Democrat U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree Misstates U.S. Supreme Court Transexual Sports Ruling As “Anti Kids”

Maine’s southern-district congresswoman falsely claims the Supreme Court’s “transsexual” ruling “bullies kids.”

In fact, the decision merely keeps boys out of girls’ sports.

It doesn’t forbid boys claiming to be girls from playing on transsexual teams.

The bottom line is so-called trans kids are welcome to be athletes – but not on mixed-gender squads.

The court, in an opinion written by Brett Kavanaugh, said that “the states may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex.”

That of course is not what Chellie Pingree is claiming as she portrays the ruling as using kids for “political punching bags.”

By falsely interpreting the ruling, it’s Chellie Pingree who is politicizing the issue.

Platner should have been protesting outside her office when it comes to someone enriching themselves while in office, could have picked any democrat you wanted. King passed a law requiring Maine to use renewables and then started a wind energy company… Baldacci gets out of office and becomes a lobbyist for green energy.

Pingree is a piece of trash like her daughter who has been predicted to become Maine’s next governor. The Pingree’s will be the final nail in the coffin for the take down of Maine and its people. The new motto will “Maine what freedom once looked like now communist controlled”

I’m not at all surprised at Pingree’s twisted response. She is so fixed on her agenda that she refuses to see the protective nature of separating girls and boys in organized athletics. Pingree is so partisan she would even vote alongside the infamous Squad to declare the slogan “From the river to the sea . . . Palestine must be free” NOT antisemitic. I would be shocked if Chellie could even name the “river” OR the “sea”! Perhaps it’s time for Maine’s U. S. Representative Pingree to spend less time in her turnip patch and MORE time examining the issues. By the way, with both mother Chellie Pingree and boss Janet Mills as “influencers,” imagine the damage HANNAH can do with our tax dollars!!
