U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday criticised Maine
Governor Janet Mills on stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference,
CPAC.
Trump accused Mills of fighting to keep men in women’s
sports.
“You saw Maine yesterday, right? The governor of Maine,”
Trump said, prompting boos from the CPAC audience.
“She’s fighting to keep men in women’s sports. You ever see
what happens when a woman boxes a man who transitioned to womanhood? You ever
see what happens? It’s not pretty.
“Let her do that fight. Let them all do that fight,” Trump
added.
DAILY POST recalls that this comes after the two clashed the
day before at the White House over transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Mills had gone head-to-head with Trump at the National
Governors Association session at the White House on Friday, after the U.S.
President told a group of Republican governors that he would withhold funding
from states refusing to comply with an executive order barring transgender
athletes from competing in women’s and girls’ sports.
Trump directly asked Mills during the session whether the
state would follow the order, to which she responded, “I’m complying with state
and federal law.”
“We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not
going to get federal funding,” Trump replied.
“See you in court,” Mills then responded.
