In
response to Senate GOP leadership’s decision to block a vote on a
bipartisan amendment to delay Trump’s transgender military ban, DNC
spokesperson Joel Kasnetz released this
statement:
“Last
night, Republicans picked bigotry over security, and cowardice over
taking a stand. By squashing even this incremental attempt to defend
transgender members of the military
against Trump’s offensive executive order, Mitch McConnell and Senate
Republican leadership are destroying lives and disrespecting the people
who keep them safe.
