Former White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, has accused the Democratic Party of pursuing "insane" policies that have left them at odds with many Americans, including biological men playing women's sports and other transgender issues. In a video posted to social media, Emanuel accused Democrats of "undercutting" women and losing "culture wars" with their aggressive stance on these issues. He also questioned why Democrats are prioritizing bathroom access and locker room access over classroom excellence. The issue of biological males who identify as transgender competing in women’s sports became a national topic following a recent NCAA championship win by a biological male.
