In a rousing speech that no politician should ever have to give, Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow denounced an attack against her by a conservative Christian politician who falsely accused her of being a “groomer” because she supports LGBTQ rights and schools teaching a comprehensive version of U.S. history instead of the white-washed, dumbed-down kind favored by Republicans.

State Sen. Lana Theis, a “Christian Constitutional Conservative” and chair of the Senate Education Committee, made the unfounded allegations as part of a campaign fundraiser, using extremist language that the GOP has adopted in an effort to further radicalize its voting base. She claimed McMorrow and her allies are “outraged they can’t teach can’t groom and sexualize kindergarteners or that 8-year olds are responsible for slavery.” (Yes, that bad grammar and lack of punctuation comes courtesy of the Republican chair of the Senate Education Committee.)
