"President Obama has said he's not the one making a big deal over transgender bathrooms.
The President was holding a town hall meeting in Indiana when he was asked why he is making a "big deal" of bathrooms in public schools."

I find it amusing, in a dark kind of way, that the people making a big deal of it are telling our supporters that THEY'RE making a big deal of it because they don't like the response they got from the federal government.

Totally Dee - We just want to take a fundamental right away from some people and use the resulting fear to political ends...Why are you making a big deal out of that?

Unless I misunderstood I found it necessary to exchange "they" for "we" in that sentence in order to parse it. I'm certainly not trying to take anyone's fundamental rights away.
