Liberal media blast DeSantis' transgender athletes bill: 'This is disgusting'

The mainstream media were up in arms Tuesday over Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, signing a new law limiting girls' sports at public schools to biological girls.

Liberal media outlets were outraged with DeSantis' public signing of the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, which he said would help protect equal opportunities for women to obtain college athletic scholarships. Reporters appeared to take personal offense with the fact that the bill was signed into law June 1, the first day of Pride Month. 

"Florida governor Ron DeSantis continues his quest to become the pretender to the MAGA throne," MSNBC host Joy Reid said during her show Tuesday night. "He banned transgender women athletes from participating in sports on the first day of Pride Month, nonetheless," she added, before taking shots at his "derelict handling of the pandemic."
