The organization’s board of directors changed its rules to laws that treat the law as “harmful” to the LGBTQ population and does not guarantee the rules of playing the national anthem before each event.
Turner responded to the latest policy changes in U.S. fences, an exclusive statement to Fox News numbers.
“American fencing has fallen into the hands of unpatriotic tyrants who put obscure politics as well-known before promoting the sport across the country. Whether the national anthem should be encountered. Whether it should be questioned. Whether the state is excluded from the national championship selection process, because their abortion and LGBT policies are ridiculous and have nothing to do with the fence.”
“It makes me wonder if these policies have become the right place to punish conservatives and red states. Major strategies are needed in the leadership of the U.S. fence and audits of its social media and online platforms.”

Turner left the U.S. fence race after refusing to receive a 12-month probation sentence at Cherry Blossom Open, Maryland in late March.
But there is a consequence of the dispute Impact on the organization Its policies are immediately.
The U.S. Fence announced in late April that it is preparing to change its gender qualification policy. The proposed updated policy ensures that the women’s category “will be open to female athletes only.” The men’s category “will be open to all other athletes eligible for competition.”
However, the new policy has not yet been formally formulated.
The incident involving Turner also prompted President Donald Trump’s administration and a congressional hearing in May to hold an IX championship.
US fencing chairman Damien Lehfeldt is in the Republican lawmakers’ Ministry of Government Efficiency (Doge) Subcommittee’s “Game of Unfairness: Movement to Separate Men from Women” was heard on May 7.
After the hearing, Turner told Fox News that she would push herself and her platform to resign among the leading leaders of the U.S. Fence.
“I’m honestly going to work hard to quit. I’d like to see some people resign, especially public comments that are harassing and intending to humiliate the women, mothers and daughters in question,” Turner said.
At a hearing by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the group’s policy of prioritizing the state is a special review.
“For example, when selecting sites for the site for their national fencing incidents, the board policy was to avoid its laws and policies against LGBTQ rights and abortion. It uses ‘Equality Maps’ to determine which countries blacklist from their competition and which countries are favorable,” Green said. “This ends up favoring many blue states and hurting many red states. So it creates politically determined winners and losers — but that has nothing to do with fencing.”
Previous host field policies listed many states on the “Not allowed” list, namely Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Tennessee and Texas.
States on their “avoid where possible” list include Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Indiana, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi, Close, Close, Close, Close, Close, Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
The group now claims that events will be held in several of the states next year.
“We combine several overlapping documents into a policy that bids for each of them at cost, security and travel convenience (regardless of state). The next season’s national event will span nine states, including Texas, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Virginia, Virginia, Oregon, Tennessee, Tennessee and Nevada.”
