Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims says a GOP lawmaker yelled “little girl<\/a>” from the House floor on Thursday while the openly gay<\/a> Democrat was addressing the chamber. <\/p>\n

Sims made news<\/a> this week for a viral, profanity-laced video<\/a> in which he accused GOP leadership of covering up a Republican lawmaker’s COVID-19 diagnosis, potentially exposing him and others to the virus. <\/p>\n

Sims was speaking about the same subject on the House floor Thursday when he said GOP Rep. Jerry Knowles yelled “little girl<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

My colleague @repknowles<\/a> just yelled from the Floor while I was speaking to the House to call<\/a> me a “little girl<\/a>!” The irony of a guy<\/a> from a Party scared to death of women<\/a>, who himself spent years ensuring pedophile priests couldn’t be prosecuted, thinking that’s a slur is thick.<\/p>\n

Hey little girls<\/a>! Run for office. This country NEEDS your leadership. Please check out @emilyslist<\/a>, @RepresentPAC<\/a>, @SheShouldRun<\/a>, @runforsomething<\/a>, and @wgfpa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They’re losing,” Sims wrote later. “I know it doesn’t feel like that after days like this. But their behavior wreaks of fear and failure.” <\/p>\n

Tonight on the floor of the PA House, state Rep. Jerry Knowles (R-Caveman) yelled “little girl<\/a>” at Rep. Brian Sims, a vocal LGBTQ activist. In the process of raising a tough-as-nails little girl<\/a>, I can tell you that his attempt at an insult failed miserably.<\/p>\n

Hey @BrianSimsPA<\/a> I’ve got your six! So does the amazing team of talented women<\/a> helping me to run against @repknowles<\/a>. Rachel, Heather, Jess, Allyssa, my badass Army wife Carrie, and many more! No more running unopposed and consequence free for Rep. Knowles. #LeadershipMatters<\/a><\/p>\n
