Democrats preserve taking a move when pressed to outline “woman,” and so Republicans preserve asking.

The newest occasion occurred at a House Appropriations Committee listening to Tuesday, when Education Secretary Miguel Cardona repeatedly skirted questions by Rep. Andrew Clyde, Georgia Republican, who requested, “Can you please define for me: What is a woman?”

“Our focus at the department is to provide equal access to students, including students who are LGBTQ, access free from discrimination,” Mr. Cardona stated.

Asked a second time, Mr. Cardona stated the query was “almost secondary” to his “important role” heading the Education Department.

Mr. Clyde tried a 3rd time saying: “My question is not secondary. My question is very simple. What does [the Department of Health and Human Services] say the definition of a woman is?”

Said Mr. Cardona: “I lead the Education Department, and my job is to make sure that all students have access to public education, which includes co-curricular activities.”

“I think you highlighted pretty well the importance of Title IX in giving students equal access,” Mr. Cardona added.

Mr. Clyde wrapped it up by saying: “So you’re not going to answer my question.”

The “what is a woman” change was reminiscent of final yr’s change between Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican, and then-Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, who replied, “I’m not a biologist.”

Her response grew to become a nationwide punch line. She was in the end confirmed by the Senate.
