The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, blasted Trump’s remarks, calling them “the sad, disgusting, pathetic diatribes of a lame duck president with record-low approvals.”

Sarmiento → blast → statement
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., condemned Trump’s words Monday night, calling his attacks on Andrews “despicable.”
“Annie Andrews is a mom and pediatrician who’s always put her community first — and she’s exactly who South Carolina needs representing them in the Senate,” Schumer said on X.
Andrews, a physician, has previously said she does not support gender-affirming surgery for minors or transgender athletes’ participating in women’s sports.
