The World Series champion, Mark Teixeira, said that he could not have a conversation with people who say that men can get pregnant, citing how political fracture in the United States has developed.
Teixeira, who launched his campaign for the United States House of Representatives last week, said that he had “no problem” to speak to Democrats about tax rates or national security, but not men who fall pregnant.
“I have no problem telling you about tax rates or national security or things that may improve our country. But when you say that men can get pregnant, where should I go with that?” Teixeira declared in an appearance on “don’t @ me with Dan Dakich d’Outkick”.

“I can’t have a conversation with you if that’s what you really believe, and I think so many people on the left have left the card that this creates this huge fracture, that it is difficult to fill this gap.”
The former New York Yankees star said that people asked him why he had chosen to go to politics when he is so divided. Teixeira said that the conservatives have not moved much further to the right, while the Democrats “have completely left the card to the left”.
Dan Dakich of Outkick said that change to the left has created a distraction of what is real, and that Teixeira agreed with this evaluation.
“Dan, one of the reasons for which I run is because people are real. People who need better jobs, people who want lower tax rates, people who want their cities and streets to be safe, it is the people for whom I run. My district is the most beautiful district of Texas, it is the country of the hills, people who work hard,” said Teixira.

“These men and women, they go to church on Sunday and barbecue thereafter. They are only good patriots and they want the government to work for them. They do not want to be controlled by the government or be informed of what to do, be said to wear masks, tell you that you cannot go to school.
“I think the American people wake up, that the America First Agenda is the one who works for them.”

The 45 -year -old man played for four teams in his career in the major league. Teixeira made his debut with the Texas Rangers and spent five seasons with the team before being exchanged to the Braves of Atlanta.
He was then exchanged at the Angels of Los Angeles after parts of two seasons with the Braves, then signed with the Yankees.
The five -time winner of Gold Glove was a key element of the 2009 Yankees team which beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Teixeira ended his career with an average of the stick of .268, 409 circuits and 1,298 products produced.
