The Twitter account of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Wednesday said he stands with transgender individuals from his state, a comment that followed President Trump’s announcement that he will ban all transgender persons from serving in the United States military.

Responding to a tweet from a grassroots group in Utah that opposes Trump, Hatch's Twitter said “yes” when asked if the senator stands with members of the transgender community from Utah.

The tweet appears to oppose President Trump’s announcement early Wednesday that he will ban transgender persons from all military service.

"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," Trump announced on Twitter.
