Matt Gagnon criticizes Governor Janet Mills’ handling of Maine’s transgender sports policy, accusing her of failing to defend it and instead spinning it as a victimhood narrative. He argues that the policy, which he claims Mills encouraged, was implemented during a politically favorable time for progressives and faced minimal backlash. Gagnon highlights the lack of public outcry and media scrutiny at the time of the policy’s enactment. He suggests that the policy’s implementation was driven by a sense of invincibility among progressives, which has now shifted due to changing public sentiment and the 2024 election. Gagnon also criticizes Mills’ hypocrisy in invoking states’ rights and her ineffective attempts to distract from the policy’s flaws.
