It’s kind of sadder because it’s not a bit.

There’s zero chance someone’s getting gender reassignment surgery when poor kids can’t get heart operations.

That’s not the point anyway
The point is Harris wants it to happen but trump is the crazy one for pointing it out.
Your phrasing here is weirdly right wing and decontextualized.

Context: incarcerated people are in the care of the state. The state provides their healthcare. For some tiny minority of those incarcerated people gender-related care is part of their health picture.

You can skip to one branch of that tree of causality and end it with "Harris wants...." and not technically be a liar. But, like, wouldn't you rather let Sean Hannity say that kind of shit?

why? so we can call sean hannity a crazy right winger too?
i'm not trying to make a "technical" argument. i'm asking why can't trump cite her record if she's so proud of it? it was one of the few honest things he said on that stage.

But when trump says it out loud it’s “crazy” and Harris laughs it off.
"Now she wants to do Transgender operations on illegal aliens that are already in prison."

That's the exact quote from Trump, which is, yes, crazy.

Operative phrase "to do."
“To do” is the crazy phrase??

I don’t understand how you can misinterpret that. Do you think that means involuntary surgery?
We all know he meant. She supports funding them, just like she plainly wrote.
Yes. We do all know what he meant. And his quote remains crazy.

It only seems like an “honest” statement because it’s normal politician dishonesty: “XXX wants our tax dollars to go to ZZZ!” Mountain-out-of-a-molehill bullshit. That’s the closest you’ll get to honesty out of Trump, because he’s graded on a curve. It only looks “honest” because it’s not “immigrants want to eat your pets” or “derp-derp rake the forests.”

It’s crazy because the hysteria about trans issues is crazy.

Exactly. It’s a niche of niche issue. I’m sure it’s incredibly important to people in that community but that it’s a topic of discussion in modern politics is ludicrous. Just give people that need healthcare, healthcare. I was actually pretty happy during the UK election when the Tories tried weaponising it Starmer just stared them down.

The NYT wrote that Trump had the better performance? Link?
No, the "undecided" voters that the NYT always manages to find down the back of the sofa and interview said they thought that Trump had the better performance.
