The law, which was passed in Minnesota last year, includes language requiring menstrual products to be available in bathrooms of all schools for grades 4 to 12 as a way to accommodate transgender students.
As part of their effort to portray Tim Walz, the new Democratic vice-presidential candidate, as a far-left liberal, the Trump campaign attacked the Minnesota governor on Tuesday for signing a bill last year that provides access to menstrual products for transgender students.
At issue is broadly inclusive language in the law, which states that products like pads, tampons and other products used for menstruation “must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” Republican state lawmakers in Minnesota had tried — and failed — to amend that bill so that it would apply only to “female restrooms,” though some Republicans went on to vote for the final version of bill.
Believe it or not the Conservative rank and file love this kind of attack. My sister, who lives in the states but can’t vote there (and flew back to Canada to have her kids, who needed medical care they could never afford stateside) , Is all on the Trump train and was just last night going on and on about how “there ain’t no boys on my daughters gymnastics team in south Carolina” and “the other side wants tampons in boys washrooms”. They’re so obsessed with it, it’s fucking bizzare.
But honestly I should have known she was getting this from somewhere, the girl has never had an original thought in her life, a personality sponge if I ever saw one, always has been.
