League of American Workers President Steve Cortes said U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) has requested funding for a "LGBTQ support center" with "a history of sexual abuse allegations" as part of the 2025 congressional budget. 

“Bob Casey requested $400,000 in taxpayer dollars be given to a local LGBTQ center that advocates for transitioning children and has a history of sexual abuse allegation,” Cortes said in a post on X. “Pennsylvanians, vote this man out of office.”

Bob Casey is a Democrat U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. He has recommended funding as part of the congressional budget for the 2025 fiscal year, providing $400,000 for the Mazzoni Center. 

The Mazzoni Center is a “LGBTQ health and wellness center” in Philadelphia. The center's then-medical director Dr. Robert Winn resigned in 2017 after allegations were made that he had sexual relationships with patients of the center. The center provides "hormone therapy and sex-change surgeries", as well as unnamed medical procedures on cross-dressing minors, reported Daily Caller.

Casey was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He and his wife currently live in Scranton. They have four daughters together.  Casey graduated from the College of the Holy Cross and received a law degree from Catholic University. 

He was elected to his first term as U.S. Senator in 2007, after serving as Pennsylvania State Treasurer and Pennsylvania Auditor General. He is running for reelection, and is on the ballot for the Pennsylvania primary on April 23, 2024.

Cortes, who founded LAW in 2022 with the mission of promoting "policies to protect the priorities of laborers," was a spokesman and advisor to President Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns. He previously traded global currencies and interest rates for 25 years for large international hedge funds. He has been an on-air broadcaster for CNBC, Fox News, and CNN.
