There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present, the Democrats.

I mean, I'm all for criticizing Democrats, but this is a very easy claim to make and it could mean nothing at all. "Tom Hanks did not immediately respond to accusations of homicide." Sounds damning but it doesn't really tell us anything.

That's kind of fair, but this is also not a story that just came out of no where. They'd been telegraphing this for days. Have someone ready with a statement. Or just someone who can speak well off the cuff without running a strategy meeting and a focus group. An organization that is fundamentally partially about messaging shouldn't be unable to get their preferred message into a news story.

New York congressman Tom Suozzi, a Democrat, who recently argued that "the Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left ... I don't want to discriminate against anybody, but I don't think biological boys should be playing in girls' sports." Other Democratic lawmakers have made similar claims in the wake of Harris' loss.

Cool. Make all bathrooms across the country gender neutral. That'll provide a lot of labor jobs, and then stupid people can't make stupid bathroom claims anymore.
Also, the "boys in girls sports" is just a straw man, and people who believe it should be ignored and voted out.
