Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb vetoed a bill, HEA 1041, on Monday, that would prohibit biological male athletes who identify as females from participating in women’s sports in schools. This comes at the same time as the controversy surrounding University of Pennsylvania swimmer William “Lia” Thomas’ participation in the NCAA swimming championships, where Thomas competed against biological females and won.
A report from the Associated Press noted that Holcomb previously signaled support for the bill. In his veto letter, he wrote that the legislation “falls short” when it comes to fairness in K-12 sports in the state. He noted in the letter that other states that have enacted similar legislation have faced lawsuits, and that “the issues raised in these lawsuits” should have been brought forward to be addressed.

They’re all Deep State.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct!
Gotta stop saying “biological xxxx”. You are either male or female. To say biological xxxx implies there are other types. There simply aren’t.
What a dope.
Honestly, I more than half expected this from Holcomb. He is the definition of limp-spined establishment creature.
“I’ll continue to point out that Democrats are not our worst enemies. RINOs are.”
I have to agree. Nothing worse than being shot by “friendly fire”.
Reason number 256,891 why I’m not a Republican.
Joe Rogan’s deep state buddies.
If I were a young man, I would definitely be a star HS athlete with a solid path to a college scholarship. Sorry girls! You’re not making the team this year!
Please override that veto!
This is why we need to stop allowing Deep State to pick our candidates for us.
And we need to find and run MAGA candidates in every party primary, no matter the party involved.
Fellow travelers everywhere we look...
The communist infestation grows exponentially...
Call it what you will, “deep state” or “uniparty”.
It is what it is.
Yet another example of “enemy within”
So, just curious...what was in the bill that he found objectionable? Did he say?
Hey, they preceded the Bush's.
Ok... But does he have a point? Noem was able to get a clean bill passed in South Dakota finally... Is it something similar here?
A sh*t bill is a sh*t bill and not necessarily indicative of “RINO”-ness. Of course, it could be both... a RINO vetoing a sh*t bill... Not as up on Indiana politics as I am my neighboring States.
What is Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb afraid of?
If this thread goes the way other similar threads have gone...
Asking that will fall on deaf ears. You MUST instantly agree and not ask the important questions.
Frankly, it’s embarrassing we need LAWS to keep mutilated males from competing in women’s sports at all.
