there s a similar fight in missouri where there was a big walkout by students who are opposed to essentially a law that is that does what the president is saying he wants school districts to do, to see transgender individuals as they want to be identified and treat them as such. i can give you another tweet by mike huckabee, the former arkansas governor and presidential candidate who responded by saying to the president s directive, it tells you a lot about a man and his priorities when he spends more time pushing transgender bathrooms than he does on improving high school graduation rates or decreasing black-on-black violence. so a very stinging statement there, which gives you an indication of how passionately people feel about this. just to clarify, this is a directive by the departments of education and the justice department. it is not a law or a regulation. so again, it s not something they have to do, but the threat is if they don t, there could be a lot of pressure
presidential. he seems so preoccupied with this stuff when there is a host of important stuff out there he should be dealing with. i think he thinks he is making jokes. i don t think he realizes that as president of the united states, these jokes can have consequences. he just comes off as too impu impulsi impulsive. the crowd that he is playing to are the folks that don t believe in in international deals and global social contract that america has been about in the past. others say he is demeaning the office of the president. let s debrief with ron allen in bridge water, new jersey where the president is spending his fourth of july hold. we also have a congressional reporter from the washington post. ron, the white house is not backing down, this is a presidential statement from the president, essentially, it is because they called it that. the both body slamming a cnn reporter, i guess you could call it. yeah, that is certainly the symbolism of this, katie. t
