World Series Master Mark Teixeira said he can’t have a conversation with people who say men can become pregnant, citing how the political gap in the United States has grown.
Teixeira, who launched his campaign for the US Representative House last week, said he has no “problem” talking to Democrats about tax rates or national security, but not about men who become pregnant.
“I have no problem talking to you about tax rates or national security or things that might make our country better. But when you say men can get pregnant, where do I go with it?” Teixeira said in a performance on Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich.”

“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 gone off the card that it creates this huge gorge that it’s hard to bridge that hole.”
Former New York Yankees star said people have asked him why he chose to go into politics when it’s so shared. Teixeira said Conservatives have not moved so much longer, while the Democrats “have moved completely from the card to the left.”
Outkicks Dan Dakich said the shift to the left has created a distraction from what is real and Teixeira agreed with this assessment.
“Dan, one of the reasons I’m driving is because people are real. People who need better jobs, people who want lower tax rates, people who want their cities and their streets to be safe, it’s the people I drive for. My district is the most beautiful district in Texas, it’s bakedland, hard -working people,” Teixeira said.

“These men and women, they go to church on Sundays and barbecue afterwards. These are just good patriots, and they want the government to work for them. They will not be controlled by the government or know what to do, be told to wear masks, be told that you cannot go to school, be told that if you build a company, it is because the government built for you.
“I think the American people wake up that America First Agenda is the one who works for them.”

The 45-year-old played for four teams in his big league career. Teixeira debuted with Texas Rangers and spent five seasons with the team before being shopped for Atlanta Braves.
He was later traded to Los Angeles Angels after parts of two seasons with braves and then signed with Yankees.
The five-time Gold Glove winner was an important part of the Yankees team in 2009 that beat Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Teixeira completed her career with a .268 batting average, 409 home runs and 1,298 RBI.
