Libs Hold Rally to Save the Trans Mice

Doubling down on stupid appears to be the new normal on the left.

Just when you thought the people who couldn't support kids with cancer couldn't stoop any lower, the Democrats' national War on Common Sense has come to Columbus.

Local radical leftists followed the lead of national Democrats jumping over the credibility cliff by holding a rally at the Statehouse on Friday to save taxpayer funding for scientists trying to turn mice into transsexuals, among other questionable research.

Apparently there is still enough of that sweet, Soros-backed, USAID money floating around the system to 
sponsor a turnout by Ohio's permanently disgruntled and perpetually aggrieved socialists, who spent the afternoon chanting indecipherable griveances.

But, wait a minute...

Taxpayer funding transgender experiments on mice?

Really...???

Sounds too absurd to be true, doesn't it? That's the conclusion CNN jumped to after President Trump mentioned in his national address on Tuesday that the Department of Government Efficiency had identified $8 million that was spent on "making mice transgender."

CNN called that "false."

CNN immediately regretted that headline.

The fake news leader was forced into an instant correction after conducting just a bare minimum of research that showed Trump's claim was, in fact, true.

That correction said:  "An earlier version of this item incorrectly characterized as false Trump’s claim about federal money being spent for ‘making mice transgender.’ The article has been updated with context about the spending, which was for research studies on the potential human health impacts of treatments used in gender-affirming care."

As FOX News accurately reported, CNN's "edited version of the fact-check changed the assertion on Wednesday from 'falsely claimed' to 'needs context,' adding the White House had since put out a list of federal grants involving mice receiving gender-transition treatments. 

Here's how the head of DOGE, Elon Musk, reacted to the fake news — using screenshots provided by the popular blogger Libs of TikTok to show the "before" and "after" versions of CNN's lastest big fail:

If it seems strange that radical leftists in Columbus chose to protest cuts in funding to boondoggle projects at the National Institutes of Health, especially when President Trump addressed so many seemingly bigger issues during his national address, consider this...

Leftists suddenly do not have the backing of the American people on any single issue.

And by historic margins.

It's not even close:

It's enough to make you wonder if the Democratic Party can survive another four years.

Seriously.
