Legislature Censures Rep. Laurel Libby for Pointing out Male Trans Athlete who won Girls' Competition

Jackson Thompson, Fox News 

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.
