Over the past few weeks, Republicans have taken to accusing supporters of LGBTQ rights of being “ groomers.” This hyperaggressive smear tactic is straight out of the QAnon playbook, but it can be traced to the early days of American politics. She wasn’t afraid to be emotional, or even enraged. McMorrow did two stunning things: She defended herself, and she did so in a way that came across as wholly authentic. Think of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which helped derail John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004, or the conspiracy theories about the Benghazi embassy attack, which hurt Hillary Clinton’s popularity. They take the high road, whatever that means, with very mixed results. More often, they ignore scurrilous attacks. McMorrow’s remarks were memorable because she was tenacious in her delivery, but also because Democrats tend not to defend themselves in this way. And I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen.”Ĭonor Friedersdorf: That’s not what grooming means

We cannot let hateful people tell you otherwise to scapegoat and deflect from the fact that they are not doing anything to fix the real issues that impact people’s lives. “I am a straight, white, Christian, married suburban mom … I want every child in this state to feel seen, heard, and supported, not marginalized and targeted because they are not straight, white, and Christian. McMorrow laid out the absurd charges against her, and she did so on personal terms-telling a story about her own childhood before describing the obligation she feels to call out the tactics of politicians like Theis.

But last week a Democratic state senator named Mallory McMorrow from Royal Oak, Michigan, somehow broke through when she stood up on the floor of the Michigan Senate and defended herself against smears from another state senator, Lana Theis, who wrote in a fundraising email that Democrats like McMorrow “are outraged they can’t teach can’t groom and sexualize kindergartners or that 8-year-olds are responsible for slavery.” This is especially the case in today’s toxic fog of disinformation and apathy. It’s unusual for a one-off political speech to make someone famous. Sign up for Molly’s newsletter, Wait, What?, here.
