Democrat Maine Rep. Jared Golden, once seen as a moderate willing to work with President Donald Trump, is now under fire for his radical voting record—particularly his repeated support for allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports. In exclusive footage obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Golden refused to answer when pressed by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) about his anti-women votes.
“Congressman Golden, will you apologize for repeatedly voting to allow men in women’s sports?” the NRCC asked. “Congressman, why did you vote to allow men in women’s sports? Why did you take those anti-women votes, congressman?”
Golden, visibly uncomfortable, offered no defense for his record, dodging the questions entirely. His silence speaks volumes—confirming what conservatives have long known: Democrats like Golden will bow to the far-left’s radical gender ideology, even at the expense of women’s rights and fairness in sports.
Golden’s Hypocrisy Exposed
Golden’s voting record tells the real story. On January 14, he voted against H.R. 28, a bill that would have protected Title IX by banning biological males from competing in women’s sports. The bill passed with near-unanimous Republican support, along with two brave Democrats who put women’s rights above party loyalty.
This wasn’t Golden’s first betrayal of female athletes. In April 2023, he voted against a similar bill during the 118th Congress. Even worse, in 2021, he co-sponsored and voted for the so-called “Equality Act,” a disastrous piece of legislation that would have forced schools to allow men into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms.
Now, facing backlash from his constituents and a potential primary challenge, Golden is scrambling to rewrite history. In a feeble attempt to backtrack, he told WGME-TV in February that “biological boys shouldn’t compete in sports against biological girls.” But Mainers aren’t fooled—Golden’s sudden “change of heart” comes only after President Trump’s strong executive order protecting women’s sports forced Democrats like him into damage control.
Trump Stands Strong While Democrats Flip-Flop
While Golden and his fellow Democrats waffle under pressure, President Trump has been unwavering in his defense of women’s sports. His bold executive order ensuring fairness for female athletes stands in stark contrast to the left’s chaotic, unscientific gender policies. Trump’s leadership has exposed the hypocrisy of Democrats like Golden, who only pretend to care about women’s rights when their political careers are on the line.
Meanwhile, Maine’s liberal media continues to give Golden cover, refusing to hold him accountable for his extreme votes. Instead of asking tough questions, outlets like the Portland Press Herald focus on Republican efforts to unseat him, framing it as a partisan battle rather than a fight for basic fairness.
Golden’s seat is now a prime pickup opportunity for Republicans, especially as state auditor Matthew Dunlap considers a primary challenge. The NRCC is right to hammer Golden on his anti-women votes—because every time he refuses to answer, he proves just how out of touch he is with Mainers who believe in common sense.
