Radio host Charlamagne Tha God blasted Maine Democrat Governor Janet Mills for continuing to focus on the “losing” transgender athlete issue, saying America’s not with the party’s views on the matter.

Speaking on his show “The Breakfast Club” on Monday, the host — born Lenard Larry McKelvey — said he can’t understand why the Democrat politician is pushing for trans-identifying males to continue competing in women’s sports when it was one of the main issues that helped people vote for President Donald Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Why are folks still talking about trans athletes? Like, that is a losing talking point. America’s not with it, and they keep making a micro a macro with that conversation,” the radio host said. “It impacts such a small, small group of people, but it makes a whole lot of people think folks lack common sense, so why are they even having that conversation?”

“And I can’t believe it’s states that still want to die on that hill,” he added. “Like, none of these states have a high percentage of trans athletes, so what’s the issue?”

The hosts debated why Democrats might be making it an issue, and Charlamagne said it makes no sense with the fact that “there’s not a high percentage of trans athletes in the country period.”

The host’s comments came after things got heated between Trump and Mills at the White House on Friday after the president called out the Democrat when he asked her if she was going to comply with his executive order banning trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports, as previously reported.

“Well, 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 said.

Mills replied, “We’ll see you in court.”

“Good! I’ll see you in court,” the president said. “I look forward to that. That should be a really easy one.”

“And enjoy your life after, governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics,” he added.

The exchange came after Maine’s Department of Education said it would not comply with Trump’s executive order titled “Keeping Men Out Of Women’s Sports.”

The Maine Principals’ Association said earlier this month that the state would allow males to continue competing in girls’ and women’s sports, despite Trump’s EO.
