This is the best summary I could come up with:
Natalie Cline, who has previously come under investigation for inflammatory comments about LGBTQ+ students, singled out the Salt Lake City athlete in a since-deleted Facebook post that falsely insinuated the girl was transgender.
“We were stunned to learn of the unconscionable behavior of board member Cline and others toward a high school student today,” Cox and Henderson said in their joint statement late Wednesday.
He vetoed a transgender athlete ban but approved legislation like the new bathroom law that critics say has given people such as Cline license to scrutinize others in public and direct vitriol at anyone whose gender expression gives them pause.
Cox’s brand of socially conscious conservatism has led to past sparring matches with Republican legislative leaders and has sometimes placed him at odds with the national party as it has shifted further right and zeroed in on transgender people.
Republican legislative leaders have not signaled whether they would support impeachment, but Senate President Stuart Adams said Thursday he was “looking at all options” to address Cline’s “reprehensible” behavior.
The Granite School Board will hold a special meeting Friday to discuss a resolution condemning Cline for targeting one of its students.
