FIGHTING FOR WOMEN: AG Bondi Announces Lawsuit Against Maine for Defying Trans Athlete Order [WATCH]

“We will not sit by…”

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday morning that the Trump DOJ will sue the state of Maine for defying the president’s order on allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports.

Bondi was joined at the press conference by conservative activist Riley Gaines and fencer Stephanie Turner, who recently drew viral attention to the issue of trans inclusion in women’s fencing with a clip of her kneeling in protest of a trans opponent.

“The Department of Justice will not sit by when women are discriminated against in sports,” Bondi said at a press conference. “… What they have been through is horrific.”

“We want to get states to comply with us,” Bondi added.

From Fox News:

Bondi said they were seeking an injunction and have titles returned to the girls who “rightfully” won competitions in which trans athletes participated in.

Turner spoke about the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the state to Fox News Digital.

“It’s sad that this has to be a political issue, and I think this was a missed opportunity by the Democrats to garner support among the vast majority of the United States.” Turner said of the press conference.

“I’m so grateful that we have an administration that is taking this issue seriously.”

The announcement of the lawsuit comes nearly two months after an infamous hostile exchange between Trump and Mills at a White House bi-partisan meeting of governors on Feb. 21. The exchange ended with Trump uttering the phrase “see you in court” after Mills insisted her state would refuse to comply with his order.

Now, Trump’s administration has made good on his vow to take the issue to court.
