Sen. Cory Booker vowed on Sunday that if he is elected president he will put transgenders into the United States military.
Booker was speaking at an event in Davenport, Iowa, and was asked by an individual in the crowd about “LGBTQ rights.”
The Associated Press reported the exchange as follows:
“Speaking to a crowd of more than 300 voters in Davenport, the New Jersey senator answered a question posed by a woman who identified herself as transgender about what he would do to protect LGBTQ rights as president.
“‘When I am president of the United States, right away I will end this ridiculous, insulting, un-American ban on transgender Americans serving in the military,’ he said to cheers from the crowd.”
