Recently, following a unanimous Senate decision to permit newborns on the chamber floor, prompted by Senator Lisa Green becoming the first sitting senator to give birth during her term, a rather peculiar comment popped up on social media. A user claimed, “Green could potentially ‘weaponize’ her baby since infants have never been allowed in this setting before. What if she uses her child to sway legislation? Isn’t that unfair? It’s a reasonable concern. I’m not criticizing working mothers.”
Curious about this assertion, I decided to investigate further. While numerous individuals responded to the post, the original tweet appeared to have been deleted before I could find it. However, instead of reconsidering that outrageous statement, the user doubled down on it later.
Who is Brian Thompson?
The individual in question is Brian Thompson, known on Twitter as BRIANTALK. I’ll refer to him as Brian for simplicity. Unsurprisingly, the broader online community rejected his claims and responded with a wave of critical commentary, addressing the absurdity of his perspective.
“Wow! That’ll throw a wrench in the plans for Roe v. Wade repeal, won’t it, hypocrites?” one commenter remarked. Another chimed in, “I’ve had several discussions with my Congressional aides but have never heard back from my actual Representatives. It seems they prefer form letters and secretaries over real constituents.”
“Yes, that’s precisely what it signifies,” another user confirmed. “Unthinkable! We can’t allow that to happen. It’s simply unacceptable.” Others expressed their support for equal parental rights among male and female senators, asserting there was no issue with the new policy.
“Shhhh! Don’t spill our military secrets on Twitter, that’s what the President is for,” joked another. “And someone needs to alert Dana Loesch to this immediately!”
Reactions on Facebook
Many Facebook users also expressed their astonishment. One commenter mentioned, “My kids are teenagers now, so I’m not in the baby phase anymore. But I have to ask: Was there an upgrade option for babies that I missed out on?”
