Fox News
Riot police arrested a number of left-wing protestors that disrupted proceedings at the Montana state capitol in support of a censured transgender lawmaker.
The group chanted, "Let her speak!" for "nearly half an hour," according to another report, bringing the session to a halt in support ending the censure against Zephyr. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
Zephyr, a bisexual and the first transgender lawmaker in Montana legislature history, drew criticism Tuesday after telling Republicans during a House floor debate on amendments to Senate Bill 99, which would prohibit sex change treatment for minors, that they have "blood on (their) hands," a notion the lawmaker hopes will be present in their prayers.
