WASHINGTON—Kansas Senator Roger Marshall on Friday announced an endorsement of 4th District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler for the United States Senate race in Missouri.
Earlier this month, Hartzler said she has no plans to delete a transphobic tweet that violated Twitter’s rules against hateful conduct.
Twitter suspended Hartzler’s personal account on saying she won’t be able to tweet, retweet, follow or like posts until she deletes the tweet.
The tweet said: “Women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women,” and included her TV ad targeting transgender people in sports and particularly University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.
Hartzler is among several Missouri Republicans vying for the 2022 Senate seat. Incumbent Republican Roy Blunt announced last year he would not seek a third term. U.S. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri announced his endorsement of Hartzler in February.
