Maine Dems push for tampons in boys' bathrooms amid ongoing debate over trans sports participation

"It just kind of shows how out of touch the legislative Democrats here in Maine are when their priorities are paying for tampons in boys' bathrooms rather than ensuring that we have any type of balanced budget," she said. 

Meanwhile, Assistant House Minority Leader Katrina Smith, R-Palermo, said Democrats in the state legislature think "they can push through anything they want," even at the expense of taxpayers, because they have control over both chambers and the governor's office. 

"Maine is ground zero for these types of policies," Smith told Fox News Digital. "They think that, because they have the majority in every body, that they can push through anything they want and anything they want usually costs taxpayers money as well, which this would."

Maine's Democratic Gov. Janet Mills has supported the move to defy Trump's executive order on trans sports participation as well, telling the president at the White House last month, "We'll see you in court," in reference to the matter.

Fox News Digital reached out to Cloutier for comment on her bill that would require schools to provide tampons in boys' bathrooms, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
