We’re not sure what Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine thought he was doing. The state legislature sent him a bill banning “gender-affirming care” for minors as well as banning biological males from participating on girls’ sports teams, and DeWine, a Republican, vetoed it, knowing full well the House had the votes to override his veto.
He said the Ohio way was to “follow the evidence,” and that decisions on gender-affirming care were best left up to the people who know best, the parents.
No one was happy with DeWine. Even after vetoing the bill, trans activists claimed that DeWine had crumbled against “domestic terrorism” by the anti-trans mob when he proposed restrictions on adult gender-affirming care, including “lengthy” waiting periods and a team including an “endocrinologist, bioethicist, and psychiatrist.”

This is a no-brainer. DeWine should be ashamed it had to come to this.

If they have the votes they should remove him from office as well

Good to hear that the little man was outvoted. Such an abysmal coward.

Good. He played it this way, though. He knew how it would go. Gets his ass off of whatever hot seat it was sitting on.

Good news for kids. Bad news for useless RINO governors.

There are few things more satisfying than a cowardly Republican governor being overridden by his own legislature on an issue as important as this.
RINO Mike DeWine needs to face a primary challenge.

Every state needs to ban sex change operations for minors and men from competing in women’s sports.
It’s perverse that this even needs to be said — but here we are.

Huge W for sanity and women’s sports

The entire globe knows where he stands on this issue, and they also know he’s absolutely worthless.

DeWine won over absolutely no one with this veto. Even trans activists thought he was gutless.
