New Hampshire’s creepy groomers are beside themselves with glee and likely some young children over Governor Ayotte’s rejection of the bill that would keep men out of women’s bathrooms and porn out of grade school kids’ hands.
They’re GLADD she did it, while the people who might actually vote for her in 2026, assuming she intends to run for re-election, are taking what thin support she had with them and going home. Many of the voices I’ve heard since the stack of vetoes this week are that the only lesson we should take away is that a Democrat governor might be worth the risk to get rid of Ayotte.

That’s what I’m hearing.
This is a lesson Chris Sununu never felt he needed to learn. That you can’t please or appease them, and those Dems that applaud are never going to vote for you. Not ever. And Ayotte doesn’t have even Chris Sununu’s last term dwindling coattails. Sununu received a lot of support from the center and the moderate left, which Ayotte should not count on, and few on the right trusted her after the way she behaved in the US Senate. Still, they held their noses on election day 2024 to keep that nightmare, Joyce Craig, away from the corner office. As 2026 looms sooner than any of us want, Ayotte isn’t making friends with the people on the right she needs to win.
It makes you wonder who she consults for advice on the contentious issues passed on to her for a signature by her Republican-majority legislature—bipartisan bills, in some cases.
Why are Republican Governors so bad on social issues?
I blame the Northeastern strain that proudly elevates unprincipled big government moderates like Phil Scott, Mitt Romney, Charlie Baker, and yes, that Chris Sununu fellow. And I bet they were all nice guys. I hear that about Phil Scott all the time, and not for the last time, I don’t give a shit. I don’t elect politicians to play Pickleball or have a beer by the barbecue. I need those bastards to read the Constitution and protect our natural rights.
There is no natural right to groom grade schoolers with books you can’t show on TV for fear of getting your broadcast license revoked, you invertebrate pieces of crap. That goes for protecting women as well. They have more right to not fear being raped by predators using the lax rules to gain access to them than the man in the dress has to pee in the ladies’ room.
Governor Ayotte chickened out, but there’s good news. We’ve got one more session before the next election, and she may get the chance to reverse course and sign those into law. If you’d like to be governor until 2028, when you can challenge Maggie Hassan to a rematch, my advice is to sign them, or you’ll be considering that Senate run as citizen Ayotte.
Remember, no one “impressed “by those vetoes is going to vote for you. Not ever.
