Maine’s far-left Governor Janet Mills is under fire—again—and this time, it’s not just over her radical policies. The embattled Democrat dropped an expletive-laced response after being confronted in Washington, D.C. about decades-old allegations of *cocaine use on the job*, all of which resurfaced thanks to a recently uncovered Department of Justice memo.
While dodging reporters during a trip to D.C., Mills was asked point-blank whether “sniffing cocaine at work” was a “human right.” Her response? “What the f—?” The outburst, caught on video, only fueled the growing controversy surrounding her past—and raised serious questions about her fitness for office.
According to documents obtained by Fox News on June 30, 2025, Mills was the subject of a federal grand jury investigation in the 1990s over alleged drug use. While she ultimately filed a libel suit at the time to counter media scrutiny, the Department of Justice noted her claims of political persecution were “unsubstantiated.”
Flashback to 1991: Mills attempted to paint herself as the victim of a smear campaign, whining to the press that Maine had a “secret police force” capable of destroying anyone who stepped out of line. In reality, what Mills called a smear campaign was part of a legitimate investigation into her own conduct—conduct that is now back in the spotlight as her credibility continues to crumble.
The scandal couldn’t come at a worse time for Mills, who’s already locked in a battle with the Trump administration over *biological males competing in girls’ sports* in Maine schools. Earlier this year, the Department of Justice announced legal action against the state of Maine for *failing to protect the rights of women and girls in sports*—a move praised by conservatives and women’s advocacy groups nationwide.
“Pretty basic stuff,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling out Mills’ refusal to defend women’s sports from radical gender ideology.
Mills, in her usual tone-deaf fashion, attempted to downplay the issue, telling a local outlet that only “two” trans athletes were competing in the entire state—ignoring the broader principle of fairness and the long-term implications of her stance. Her administration has promised to “vigorously defend” Maine’s dangerous policies, signaling that she’s more committed to appeasing the woke fringe than protecting female athletes.
This isn’t the first time Governor Mills has clashed with President Trump. Back in February, during a National Governors Association meeting, President Trump directly challenged her refusal to comply with his executive order banning men from competing in women’s sports. Mills, ever the activist, responded with defiance: “See you in court.”
Now, the court of public opinion is circling back to haunt her. The reemergence of her alleged drug abuse—paired with her ongoing war against common-sense protections for girls in school sports—paints a picture of a governor completely out of touch with both her past and the people she was elected to serve.
With the 2026 midterms on the horizon, voters in Maine may finally have had enough of Janet Mills’ reckless leadership, foul-mouthed outbursts, and woke crusades.
