Former Minnesota Vikings captain Jack Brewer criticized state leaders this week for refusing to comply with President Donald Trump’s directive to protect girls’ sports from male participation, accusing Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison of allowing “dark and demonic laws” to take hold in Minnesota, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In an interview with Fox News, Brewer said that while he has long been retired from football, he remains connected to the state through his extended family, who still live and coach in Minnesota.

“I still have plenty of family in Minnesota — nieces, nephews, cousins — and family members who coach high school sports there,” Brewer said. “My family is being held hostage to these dark and demonic laws.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison missed last Friday’s deadline to comply with the Trump administration’s order enforcing a federal ban on biological males competing in girls’ sports, citing the ongoing government shutdown.

The administration had previously ruled that Minnesota’s transgender athletic policies violated Title IX, referencing a case involving a transgender softball pitcher who led a girls’ team to a state championship.

Federal officials also noted additional instances of transgender athletes competing in Minnesota.

The Department of Justice has already taken legal action against Maine and California over similar violations, and Minnesota could face a referral once the government reopens.

“President Trump is absolutely right to demand that men stay out of women’s sports,” Brewer said. “When Congress is back in session, he should cut all federal funding to states that continue this insanity.”

Brewer added that Minnesota’s leadership has made the state “the laughingstock of America.” Hundreds of school board members across more than 100 districts have reportedly signed an open letter urging Walz and Ellison to comply with Trump’s executive order.

“You have hundreds of school board members who have stood against this, yet a governor and an attorney general with that much control are forcing their leftist, satanic ideals on people who want nothing to do with it,” Brewer said.

He continued, “The world is watching as Minnesota has become the epicenter of this darkness — the devil’s den. Something needs to change, and the people of Minnesota need to wake up.”

Ellison has accused the Trump administration of “bullying” transgender-identifying students, while Brewer pushed back, citing Scripture and condemning state leaders for rejecting Christian principles.

“The Bible talks about this — Jesus said it’s better to have a millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the sea than to harm one of His little ones,” Brewer said. “Our nation was founded as a Christian nation — not one that appeases or promotes sexual immorality.”

The Jack Brewer Foundation also weighed in on Instagram, writing, “The devil has his hands all over Minnesota — and Tim Walz and Keith Ellison are leading the charge. God cannot bless a state that harms His little ones.”
