Fox News reports:
Democratic lawmakers in Arizona’s state legislature hosted a “Drag Story Hour” in partnership with Planned Parenthood on Tuesday, sparking backlash from their Republican colleagues who said the event was “deceptively” planned.
“Democrat Rep. Lorena Austin deliberately misled House leadership to reserve a conference room to host a drag story hour with Planned Parenthood,” House Speaker Ben Toma [photo], a Republican, said in a statement. “Use of House facilities for radical activism to promote dangerously perverse ideology will not be tolerated while I am Speaker.”
Toma said Democrats have “lost the privilege” of reserving House meeting rooms “until trust can be restored.” The drag story hour took place in the Copper Basin Room in the House basement.
