In her most recent public speaking opportunity since she told her supporters to storm the capitol on Juneteenth, Maine House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross (D-Portland) blasted liberal Democrat white women for prioritizing niche LGBTQ+ issues over her preferred race-related issues. In racially charged remarks at Bates College in Lewiston on Thursday, Talbot Ross complained that Maine Democrats and the media demonize her for fighting for racial justice and use racial minorities as talking points to advance a white liberal agenda. Speaker Talbot Ross said she appreciates that the state legislature made extraordinary advances in LGBTQ+ rights, but she does not see it show up for racial justice. She said, “You cannot say it’s intersectional if really what you mean is that LGBTQ rights is a proxy for white LGBTQ.” Ross’s comments came at the Maine Department of Health and Human Service’s Office of Population Health Equity‘s first annual “Health Equity Conference” Talbot Ross mostly played it safe. But her spicier points came during the question and answer period afterward when the visibly emotional Portland native delivered a racially charged rant about the failure of white liberal women in the Democratic Party to support her agenda.
