Summary

Laurel Libby, a three-term state representative in Maine, was censured by the Maine legislature in a party-line vote for a post consisting of side-by-side photos of a male athlete last year competing as a man, and this year winning the girls state championship in pole vault. She is not allowed to vote or even speak until she apologizes. Instead of caving, as everyone else in this situation in Maine's history has done, she's fighting.

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here, and it is episode 2643 of the Tom Woods show.

0:25.0

And I am delighted to be joined today by Laurel Libby, who is a state representative in Maine, serving in her third term.

0:33.1

And she has gotten herself, I think quite surprisingly, even to her, into some hot water for what will seem to virtually everybody listening to this a rather minor thing.

0:47.5

And the consequences she's facing boggle the mind, really, that it's astonishing this could possibly happen.

0:54.2

So I think this will be of interest to everybody listening, regardless of your level of interest

0:59.5

in the particular issue that brought this whole thing on, the way this has been handled in Maine

1:06.2

is just astonishing. So now that I've given people no information whatsoever, Laura, welcome to the show.

1:14.3

Thank you so much for having me. That was a great introduction.

1:18.7

It was a great non-explanation of what's going on. Well, let's start with this. So basically what's

the country and the response is so disproportionate as to, as I guess I say, boggle the mind.

1:42.8

maybe this is an oversimplification,

1:44.3

but that Maine politics is in a way Portland versus everybody else. Now, is that too simple?

1:51.8

You know, that is certainly a simplification, Tom. I don't think it's too simple because it really

1:57.1

is like we've got two mains. and people reference that all the time, particularly

2:00.8

folks who live, say Auburn, where I live, and North.

2:05.2

It feels like we have two Maines, and the legislature is legislating for that smaller
