Indiana GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb thinks female athletes need to be deprived of opportunities before he bothers to do anything about it.

Holcomb on Monday vetoed a bill that would prevent men from competing in women’s school sports in the state. His reasoning? The bill isn’t even necessary. “It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met,” Holcomb said. “After thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim even if I support the overall goal.”
