Hugh Hewitt: Trump Scores ‘Big Win’ in Title 9 Dispute with Maine Governor

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: “It just goes the other way. Yes, people do care about a lot of other things, Hugh, but when you — when you are spending money to defend this and it’s a federal law, Title 9, and the president saying he is going to go after it, it seems.”
HEWITT: “He is right, Bret. The story of the Maine pole vaulting competition featuring the girls has a very memorable photo which ricocheted around the internet yesterday. Governor Mills, I spend quite a lot of time in Maine. So, I’m very familiar with people in Maine, they are not going to be on the governor’s side here. They are going to split 80-20. They are going to be upset if the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights concludes that Maine is in violation of Title 9, which I believe they will. They are going to lose a lot of money, by the way, everyone on that stand, the silver medalist, the bronze medalist, and the other runner-up were not happy either because the crowned champion, the biological boy now transgender girl won the boys’ championship but did very well last year, came in sixth or something like that, and he beat her by the next closest competitor by 6 inches. Shattering records. So it’s not an issue which Democrats want to define their party on. But that exchange today, Donald Trump sees high ground he is going to stand on it and it was a big win for the president.”
