President Donald Trump rebuked Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills in person on Friday and threatened to pull federal funding from her state for not complying with his executive order banning men in women's sports.
During a bipartisan National Governors Association session at the White House, Trump noted that Maine is refusing to comply with his Feb. 5 executive order titled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports."
"Are you not going to comply with that?" Trump asked Mills, who was sitting two tables over from his podium.
"I'm complying with state and federal law," Mills replied.
"We are the federal law. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't," Trump shot back.
He made a similar threat during a meeting Thursday of the Republican Governor's Association.
