U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins, who represents the District of Massachusetts, issued a statement on the situation.
“I will not sit idly by and allow hate-based criminal activity to continue in our District,” Rollins declared in the statement.
Greene had previously appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show and said that she planned to introduce the bill.
“Tomorrow, I will introduce the Protect Children’s Innocence Act to criminalize the child abuse that many call ‘gender-affirming care.'”
“My legislation would immediately make it a felony to subject children to puberty blockers or horrific ‘sex change’ genital surgeries.”
