Former President Donald Trump is done supporting Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
DeWine, a fellow Republican, made news on Friday when he vetoed a bill banning transgender surgeries on children and the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
The bill overwhelmingly passed the state legislature, but DeWine said he could not sign it “as it is currently written.”
Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, was not pleased.
The Daily Caller continues:
“DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “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,” Trump continued. “The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!”
The issue of biological males competing in women’s sports after identifying as transgender became controversial in the United States following University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas’s participation in the 2022 NCAA championships. The biological male, who previously ranked at #462 as a male swimmer, won the 500-yard women’s final and placed highly in other events.
Many Republicans criticized DeWine over the veto, including Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose of Ohio.
