Former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has linked President Trump’s surprising election victory to the issue of transgender bathroom use.
On April 1, she was a guest on a radio program called 'Understanding the Times with Jan Markell' where she said about Trump’s win, “I think the American people...recognized that this was the last exit ramp for the country and if we were not going to see a political change, if Hillary Clinton was going to continue and double down on the policies of Barack Obama, I think people just saw no hope that the United States would return to a position of Judeo-Christian morality.”
She added, “Because we were in a situation where the president of the United States on his own just issued a sheet of paper and said, overnight, every single public school in the country would have to have the girls’ bathrooms open to the boys and the boys’ bathrooms open to the girls…”
Bachmann was referring to a letter sent out by the Obama administration last May which stated in a section titled 'Restrooms and Locker Rooms' that a school “must allow transgender students access to such facilities consistent with their gender identity.”
The former Minnesota Representative, who has long been an outspoken opponent of same sex marriage and other LGBTQ issues, then said on the radio program, “We know that [Trump’s election] just wasn’t in the natural. This was in the supernatural where God sovereignly, I believe, answered the prayers of believers beseeching him and he’s given us a reprieve.”
In February, "the Trump administration...withdrew Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools that let them use bathrooms and facilities corresponding with their gender identity," notes CNN.
