On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump slammed 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.
It should be recalled that this followed a confrontation between the two at the White House the previous day over the issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

Mills had confronted Trump during the National Governors Association session at the White House on Friday, after the U.S. President warned Republican governors that states defying his executive order— which prohibits transgender athletes from competing in women’s and girls’ sports— would face funding cuts.
During the session, Trump directly questioned Mills on whether the state would comply with the order, to which she replied, “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.
