Andrews, a physician, has previously said she does not support gender-affirming surgery for minors or transgender athletes’ participating in women’s sports.
“Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her,” the president went on.
If you care more about your bills than the politics in Washington, this campaign is for you.'
