HILARIOUS! “What is a Birthing Person?” – Rep Brandon Gil Humiliates Leftist Witness Defending Government Waste in DOGE Hearing, Can’t Answer Whether a “Birthing Person” is a Woman: “That is Outside of My Expertise”

Senior Advisor for Economic Policy at Groundwork Collaborative, Emily DiVito, and Rep. Brandon Gil (R-TX) face off in DOGE Subcommittee hearing

Rep. Brandon Gil (R-TX), during a House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, dressed down the Democrats’ radical left witness, exposing that she is nothing but a far-left hack who doesn’t care about wasteful spending in government.

The hearing, titled “Locking in the DOGE Cuts: Ending Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for Good,” was focused on implementing Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts.

Emily DiVito, Senior Advisor for Economic Policy at Groundwork Collaborative, was invited to testify for the Democrats about how “harmful” reductions in federal agency spending are for the American people.

However, as Gil masterfully demonstrated, she was totally clueless!

Rep. Gil decimated DiVito with questions about grants for research on “birthing people,” ” women and nonbinary mathematicians,” pregnancy prevention for transgender boys, “the racialized basis of trait judgments from faces,” and cross sex steroid therapy and cardiovascular risk in the transgender female.

Refusing to answer Gil’s specific questions about wasteful spending, she simply maintained that “all kinds of government research” is necessary, no matter how useless the topic.

Most notably, she couldn’t even define what a birthing person is when questioned on government-funded research for behavioral health among women and birthing people. “That is outside of my expertise,” she said in response to Gil asking, “is a birthing person a woman? Is that another word for a female?”

Watch the full exchange below:


Transcript below:Gil: Ms. DiVito, Thank you for coming here. In your testimony, you said that Americans deserve a government that works for them, a government that makes their lives easier and more secure. Is that correct?

DiVito: Yes sir.

Gil: I’d like to read, read through a couple of the grants that DOGE has pulled back, and I’d like to get your take on them. They pulled back a one and a half million dollar NIH grant to Morehouse College. It was called the center to advance reproductive justice and behavioral health among black pregnant/postpartum women and birthing people. Do you think that that makes Americans lives easier and more secure?

DiVito: I think that medical and scientific research of all types—

Gil: Do you think that constitutes critical research? According to your testimony, NIH grants are critical research.

DiVito: I think that government research of all types in the medical—

Gil: Including of birthing people?

DiVito: I think bench research of all types, plays a fundamental–

Gil: What is a birthing person?

DiVito: Sir, I am here to talk about the DOGE impact.

Gil: I’m asking you about this grant, and you’re defending it. So I’m asking you what, what is, who is birthing people?

DiVito: I am not familiar with this grant. I take a position that all kinds of government research of medical, pharmaceutical, biological—

Gil: Is a birthing person a woman? Is that another word for a female?

DiVito: That is outside of my expertise.

Gil: That seems like erasure language to me. I’ve been told that that type of vernacular constitutes erasure language. How about another one, how about the conference, Gender Equity in the Mathematical Study of Commutative Algebra? Do you think that’s a valid form of government spending?

DiVito: I think mathematical research of all types is deserving of government—

Gil: What about studying, and this is directly from the National Science Foundation’s website, women and nonbinary mathematicians?

DiVito: Again, I think all kinds of government investment should be dedicated towards mathematical, scientific–

Gil: All kinds of government investment? You don’t have any kind of limit on what we’re spending our money on, just everything? Is that your testimony?

DiVito: I am talking about Doge. You brought up—

Gil: So am I. This is a grant that DOGE cut.

DiVito: I’m not familiar with this particular grant, and I think government investment and mathematical, biological–

Gil: Okay, let’s do another one. This one is called #transcendenthealth, adapting an LGB+ inclusive teen Pregnancy Prevention Program for transgender boys. I can’t even say this without laughing. Do you think that that is a useful form of our tax spend?

DiVito: I’m not familiar with that grant, but I think bench research, government investment in scientific and farming research–

Gil: Teen pregnancy for transgender boys? Do you think that that is a useful spend of our tax dollars?

DiVito: I think government investment in all kinds of scientific research is of the utmost importance.

Gil: Including pregnancy prevention for transgender boys. Okay, let me ask you, we can come back to this later, maybe. Do you support abolishing the filibuster, still?

DiVito: I’m here to talk about DOGE, respectfully.

Gil: Right. We could abolish the filibuster and get a lot of Doge cuts through. And you’ve written, at length, on your Twitter about abolishing the filibuster. I’m just curious if you think that we should do that still.

DiVito: I did a lot of previous work on different topics because I am an economic policy expert, and respectfully, I’m here to talk about DOGE cuts.

Gil: Okay, but we could abolish the filibuster and get DOGE cuts. This is totally germane here. Do you think we should?

DiVito: I am here to talk about DOGE cuts, not strategies for achieving more of them, but the harm that they have produced for working families.

Gil: That’s a convenient change of opinion. I noticed that most of your comments about the filibuster were during the Biden administration, but we can move on. Let’s go back to some more of these grants. Do you think that we should be spending money on “the racialized basis of trait judgments from faces”?

DiVito: I am not at all familiar with that grant.

Gil: It’s a $500,000 NSF grant.

DiVito: Okay, I am not familiar with the subject matter—

Gil: But you’re defending these.

DiVito: I am saying that I think the government—

Gil: You’re pretty adamant against DOGE cuts, and I’m asking you, if you support the cuts that DOGE has found.

DiVito: I think that there’s economic and medical public health communal benefit–

Gil: What about cross sex steroid therapy and cardiovascular risk in the transgender female?

DiVito: Again, I think government investment in scientific research is important.
