Congresswoman Marie Newman

 Congresswoman Marie Newman

Earlier this week, Congresswoman Marie Newman had a Facebook post removed of her posed next to a transgender flag that was in support of transgender Americans and the Equality Act. The video was removed from Facebook due to the post "going against community standards on hate speech and inferiority." Meanwhile, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green posted a video to her Facebook page the same day in complete opposition to Newman. She put up a sign that read "There are TWO genders: male and female," and also claimed in her caption that the Equality Act would destroy women's rights and religious freedom. Interestingly, Congresswoman Marjorie Green's transphobic post was not banned on Facebook, while Congresswoman Marie Newman's supportive message was labeled as "hate speech." Supporting transgender Americans is not hate speech, and I believe the wrong post was flagged.
