The Maine House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Laurel Libby [pictured left] Tuesday night for a recent social media post pointing out that a transgender  high school athlete won a girls' competition. 

The Maine House's Democratic majority, led by Speaker Ryan Fecteau, passed the censure resolution Tuesday night in a 75-70 vote. Libby is now no longer allowed to speak on the house floor or vote until she issues an apology. 

Libby told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview after the vote that she does not plan to apologize for her recent post.

After the censure had been determined, Fecteau told Libby that the House members would take a break while Libby considered her apology. 

"I told him, ‘We do not need to take ease’ as I was going to continue speaking up for Maine girls," Libby said. 

Pam Bondi Fires Warning Shot At Maine Over Women’s Sports

Attorney General Pam Bondi [pictured right] warned Maine on Tuesday that it must comply with federal law protecting girls’ sports from males.

Bondi issued letters to officials in Maine, Minnesota, and California following pushback from left-wing lawmakers and state officials who have refused to comply with the president’s executive order banning men from women’s sports and spaces.

“This Department of Justice will defend women and does not tolerate state officials who ignore federal law,” Bondi said Tuesday. “We will leverage every legal option necessary to ensure state compliance with federal law and President Trump’s Executive Order protecting women’s sports.”

Her letter reminds these officials that Trump’s executive order states that allowing men and boys to compete in women’s and girls’ sports is “demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls.”
