The left once again decided to make an embarrassing scene at a public event.
GOP nominee for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District, Tony Sabio was talking to constituents at the Arlington County fair, when a deranged transgender fairgoer engaged in a confrontation with him.
The transgender, who is a man pretending to be a woman, approached Sabio and accused him of being “too scared” to associate with President Trump, referring to Trump as “the Big Man.”
“Who said i’m scared?” Sabio fired right back. The transgender would respond by saying “me.”
Sabio then showed the transgender his campaign logo:
“This is my logo of what I feel. I’ve actually served this country for a few decades overseas,” Sabio continued.
Sabio then started to explain his campaign platform:
“So I do truly believe that our greatest days are still ahead of us. So I don’t ride the coattails of anybody. I actually have my own platform on that.”
The transgender responded to Sabio’s explanation sarcastically, saying “You’re so original, aren’t you,” but Sabio enthusiastically agreed that he is original.
The interaction ended with the deranged transgender saying “yeah, fuck you too,” flipping Sabio off, and telling him to have a bad day.

All Sabio did was respectfully try to have a conversation with this person and even offered to show him more of his campaign materials.
Sabio had just finished an interview with the Washington Examiner when the transgender person confronted him. During the interview, he laid out his plans to put Virginia’s 8th district first and highlighted his core values:
“There’s two things I live by, one is my faith as a Christian, and the other one is the Constitution of the United States.”
The Gateway Pundit reached out to Sabio about the situation.
“Nearly everyone I met at the Arlington County Fair reminded me of something important: Americans can disagree without being enemies. One person chose anger over a conversation. I chose a different path,” Sabio told TGP in an exclusive interview.
“I’ll keep extending the olive branch, because America has never been strengthened by shouting each other down. We move forward by listening, standing by our principles, and remembering that we are Americans first.”
Sabio ended the interview by stating that he “still believes in the goodness of the American people” and reaffirmed his campaign message that “our greatest days are still ahead of us.”
That sounds pretty solid. So then why did that transgender person decide to spark a hostile conversation with Sabio?
The Gateway Pundit has spoken with Sabio before. Once at a candidate forum and another at a fundraiser, featuring former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares.
Sabio is challenging long-term Democratic incumbent Don Beyer, D-VA, in the general election this November, running on a platform that invites disagreement and productive conversations with Democratic voters in this deep blue district.
If there is one thing transgender community is good at, it’s publicly displaying that the community is full of the most unhinged, mentally ill people out there.
Transgenderism is a mental illness, and this individual’s behavior towards a candidate with a positive, unifying message further illustrates that point.
It would be a smart idea to stop wasting our energy by attacking the transgender community and painting them as mentally ill. They are really good at doing that themselves.
So why not let them do the heavy lifting for you?
