Dem Sen. Chris Murphy stammers as he gets GRILLED by NYT Opinion Columnist Ross Douthat over his stance on biological males in female sports

MURPHY: "I don’t have any fear of transgender athletes participating in sports."

DOUTHAT: "Wait ... If you had a daughter competing against a biological male, would you find it unfair?"

MURPHY: "I don’t have girls."

DOUTHAT: "Have some empathy for those of us who do. So would you find it unfair?"

MURPHY: "I’ve talked to lots of parents of girls in Connecticut who do not think it’s unfair ... I think everybody can come to their own conclusion."

DOUTHAT: "But your conclusion is ... the official line of liberalism right now."

MURPHY: "Yes, my conclusion is that I would support those athletes being able to participate in my community."
