She made the comments as the Montana House of Representatives held a floor debate on legislation that would ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.

  1. You'd rather, huh? Well, I hope you get the chance to find out, Kerri.

  2. This needs to be much more visible. "I'd rather my kid be dead than LGBTQ+" is exactly the Republican position, and young people need to hear it.

  3. What a nice pro-life position to have.

  4. Republicans are MONSTERS, this is their "family values"

  5. No one is talking about lifelong required medications that ruins your liver and kidneys, + chronic infections.

  6. Her children should be removed from her custody. She is clearly unstable.

  7. Is this truly a surprise to anyone? Conservatives can try to talk around how they truly feel, but actions speak louder than words. And the actions conservatives have taken and advocate for when it comes to transgender people make one thing abundantly clear. They would rather children be dead than trans.

    Let me make it clear.

    CONSERVATIVES ARE VILE MONSTERS WHO WOULD RATHER CHILDREN BE DEAD THAN TRANSGENDER.

  8. Leave our children alone

  9. Leave our children alone

  10. This representative should be made to pay a tax on oxygen.

  11. She should not be allowed to have kids. This is child abuse.

  12. Matthew 7:23 is for her and she doesn't know it. This is what narcissistic personality disorder looks like. Pompous windbag that lives within herself. Sympathy for that daughter having to grow up with this worthless human as a mother. She's not fit to be a mother much less a representative. This is the face of evil. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

  13. Daughter: “I’m suicidal”

    Mom:”not my problem”

    Glad to see one of our reps would rather see her daughter commit suicide than get her help and take those steps. All you did was pray? You didn’t just talk to her? Be there for her?

    I thought my family was fked. But you just top the list. I fear for our newer generation when it’s their turn to take over our government.

  14. This monster talking about manipulation…😂

  15. Woman, you are the devil in sheep's clothing

  16. This women should have never of had children. Horrible human being.

  17. How do you let a person who knows so little about children and has never had kids of their own, has no background in child psychology talk about opponents having "blood on their hands" and legislate this serious and dangerous legislation for American families? Just crazy what the news media supports without asking "normal" questions everybody else is asking.

  18. She is absolutely correct. Full stop. God bless her for NOT transitioning the child. MAGA!

  19. This lady is unbelivable

  20. What a narristic POC.

  21. Transitioning is no solution to this…irreversible actions on kids is wrong

  22. "Will you help your suicidal daughter?" Boomer Republican mom: "nah im good"
