Elected officials swatted - Calls to override the veto on H.B. 68 go out

News in Focus launches the new year 2024. State Senator Andy Brenner shares his experience of being swatted last week along with State Attorney General Dave Yost and two other elected officials in an apparent attack from the political left. The swatting occurred on the anniversary date of the signing of legislation that stiffens the penalties in the State of Ohio for those who falsely call law enforcement to weaponize the SWAT teams.

Governor DeWine shocked members of his own party when he vetoed the common sense legislation of H.B. 68 the Ohio SAFE Act, legislation that protects women's sports for girls and women in the State of Ohio. It also bans the transgender indoctrination that is going on in public schools and in certain health clinics in Ohio and that is being pushed by children's hospitals. It bans hormone blocking drugs and gender mutilating surgeries on minors. Governor DeWine's veto angered conservatives throughout the state. A cascade of statements was launched by all statewide officeholders, the Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, a number of Ohio House and Senate members, and even President Trump who weighed in and said the following, "DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left. No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won't be introducing him any more, I'm finished with this "stiff." What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women's sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!"

The push is on for the legislature to overturn the Governor's veto of H.B. 68 as soon as possible. Click here to contact your State Representative.
