Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D), who called out a Republican colleague who accused her of grooming children, said she received a call from President Biden on the matter.
“I didn’t wake up on Monday morning thinking that, by Friday, I’d answer a phone call saying, ‘Hi, Mr. President,’” McMorrow said in a Twitter post on Saturday.
“I’m humbled by @potus reaching out to discuss my speech, why we do this, and what it means for the soul of the nation. We can, and we will,” McMorrow added. “#HateWontWin.”
McMorrow garnered headlines after she ripped fellow Michigan state Sen. Lana Theis (R) during a floor speech.
“Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community…in a fundraising email, for herself,” McMorrow tweeted.
Some Democrats are becoming sensitive about being called groomers.
