Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked the Green Party’s presidential ticket after the party’s vice presidential candidate, Butch Ware, spoke out against transgender athletes in women’s sports.

“I don’t think biological men should plays in women’s sports” Ware said in a video posted on X by attorney and columnist Olayemi Olurin. “I think it gives an unfair competitive advantage, you know.”

Ocasio-Cortez responded to the video, labeling the ticket “predatory.”

“Like I said. This ticket is loot and the people deserve better,” she wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez has taken a partisan stance in her support for transgender rights and protections.

After the Biden-Harris administration in April passed sweeping reform to Title IX that sought to provide more protections for gender identity in schools and universities, Ocasio-Cortez argued that the reform did not go far enough in favor of individuals transgender and, in particular, of transgender people. athletes who wish to compete in women’s sports.

“Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this. It’s indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still pull it off and should. It’s a shame,” Ocasio wrote in response to a report that the change would allow schools to ban. transgender athletes in women’s and girls’ sports.

The administration issued a sweeping rule that clarified that Title IX’s ban on “sex” discrimination in schools covers discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and “pregnancy or related conditions.”

And while the administration has insisted that the regulation does not address athletic eligibility, several experts presented evidence to Fox News Digital in June that it would eventually put more biological males in women’s sports.

That wasn’t good enough for Ocasio-Cortez, though.

Ocasio-Cortez also co-sponsored the Equality Act, which was proposed in 2019 and had revisions that would “force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.”

In March 2023, Democrats including Ocasio-Cortez advocated for a transgender bill of rights, proposing a resolution “recognizing that it is the duty of the federal government to draft and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights.”

The resolution specifically called for a federal law guaranteeing that biological males can “participate in team sports and programs that best align with their gender identity (and) use school facilities that best align with their gender identity their gender”.

Ocasio-Cortez has attacked the Green Party throughout the election cycle, previously calling it “predatory.” The congresswoman spoke out against the party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, during a Q&A on Instagram in early September.

“If all you do is show up once every four years to talk to people who are justifiably upset, but you only show up once every four years to do that, you’re not serious. To me, it doesn’t read. as authentic.

“What I have a problem with is that if you’re running for president, you’re the de facto leader of your party. And if you run for years and years and years and years and your party hasn’t grown and you don’t add city council seats and you don’t add down-ballot candidates and you don’t add state elected officials, that’s bad leadership to me.

Stein responded to Ocasio-Cortez in her own social media post on X.

“Clearly, the AOC is the attack dog of the day, and the Democrats are scared. And they should be, because who wants to support a genocide? Who wants to vote for a genocide?” Stein said in the video. “If there is anything that is predatory here, it is that your candidate is ‘working tirelessly for a ceasefire’ when in fact he is actively funding and arming genocide and refuses to even consider an arms embargo that would lead to genocide to a shrill. Halt.”

The Green Party has about 244,000 registered members nationally, down from its 2004 peak of 319,000, and has never had a candidate win federal office. The party has fielded presidential candidates in every election since 1996 and has never received more than 2.7% of the popular vote.

Ralph Nader won that vote total in 2000 and was widely criticized as a “spoiler” in the close race that ultimately went to Republican George W. Bush.

Democrats also said that Stein’s candidacy in 2016 led to Trump’s upset of Hillary Clinton.
