This is how you put the MAGA bully in his place…
“If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering miscarriages and dying because they can’t get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,” Mills said at an event in Bangor, Maine.
“If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let’s see the economic plan. Let’s see the health care plan. Let’s see the education plan,” she continued.
She took a shot at Trump’s Truth Social habits by saying that she doesn’t communicate with public officials “by social media” and that the Constitution does not permit Trump to “make laws out of gold cloth or by tweet or Instagram posts or press release or executive order.”
“That’s just fundamental law, and I stand for the rule of law and the separation of powers,” she added. “Look, the issue isn’t about transgender sports. People in Maine and across the country are waiting for an economic plan from the current occupant of the White House, and so far we’ve seen none.”
Trump’s demand for an apology came in a Truth Social rant after Mills boldly challenged him during a meeting of governors at the White House. When the president threatened to slash federal funding to states to enforce his trans athlete ban, Mills shouted out “see you in court.”
In addition to the apology, Trump asked for a promise that Governor Mills “will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled.”
Of course, there’s nothing illegal about Mills voicing opposition to Trump’s mounting fascism. His efforts to enforce his will on the states exposes the lie that Republicans support “states’ rights.”
In truth, they only support states’ rights to do exactly what the MAGA cult leader demands.
