Wes Allen (R),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/electwesallen.com\/\">a candidate<\/a> for Alabama\u2019s open Secretary of State office this election cycle, dismissed Psaki\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have gotten calls today about the fact that Jen Psaki criticized my passage of the Vulnerable Child Protection Act in the Alabama legislature yesterday,\u201d Allen said in a statement. \u201cFirst and foremost, I was elected to represent my district, and Psaki has not been elected by anyone to represent anyone and secondly, I could not care less what Psaki and the Biden Administration think about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Alabama Legislature also passed legislation that required public school students use the bathroom assigned to the gender listed on their birth certificate. In addition to that provision, an amendment was added to that bill by Alabama State Sen. Shay Shelnutt (R) that mimics Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education law.<\/p>\n<p>The House sponsor of that bill, Alabama State Rep. Scott Stadthagen (R), also rejected the White House\u2019s rhetoric and advised the Biden administration to \u201cstay in their lane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Tenth Amendment is clear on the role of the federal government as opposed to the state government,\u201d Stadthagen said to Breitbart News. \u201cThe federal government has no constitutionally defined role in this matter, so the Biden administration should stay in their lane and fix the messes they have caused at our border instead of focusing on legitimately passed bills in Alabama.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Thursday\u2019s White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki threatened Alabama legislators behind a recently passed bill prohibiting transgender conversion therapy for minors under 19.
