The Twitter account of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Wednesday said he stands with transgender individuals from his state, a comment that followed President Trumps announcement that he will ban all transgender persons from serving in the United States military.
Responding to a tweet from a grassroots group in Utah that opposes Trump, Hatch's Twitter said yes when asked if the senator stands with members of the transgender community from Utah.
