USA Today Removes Sen. Kennedy's Op-Ed on Trans Athletes

The editorial was taken down due to 'inflammatory language' and lack of adherence to ethical guidelines, according to the publication.

Sen. John Kennedy's op-ed criticized the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports.
USA Today cited 'loaded language' and lack of citations as reasons for removal.
Kennedy's office claims the op-ed had 17 citations and no prior editorial feedback.
Gannett offered Kennedy the opportunity to revise the language but not the viewpoint.
Kennedy accused USA Today of silencing dissenting opinions and acting as 'speech police.'
