The 30-second spot, entitled “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” targets the GOP over its fixation on restricting trans people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms. The ad, which The Hill reports is part of a larger buy worth over $1 million per The Hill, begins with a young girl entering a bathroom and to her horror, encountering an older white-haired man sitting in the stall waiting for her. He greets her with a short hello. Immediately, the girl presses the man for answers, “What are you doing? Who are you?”

“I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, I’m checking to make sure that there’s no trans people in the wrong bathroom,” he says.

Her response: “Bathrooms are private. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

“I won the last election, and this is my priority,” he says, “Now let’s make sure you’re really a girl,” ending with an ominous smirk.

    “But but but! If GOP can’t distract you with sexuality and religion, how will they keep critics away from unchecked O&G drilling?”

      Ohh don’t worry, the Dems will allow drilling too. Is the non-corporate issues they’ll roll back to reasonable non-religious values.

          More that renewable donors promote Democrats, and Democrats are receptive to these donors in a way Republicans are not

          But pop down to Texas, the national leader in Solar and Wind power. Even that doesn’t hold up against close inspection

          Entirely too much money in renewable and battery tech for either party to ignore
