigoted attack against lawmakers of faith that Zephyr refused to apologize for.
Remember, both liberal Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Democrat Congressional candidate Monica Tranel (D-MT01) have been on the record supporting men in women's sports. I fully believe that this is THE sleeper issue of the 2024 elections here in Montana. Navy SEAL veterans Tim Sheehy and Congressman Ryan Zinke (R-MT01) have both hammered their opponents on this issue.
Meanwhile in the state legislature, while legislative Republicans were advancing over a billion dollars in tax cuts, property tax rebates, and income tax rebates- legislative Democrats were pushing a radical transgender agenda targeting children with procedures that could cause lifelong, irreversible harm.
Enter now The New Yorker, which is promoting a new mini documentary trying to cast Zephyr in the most positive light possible.
For those of you who don't recall what happened in the Montana Legislature, here's what I wrote for The Federalist back in May of 2023:
Zephyr told fellow lawmakers that when they bow their heads for the invocation, he hopes they see “blood on their hands.” The liberal media mob, led by the Associated Press, continues to suggest that Zephyr was then silenced by the Montana speaker of the House for using the “blood on their hands” reference. The reality ignored by most in the media is that Zephyr used a bigoted attack targeting lawmakers of faith and violated House rules. Zephyr refused to apologize for breaking those House rules and move on.
A question that begs to be answered is: Who is Zooey Zephyr? And why does no one in the legacy media seem to have the slightest journalistic curiosity to ask that question?
