Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stumped the president of the Human Rights Campaign during a Wednesday hearing — with a yes-or-no question that most preschool-aged children could answer with no difficulty.
During a hearing titled “Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” Cruz first asked HRC President Kelley Robinson whether she believed there was any difference between men and women – and when she failed multiple times to answer that question, he asked why she thought women had separate sports teams.
“Ms. Robinson, do you agree with Ms. [Riley] Gaines, that there’s a difference between women and men?” Cruz asked, referencing an answer given earlier in the hearing by former NCAA champion swimmer Riley Gaines.
