‘Satan’s Lie To Vulnerable Children:’ MTG Talks Transgender ‘Spiritual Warfare’ With Congresswomen

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and two of her fellow GOP congresswomen discussed her bill banning transgender medical services for children and the “spiritual warfare” surrounding gender ideology.

Greene claimed that one of Georgia’s biggest megachurches trains youth pastors to affirm teens’ new gender identities and pronouns.

“That should never happen in church because that is confirming Satan’s lie to these vulnerable children,” Greene said on the Republican Study Committee’s podcast “Right to the Point.”

Two other Republican women in Congress joined the podcast for Wednesday’s episode alongside Greene: Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) and Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN). The podcast interviews members of Congress every week from Capitol Hill.

Both women are co-sponsors of Greene’s bill, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which would ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries like genital sex changes and double mastectomies for minors.

Greene said she is hopeful her bill will get a vote on the House floor soon.

“President Trump is ready to sign it into action,” she said.

Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO), who hosted the podcast, said, “The Left tries to create language that softens things, gender-affirming care. What in the heck does that mean? You are mutilating the body of a young person.”

Harshbarger said she spent her whole life in the healthcare industry before coming to Congress, where she now fights to protect children from gender ideology.

“God is so good when he puts us where we need to be to take care of those issues,” Harshbarger said. “And it’s a lie from the pits of hell that you can change your sex, you can’t change your DNA.”

“It’s a great lie that Satan had from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, and he is a liar and deceiver, and I think he’s trying to get to us,” Alford said. “And they guilt you into if you don’t go along with this, and you’re not human, you’re not compassionate. No, we are compassionate. Gender dysphoria, why would you affirm any type of dysphoria?”

“It’s this, Marjorie, that goes back to spiritual warfare,” Harshbarger said. “When the pastors from the pulpit do not condemn evil, and they uphold what is wrong, what the Bible says, says, what is conceived is and what is construed is right in the end days will be looked at as is wrong, and what is wrong will be looked at as right.”

“The truth sets people free,” Miller said. “We cannot lie about this. And I want to say that evil never retreats on its own, only when it’s confronted by a more powerful force. And number one, we have President Trump. He’s a strong leader. But all of us that have been elected to Congress, we want to be a force against evil.”

Miller said their opponents have told them they can have their beliefs, but only in their private spaces. “Go to your home or be quiet,” opponents insist, according to Miller. 

“We are not going to do that anymore,” she said. “And whether it’s teachers or it’s in government, the whistleblowers, people that parents that are speaking up. … But we need legislators. We need brave parents, whistleblowers. We need to shed light on all the evil and dark things that have been happening in our country, and praise God that it is happening.”
