Ashley Moody asserts Republicans just became the ‘new party of women’

She said Democrats failed families on sports restrictions and law and order.

U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody said a vote on girls’ sports proves Republicans just became “the new party of women.”

The remark came during an opening reception for Rescuing the American Dream’s first summit, which kicked off Wednesday evening in Washington. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is headlining the event, which will focus on how conservatives can advance President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first 100 days in office.

Senate Republicans say they did their part when they tried to pass a ban on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. But the measure failed on Monday to reach the 60-vote threshold necessary to break a Senate filibuster. No Democrat supported advancing the bill.

At the summit, Attorney General Pam Bondi was also in attendance and said she was flabbergasted that the proposal drew no Democratic support.

“The big picture is, some of these girls, these teenagers, have worked there since they’re little in all their different sports so they can go to college on a college scholarship, and they’ve lost that because men are beating them in women’s sports,” Bondi said.

Moody said she was equally upset at Trump’s address to Congress when Democrats in Congress declined to stand to applaud what once would be seen as successes for the entire country.

“I am the wife of a career DEA agent and now a police officer and administration attorney. They are celebrating that we have brought to justice (Drug Enforcement Agency agent) Kiki Camarena’s murderer,” Moody said, referencing the recent arraignment of alleged drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero.

“It is something that has hung over America for so long. And Donald J. Trump brought justice, and we are celebrating that.”

She said the party should unify around the efforts of Republicans to protect children in the streets and the sports field.

“The fact that they (Democrats) sat on their hands when we talked about Tren de Aragua and MS-13, and all of these people that we have brought to justice, and they didn’t cheer for that, that just shows you who is leading the fight against the real perils and dangers that are facing this nation, and that is the Republican Party,” Moody said.

      She’s right you know. Demos are okay with biological men dominating women’s sports. Repubs tried to kill it but Demos wouldn’t do it. Your leadership looked like a bunch of misbehaved kindergartners last night. You must be proud.

        This sports whine is such a NON-issue. Meanwhile, the MAGA Party allows those creeps who sexually assault women to roam freely and even attain high positions in the federal government. They even free them from arrest in other countries and release them into our communities.

    This is a joke right? They are discussing making voting harder for women again? Bunch of hypocrites, does the right hand know what the left hand is doing? Doubtful, what a bunch of loser lunatics are now running this country.

      I have found every one of your posts to be delusional. Are you delusional or just an activist?

    Having control over their own bodies and reproductive rights affects all women, not just those on the volleyball team. Women can thank Republicans for denying access to healthcare – no cheers for that. And this big issue? Another nothing burger from Pam and Ashley- nobody really cares about this and they know it. They work for a criminal, let’s not forget that.

      My body, my choice. What happened with that saying when Demo activist Fauci and the Biden administration demanded forced vaccinations? Hypocrisy

        Oh come on Peachy, a slogan from the 1970’s? You must be an old fart, but time marches on. But even so, I think women know where they stand with Republicans. And getting a jab is not really the same thing as a woman’s right of self determination over her body for sexual, marriage and reproductive choices. Which is whence the slogan came. Again Peachy’s misogyny comes through.

      Earl, once again your posting babbling BS, since you post a lot of MAGA nonsense, I looked you up. LOL yes folks he drank the Kool aid of stupidity, every post on his FB page is the fake supplements from the lunatic Alex Jones, he must have 50 posting of the same. Either he is just another trumper who can’t think for himself or if he’s a Russian troll. (if anyone is unclear who Alex Jones is , he’s the conspiracy evil man who claimed just hours after a gunman murdered 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Infowars host Alex Jones told listeners and watchers that the massacre was “staged” by opponents of Second Amendment rights. For years, the conspiracy theorist’s show grew in popularity while he claimed grieving parents were paid “crisis actors” and that the shooting never happened. And for years, death threats and harassment from Jones’ supporters forced victims’ parents to live in fear. Legal fallout from Alex Jones’ false claims that Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, he was sued by the parents he harassed and is forced to pay 45.2 MILLION) https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/state/2024/06/06/timeline-lawsuits-alex-jones-sandy-hook-shooting-infowars-false-claims/73985486007/
      In the future I recommend disregard any thing he writes, yes we have free speech still in America.
