White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasted “anti-trans" legislation threatening kids that “belong to all of us" during an interview on Saturday.
"There are more than 600 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation out there. A few hundred of them are anti-trans community, and that matters because we have to call that out. And we’ve never seen this level. It’s historic in the number of pieces of legislation," she said. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Jean-Pierre said, "I’ve met a lot of parents of trans kids in the past couple of months who have told me these devastating stories, whether they’re in Texas or Oklahoma or wherever they are, saying how they now have to seriously consider leaving their state to protect their child. That’s something that we have to call out and continue to be very clear about. These are kids. These are our kids. They belong to all of us."
