Summary
A Republican congressional candidate in Delaware, Joseph Arminio, was forcibly removed from a Jewish Federation forum after repeatedly misgendering Congresswoman Sarah McBride—calling her “gentleman” despite warnings. McBride, who didn’t want him ejected, said she believes people reveal their true selves and has faced similar disrespect before, including in a 2025 committee hearing. Meanwhile, fellow candidate Dr. Mike Katz condemned Arminio’s behavior, apologized on his behalf, and called for his withdrawal from the race—a rare rebuke even within the GOP. Arminio, who just won his primary and is running his first campaign in Delaware (though he previously ran in Maryland in 2028), now faces mounting pressure as this incident underscores the stakes of respect and representation in modern politics.
