Riley Gaines fires back at Dem who wanted swimmer’s ‘transphobic’ remarks stricken from record
Former collegiate swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines accused Rep. Summer Lee of being a “misogynist” after the Pennsylvania Democrat derided the NCAA All-American’s testimony as “transphobic” and asked that it be stricken from the record during a fiery congressional hearing Tuesday.
Lee, a member of the so-called “Squad” of far-left lawmakers, accused Gaines and other witnesses on the panel of being “transphobic” in her opening remarks while arguing in support of the Biden administration’s proposed rule changes to Title IX that would outlaw banning transgender students from participating on teams consistent with their gender identity.
“It’s disappointing to me that although the title of this hearing implies a much-needed discussion we’re likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry,” the first-year House lawmaker said during the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing. “Because actually protecting female athletes and Title IX is important. Participating in sports provides so many benefits to our young people.

Ms Lee commenced by engaging in personalities. Her initial speech was also riddled with tension, spite, duplicity and insanity. She should have nothing to do with governance. She is unstable and irrational.

@@sandlotkrew8778 - she’s taken advantage of being wronged…. I don’t see anything negative about it. Her direct experience grants her credibility for saying the same thing as others that just have the observations. We could even take it a step further from “wronged” and say she was victimized-if a guy exposed himself in parking lot, he’s a creepy flasher and would be arrested but if he claims to be a lady he can let it swing in the breeze while in the locker room with Riley and the other ladies-a hero to some and the same creepy dude to others.
This is cleaned up quite a bit. In the full exchange Lee makes herself look childish and like a bully. In the end she just embarrassed herself.

Lee needed a few moments to confer with multiple colleagues asking, "what is a misogamist", to determine if she should feel insulted or not.
That was fun; the disgusted look on her face when she was told they would have to strike her comments from the record for insulting the witness...
Gaines competed against a 6-4 man, she has no fear taking down a lesser woman.
Too late, everyone heard it and fussing about it made sure they heard it extra loud.
