Paxton also targeted Penn swimmer Lia Thomas Friday night.
Paxton tweeted out a photo of Levine from USA Today that featured the headline “Meet these exceptional Women of the Year,” and wrote, “Rachel Levine is a man.”
Levine is the nation’s highest-ranking transgender official and is the first female and openly transgender four-star admiral.

However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s best interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”Paxton, whose tweet drew swift backlash on the social media platform, did not only target Levine to close out the week.
That tweet, too, drew swift backlash on the social media platform but was still up, and unflagged, late into the night.he issued last month that said providing gender-affirming medical care to minors in Texas is considered child abuse under Texas law. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott affirmed Paxton’s opinion, and the state subsequently opened nine investigations before a judge issued a temporary injunction last week.in response to his remarks about Levine.
