Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) just took a wrecking ball to woke science on the Senate floor—and it’s going viral for all the right reasons.
During a congressional hearing on an ingredient in the abortion pill, mifepristone, Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN from Georgia, showed up ready to defend the drug’s safety. What she wasn’t ready for? A basic biology question. Senator Hawley asked her a question no legitimate doctor should have trouble answering: Can men get pregnant?
You’d think a doctor would have a quick “no” in her back pocket. Not Dr. Verma. She danced, dodged, and stammered her way through the most awkward word salad you’ve ever heard.
Verma’s response started with “people with different identities” and how “yes-no questions are a political tool” and it went down him from there.
A political tool? You’re a doctor. This isn’t a poetry slam. This is science—or at least it’s supposed to be.
Senator Hawley wasn’t having it. He reminded her that she just testified that “science and evidence should control, not politics.” So he asked again: “Can biological men get pregnant?” And again, she couldn’t say no. She just kept circling the woke drain.
Hawley nailed it: “I don’t know how we can take you seriously and your claims to be a person of science if you won’t level with us on this basic issue.”
This wasn’t a medical debate. It was a reality check. If you’re so far gone you can’t say men can’t get pregnant, maybe you shouldn’t be testifying before Congress—let alone practicing medicine.
And let’s not forget what this hearing was actually about: mifepristone. Hawley pointed out that this abortion drug causes adverse events in 11% of cases—22 times higher than what the FDA claims. But Dr. Verma was too busy playing gender politics to address that.
Watch Senator Hawley corner the leftist and expose their most ridiculous belief…
