Dem Rep Targets MTG With “Motherhood” Resolution

The Hill reports:

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) introduced a resolution Friday that would formally recognize and celebrate diverse family units across the nation. The introduction of the resolution, which Garcia’s office said is a “direct response” to comments made during a House hearing last month by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that suggested non-biological mothers are not actual mothers, comes on the eve of Mother’s Day weekend.

Greene repeatedly claimed that American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, who is a stepmother, is “not a mother” during an April 26 hearing. Garcia’s “Honoring All Families” resolution affirms Congress’s support for all types of families — especially LGBTQ families and families who adopt — as legitimate and deserving of recognition and respect.
