Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fired back at President Joe Biden over his comments criticizing the state’s efforts to protect children from “gender-affirming care” as “close to sinful” and “cruel.”

“It is not ‘sinful’ to prohibit the mutilation of minors,” the Republican governor wrote on Twitter on March 14. “It is not acceptable for the federal government to mandate that procedures like sex change operations be allowed for kids.”
