Former President Trump went after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine ® for vetoing a proposed ban on gender-affirming health care for transgender minors on Saturday.

“DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won’t be introducing him any more. I’m finished with this ‘stiff.’ What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!”

The bill, House Bill 68, also had the aim of preventing transgender women and girls from competing as part of female school sports teams.

The Ohio governor on Friday said he had spent the last two weeks since the bill was delivered to him on a “fact-finding mission,” saying he traveled to the Buckeye State and talked to medical professionals and the families of transgender children. He also said he talked to those who are against treatments like puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy.

    The headline makes it sound like a fistfight, turns out it was just one post on the TwitterButDumber site

        The site Trump tried to promote after being banned from Twitter, Truth Social. It’s just a right wing echo chamber similar to Twitter.
