Sara Gideon, one of Joe Biden’s supporters who made an appearance at the recent virtual Democratic National Convention, is a far-left politician from Maine who many are unaware led the charge in her state to kill a legislative bill that would have outlawed a gruesome form of sexual abuse known as female genital mutilation.

According to Gideon, it is “racist” to tell Muslims and black people from Africa – these being the two groups that mutilate female genitals the most – that they cannot sever the clitorises of their infant girls while sewing their vaginas closed. The tolerant thing to do, in Gideon’s view, is to continue to allow the practice unabated.
