Why was the Biden administration spending millions of dollars to create transgender animals? What say you, liberals of Bluegrass Rivals? Here is your opportunity to finally criticize Joe Biden, or defend the insanity that led to this government waste, fraud, and/or abuse.

Mace Opens Hearing on Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty

WASHINGTON—Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Chairwoman Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) delivered opening remarks at a subcommittee hearing titled, “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.”[b] [/b]In her opening statement, Subcommittee Chairwoman Mace highlighted how the Biden-Harris Administration spent millions of taxpayer dollars on cruel and unnecessary animal testing research. She continued by emphasizing that recently developed technological tools can more accurately model human biology and identify solutions that are more useful for human patients, but the federal bureaucracy has blocked novel advancements from being utilized. She closed by thanking the witnesses and looking forward to a robust conversation regarding wasteful government spending on animal cruelty.

Below are Subcommittee Chairwoman Mace’s remarks as prepared for delivery.

Good afternoon.

Late last year the White Coat Waste Project exposed that more than $10 million dollars in taxpayer funds were spent creating transgender mice, rats, and monkeys.

These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies at universities across the country.

For example, the Biden-Harris Administration spent $2.5 million taxpayer dollars to study the fertility of transgender mice.

$1.1 million dollars were spent to find out if female rats receiving testosterone therapies to mimic transgender men were more likely to overdose on a party drug commonly used in the LGBTQ community to induce drug-fueled “chemsex.”

Federal funds were also used to forcibly transition male monkeys to see if hormone therapy made them more susceptible to HIV.

The Biden-Harris Administration was so eager to propagate their radical gender ideology across all facets of American society that they did not pause to consider that such experiments are not only cruel, but unnecessary.

Monkeys cannot be infected with HIV. Yet this federally funded experiment forced them to take hormone-altering drugs to study a virus they cannot have.
