After losing her re-election in 2024, former Montana Senator John Tester spoke to women's sports trans athletes.
In a real-time HBO interview with Bill Maher on Friday, the tester said he agreed to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent comments.
“In that statement, Gavin Newsom is 100% correct,” the tester said. “By the way, men are talking about very, very, very, very little people that women should not play sports. That's just a lot of crap.”
But the testers, like many other Democrats, argued that it was an exaggerated issue.
“The truth is that it was blown away disproportionately,” Tester said. “We're talking about that and Congress is acting on issues that affect Americans, not on issues that affect Americans.”

Tester lost his seat to former Navy Azarathitum Sheehee in November after serving three terms in Montana.
Despite the fact that many Democrats and the majority of voters have expressed their opposition to women's sports transathletes over the past few months, numbers like Testers and Newsom still come up with other reasons not to support GOP-led laws to address the issue.
Testers suggested that the issue “does not affect Americans,” but Newsom argued that the laws to address the issue did not explain the fact that the transgender population is “vulnerable.”

Social media users have reported on Gavin Newsom, D-Calif, about his new podcast announcement. I laughed.
“So it's easy to call that inequality,” Newsmu said on his podcast this week after claiming that trans-inclusion was unfair. “There's humility and grace too. These poor people are likely to commit suicide, anxiety and depression, and the way people talk to vulnerable communities is a problem I struggle with too.”
“So, both things I can hold in my hand,” the governor continued. “How can you address this issue with such a decency that you think is unique to?
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February to ban trans-athletes in women and girls' sports, but many states, including California, refused to comply.
On Monday, Senate Democrats voted almost unanimously to block the protection of women and girls in sports law.
