Maine’s Laurel Libby, Censured Over Trans Sports Policy, Gets Last Laugh: ‘I Have Never Apologized’

Maine state Rep. Laurel Libby (R) on Wednesday finally had her voice restored after state Democrats censured the Republican for a post calling out the state’s unpopular transgender sports policy.

Libby announced on X that state Democrats passed a House resolution to fully restore her voting and speaking rights, which were first stripped in February.

“VICTORY!! Democrats CAVE and give my Voice AND Vote back,” she said. “My constituent’s right to representation and my right to free speech should never have been stripped.”

Notably, Libby was told she would have to apologize to Democrats for her Facebook post drawing attention to Maine’s controversial transgender policies if she wanted her voting and speech rights back. 

“I have NEVER apologized and NEVER WILL for speaking up for girls’ sports,” Libby said. 

🚨 VICTORY!! 🚨 Democrats CAVE and give my Voice AND Vote back.

My constituent’s right to representation and my right to free speech should never have been stripped. I have NEVER apologized and NEVER WILL for speaking up for girls’ sports.

Libby filed a lawsuit over the censure, and last month she scored a legal win at the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled to give the Republican back her voting rights as the lawsuit plays out.

“The Democrats caved because they know that they are losing, they are losing in the court of public opinion, they are losing in the literal court, and they have to save face,” Libby said in a video post.

As highlighted by Libby, constituents in Maine — though a liberal state — side with Republicans and President Donald Trump on transgender sports issues: they want to protect female spaces and sports and keep trans-identifying males out.

“This is not over. This all began because I spoke up on behalf of Maine women and girls, who are being discriminated against,” Libby continued. “Their rights have not been assured. This is a Democrat maneuver to try to get themselves out of trouble — but they are still in trouble.”

In Maine, Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is still standing by her position to allow males in girls sports. The Trump administration has sued the state’s Department of Education and frozen federal dollars over that decision.

‘Travesty Of Justice’: Trump Goes Scorched Earth On ‘Witch Hunt’ Targeting Netanyahu

President Donald Trump delivered a scathing rebuke of the state of Israel over the “witch hunt” targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — a case that began in 2020 — is set to move forward on Monday.

Trump made it clear in his post, shared first via his Truth Social platform, that both he and the United States would have Netanyahu’s back — and he called for the case to be dropped immediately, praising the Prime Minister’s recent actions with regard to the conflict with Iran.

“BREAKING NEWS … I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister!” Trump began.

President Trump just posted a long, strong defense of Netanyahu regarding his trial.

The president then pivoted to address Iran and argued that Netanyahu had handled the situation perfectly.

“Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land,” he continued. “Anybody else would have suffered losses, embarrassment, and chaos! Bibi Netanyahu was a WARRIOR, like perhaps no other Warrior in the History of Israel, and the result was something that nobody thought was possible, a complete elimination of potentially one of the biggest and most powerful Nuclear Weapons anywhere in the World, and it was going to happen, SOON!”

“We were fighting, literally, for the Survival of Israel, and there is nobody in Israel’s History that fought harder or more competently than Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump said, turning his attention to the legal case against the Israeli Prime Minister. “Despite all of this, I just learned that Bibi has been summoned to Court on Monday for the continuation of this long running, (He has been going through this ‘Horror Show’ since May of 2020 – Unheard of! This is the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has ever been on trial.), politically motivated case, ‘concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges’ in order to do him great harm.”

Using similar language to what he’d used to describe the legal cases against him in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, Trump continued: “Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me. He deserves much better than this, and so does the State of Israel. Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State.”

“Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the President of the United States, ME, than Bibi Netanyahu,” he concluded. “It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu. THIS TRAVESTY OF ‘JUSTICE’ CAN NOT BE ALLOWED!”
