Nancy Pelosi has slammed the Republicans over their effort to “rip away” health care for transgender service members.
The “disgusting” attempt to restrict Department of Defense funds from being used to provide gender transition treatments is “unprecedented, unacceptable and undermines our national security,” the house minority leader said in a statement Thursday.
The Daily Caller reports:
“Republicans should be ashamed: instead of protecting the men and women who risk their lives to defend our freedoms, they are fighting to rip away the health care of thousands of brave service members,” Pelosi said in a statement. “This cowardly Republican amendment targeting transgender men and women in uniform effectively bans these patriotic Americans from serving their country.”
Missouri GOP Rep. Vicky Hartzler filed an amendment to the House National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which successfully moved through the Rules Committee.
