In a public reply on X dated May 19, 2026, Steve Tanner responded to a post from the account @TrumpsHurricane that described a woman as a “Liberal Feminist” and quoted her as saying, “My Vagina Has A Voice.”
The post asked followers, “What’s your response to her ??”
Tanner replied:
“really?”
The reply was brief, but it engaged with a post framed around mocking a woman’s statement about bodily autonomy and gendered political expression.
Critics may argue that elected officials should avoid participating in posts that use vulgar or gendered framing to ridicule women, particularly when the subject overlaps with reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and public respect for constituents.
Supporters may interpret Tanner’s response as a short expression of disbelief or disagreement rather than a substantive policy statement.
