The mask is slipping.

In key midterm Senate races, so-called “moderate” Democrats are embracing extremism — defending policies that put men in women’s sports and radical ideology ahead of the will of voters.

It’s an interesting turnabout for a political party that spent millions of dollars the last few cycles to convince women they were the party of “women’s rights” and “reproductive freedom” only to succumb to the demands of radical gender activists who can't explain what women even are — who want to erode the sanctity of female-only spaces and erase women and girls.

Two of the Democrat battleground poster boys, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and former Gov. Roy Cooper (D-N.C.), will have to explain why they have adopted the extreme gender ideology of the far left, rather than the common sense principles of the voters who live in their states.

In Georgia, although 73 percent of voters who do not want biological men competing in women’s sports, Ossoff voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in the Senate, choosing instead to erase women’s sports and silence female athletes.
