White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasted “anti-trans' legislation threatening kids that “belong to all of us' during an interview on Saturday.
Less than two weeks after a shooting by a transgender assailant, the White House spokeswoman praised trans youth for being "fierce."
"There are more than 600 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation out there. A few hundred of them are anti-trans community, and that matters because we have to call that out. And we’ve never seen this level. It’s historic in the number of pieces of legislation," she said.
