GOP Representative Calls for ‘Civil Disobedience’ Over Obama’s Transgender Bathroom Directive
President Barack Obama’s directive on transgender bathroom use has been met with a lot of opposition, and now Republican Rep. Steve King (Iowa) is calling for “civil disobedience” in response to the new guidelines.
“We should call for civil disobedience here,” King told 1040 WHO radio host Simon Conway, of Des Moines, Iowa, Tuesday. “And there’s no reason for us to follow an unconstitutional edict from the president, who is on his way out the door.”
The new White House guidelines, which Conway said would discourage his own daughters from using gym showers, mandates public schools “must allow transgender students access to such facilities consistent with their gender identity.”
“Well, and that will probably change our culture,” the representative said of the policy. “We’ll have a bunch of sweaty women around.”
