Mike DeWine's cowardice is what Republicans must move past

Gov. Mike DeWine’s (R-OH) cowardice in the face of transgender activists and liberal media pressure is a characteristic of a weak Republican Party of the past that must be left behind.

DeWine’s decision to veto a bill that would prevent irreversible sex change procedures for children and prevent boys from playing in girls’ sports was a textbook example of Republican cowardice in the face of liberal cultural power. “These are gut-wrenching decisions that should be made by parents and should be informed by teams of doctors who are advising them,” DeWine said while dismissing the sports matters as just being about “four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies.”
