A Republican candidate for governor in Utah has been taking to social media to call a new state program offering health benefits to the children of undocumented immigrants "unacceptable," KUTV reports.

State CHIP, as it's called on the Utah Department of Health and Human Services website, is designed to "reduce confusion and fear that may keep the children of immigrant families from accessing critical medical, dental, and mental health services," the website states.

Gov.

Spencer Cox, a Republican, signed Senate Bill 217 last year, and Lyman was one of 64 lawmakers who voted for it.

"[I]t seems odd that a guy running for Governor has magically forgotten what he voted for as a legislator," Utah Sen.

Mike McKell wrote Wednesday on social media, referring to Lyman's history of trying to cast doubt on election security and trying to eliminate voting by mail.

"Who do we hold accountable for your votes as a legislator?" he added.

Lyman hasn't responded to requests for comment.
