Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., took aim at Maine Gov. Janet Mills for refusing to ban trans athletes in girls’ sports on Wednesday.
During an interview on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich,” Tuberville laid heavy criticism on Mills after a week of national controversy for her feud with President Donald Trump over his “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order and her state’s refusal to comply with it.
“With that governor of Maine just being a total a–, to be honest with you, to the president of the United States, when he’s already said, ‘This is not going to happen,’ and she said, ‘Well, I’ll take you to court,’ and he said, ‘Well, I’ll see you in court, because I happen to run the federal government,'” Tuberville said.
“It just shows you how egotistical these people are, and it’s just common sense that you don’t do this.”
When Trump signed the executive order on Feb. 5, he vowed that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would prohibit any transgender athletes attempting to compete as women from entering the country for the Olympics in 2028.
Trump said he will instruct Noem “to deny any and all visa applications made by men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes.”
