Illinois Democrat state representative Bob Morgan suggested the middle school girls who allege they had been forced to change with a transgender student in a locker room had lied about the situation.

During an Illinois General Assembly session Tuesday, Morgan addressed the alleged incident after it was brought to attention by Deerfield resident Nicole Georgas, who filed a federal civil rights complaint after exposing the alleged incident at a school board meeting last week. 

Morgan, who represents Deerfield, addressed the issue in response to it being brought up by Republican state representative Adam Neimerg, who brought up the allegations by Georgas.

In Morgan's response, he called the issue "a lie," while praising his community's and schools' handling of the situation and condemning Neimberg for even bringing the issue up at all.

"I'm really proud of my community who stood up for those who need to be defended and protected, making sure we have great schools, which we do by the way, we have incredible, incredible schools, incredible families, an incredible community that has come together to deal with this situation. Because it's a lie!" Morgan said. 

"So the next time a representative wants to talk about other districts, I understand he might be ashamed and, frankly, probably should be, but instead of standing on this floor taking our time today talking about children, try and talk about your own district."
