Ocasio-Cortez Criticizes Green Party on Trans Rights

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has criticized the Green Party's vice presidential nominee Butch Ware for his stance against transgender athletes competing in women's sports, labeling the party's ticket as 'predatory'. Ware's comments, stating that biological males should not compete in women's sports due to perceived unfair advantages, prompted Ocasio-Cortez to emphasize her support for trans rights and oppose what she sees as threats to those rights. She expressed that the Green Party's position could detract votes from Democrats in the upcoming presidential election. Ocasio-Cortez has previously condemned the Green Party's leadership and called for better representation and policies that protect gender identity in schools. In response, Jill Stein from the Green Party defended her party's stance and criticized Democrats for their past actions, highlighting the ideological tensions between the two parties. As the election approaches, these debates are expected to influence voter sentiment and the political landscape.
