Ripped from the Fox News headlines: Testerman blames Shaheen for 'VIP sex change'
U.S. Senate candidate Karen Testerman rips a headline from Fox News and asks, “Why are taxpayer dollars being expended on a VIP sex change for a convicted traitor while our patriotic veterans are dying for lack of care?”
Testerman is referring to news that the Pentagon is considering a transfer for Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so the soldier who was convicted of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks can get treatment for a gender-identity condition. (More authoritative sources report Manning has not publicly said if she wants surgery.)
But Testerman doesn’t elaborate. Instead, she suggests that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is somehow at fault. It’s a guilt-by-association thing. Shaheen “continues to blindly follow the agenda” set by the President and Harry Reid, writes Testerman, “who continues to be the target of criminal investigations for corruption which have been put on hold by Attorney General Eric Holder.”
“Integrity is not in the vocabulary of this administration,” Testerman concludes. And she throws in an unrelated John Adams quote. And she misspells the President’s name – twice.
