"We don't believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We've poll tested that, and we're pretty confident that the American people agree," Schweppe says.

And yet they look the other way when taxpayer funds are used for frivolous political stunts like migrant flights, or to defend laws that are so off-the-rails that they're sure to attract lawsuits, etc...

Today's so-called "conservatives" are not the responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars that they claim to be; it's all smoke and mirrors with these people.

That's probably a job requirement:

policy director at the American Principles Project, a conservative political advocacy group that has advocated against transgender policy for years.
