Maine legislature censures Rep. Laurel Libby for pointing out trans athlete who won girls' competition

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Maine, joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss her state being under Title IX investigation for allowing biological men in women's sports after a clash with President Donald Trump.

The Maine House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Laurel Libby 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.
