The Republican primary for North Dakota’s at-large congressional seat is set for June 11, and one candidate seems to be growing increasingly desperate.
Rick Becker, a plastic surgeon who ran as an independent for the U.S. Senate in 2022 following his unsuccessful attempt to secure the Republican nomination at the state GOP convention, paid $350 to transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney to create a campaign ad attacking his conservative opponent, Julie Fedorchak.
Fedorchak is endorsed by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND), both staunch allies of President Trump.
Meanwhile, Becker has garnered endorsements from Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Chip Roy (R-TX), all of whom supported Governor Ron DeSantis in his unsuccessful attempt to prevent Trump’s reelection.
Mulvaney, a biological man who pretends to be a woman, rose to greater public prominence after interviewing President Joe Biden in 2022. During their discussion, they criticized Republican-led states for imposing restrictions on medical procedures for transgender minors.
Biden remarked during the interview: “In some states, it’s just outrageous, and I think it’s immoral. The trans part isn’t immoral; what they’re attempting to do to trans individuals is immoral.”
Mulvaney has disclosed he had surgery to make his facial structure more feminine. Although it’s uncertain whether Rick Becker has conducted similar transgender-friendly procedures in his practice, his website lists specialization in breast and vaginal surgeries.
During his tenure in the North Dakota legislature in 2019, Becker opposed a resolution calling on Congress and President Biden to allocate funds for the border wall’s construction and enforce federal immigration laws.
Becker stood out as one of the few legislators who voted against tougher penalties for child abuse and measures aimed at strengthening laws against indecent exposure and sexual abuse involving children.
