AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine House of Representatives voted Tuesday evening to formally censure a lawmaker after she drew national attention for a Facebook post that singled out a high school athlete in Maine.
Rep. Laurel Libby's social media post criticized Maine's policy of allowing transgender athletes to participate in girls' sports.
"When the woke Left can't silence women, they cancel them," Libby said over calls of "order!" from Democrats.
The debate was fierce from the start, with Democrat's criticizing Libby for using the image of a minor to make a political point.
"No child designed these rules, and no child deserves to be targeted by any adults who are upset about them," Democratic state Rep. William Bridgeo said.
"I think it will be very clear that the standard is to not post photos of minors as part of political fodder," Fecteau added after the 75-70 vote in favor of censure.
Libby received strong support among her own party against the Democrat-led effort, with colleagues defending her post as free expression.

It’s surprising that Maine is so full of retards.
Standard issue Alt Left Democrat move. Cannot debate the merits of the policy so demand everyone who challenges their emotion based dogmas be punished.
Next up - arrests and jail time over social media posts...
Libby was elected by her constituency.
The RATs have cancelled her voice and vote.
Is it possible to sue these basstids?
IF not, get the most out of the cencure and post it again with this story.
Make the RAT basstids eat it again.....
Looking at you, Stephen King.
If that hasn’t already happened yet.
“...It’s surprising that Maine is so full of retards....”
Almost all the RATs are MassHole imports and along with New Yawwwwwkers that have taken over the southern part of the state.....
Get rid of the the imports and Maine would be blood red.
Perhaps they can work that into the state motto.
The dems must really be proud of the cross dresser beating up on girls. So proud that they won’t even celebrate him.
Who are the real transphobes? I would say the dems are the ones who fear transvestites.
EC
Are they saying that it would have been ok if she hadn’t posted a pic?
Anyway - she needs to litigate - every vote taken by the Maine legislature in her time being censured should be overturned
It pains me to agree with the Dims on this point.
Adult Libtards made these rules and they alone should be punished for these abominations.
This child was already a victim of Libs by being given the idea that he/she could have an identity as a member of the opposite sex.
Being set up as an object of ridicule (even if unintentionally) for having this misconception by someone trying to reverse that notion is wrong.
“Perhaps they can work that into the state motto.”
Truth in advertising, and funny as heck.
The Maine House reps would fit right in, in the UK, Germany and Romania.
Anti-American
Bridgeo fails to see the irony in his statement
Seems to me that any of her constituents would have standing to sue for unconstitutioal deprivation of representation.
If a party in the majority can take the vote away from members in the minority, the Dems can silence enough opponents to win on every issue. No way should the Reps allow this coup d’etat to stand. They should boycott the legislature, denying the Dems a quoroum to do business, until Libby’s voice and vote is restored.

“...denying the Dems a quoroum to do business, until Libby’s voice and vote is restored....”
Anything that “denies the Dems” is a step in the right direction.
These communist basstids need to be shutdown permanently....
The picture in question was apparently from a publication and therefore already in the public arena.
Besides, that’s only the excuse the Dems used to punish their political enemy.
