Minnesota senator sparks online outrage with tweet about Kavanaugh accusations, Star Tribune, 9/23/18
http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-senator-sparks-online-outrage-with-tweet-about-kavanaugh-accusations/493642311/
State Senator Scott Newman, a Hutchinson Republican, tweeted Monday:

Newman was previously an administrative law judge and deputy sheriff, and the GOP nominee for state attorney general in 2014. He was the lead Senate author of an unsuccessful attempt to require people to use bathrooms and changing rooms that match their biological sex. During that political row, Newman said the transgender communitys assertive opposition to his bill persuaded him that they are not the bullied. They are the bullies.
