Top Arizona lawmaker spotlights ‘adorable moment’ as Trump signed women’s sports executive order
Arizona’s Senate president, Republican Sen. Warren Petersen, recently spoke to Fox News Digital after attending President Donald Trump’s signing of the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order. Petersen described the moment as “incredible” for female athletes nationwide, emphasizing the significance of the executive order in protecting girls’ sports.
According to Petersen, the impact of the executive order is immense, as it reinforces the importance of ensuring that only biological girls participate in women’s sports. He praised the multi-pronged approach taken to address this issue, including the passing of laws, litigation in the courts, and now the executive order interpreting Title IX to distinguish between boys and girls in sports. Petersen highlighted the consequences for violating this distinction, such as the loss of federal funding and potential investigations.
Citing recent polling data, Petersen noted that 70% of Americans support the protection of girls’ sports, reflecting a widespread sentiment in favor of maintaining fairness and integrity in athletic competition. He attributed the success of the executive order to President Trump’s commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises and addressing the concerns of American voters.
Petersen expressed his excitement over the executive order’s impact on female athletes, describing it as a significant step towards restoring fairness and opportunity in sports for girls and women. He emphasized the need to prevent boys from competing in girls’ sports, acknowledging the detrimental effects it has on female athletes who work hard to achieve their goals.
During the signing of the executive order, Petersen witnessed a heartwarming moment as young female athletes surrounded President Trump in a show of solidarity and appreciation. He described the scene as a moment of relief and gratitude, signaling the end of a long-standing battle for fairness in sports.
As a candidate for attorney general in Arizona, Petersen reaffirmed his commitment to defending laws that protect women’s sports, including the Save Women’s Sports Act currently under review by the Supreme Court. He criticized the lack of support from the state’s attorney general and vowed to continue fighting for the rights of female athletes in Arizona.
In conclusion, Petersen commended President Trump for his swift action in addressing the issue of transgender female athletes in women’s sports, highlighting the positive impact of fulfilling campaign promises and prioritizing the concerns of American voters. He pledged to uphold the principles of fairness and integrity in athletics and urged others to join the fight for equality in sports.
