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.

Riley Gaines is a true fighter for women's rights and an American hero 🇺🇸!!

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.

[Scott-vvdp]

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.

Impossible to strike the truth from the record, go Gaines 😊

[batmanforpresident]

The fact that Summer Lee is a member of "The Squad" tells you EVERYTHING you need to

[LibertyOverDeath-]

Rep Lee: Ok, I move to withdraw the point of order.

Translation: it just became clear to me that I embarrassed myself and will likely get roasted on social media for this.

She's an absolute joke and a traitor to real women everywhere. What a disgrace lol

[robertwendel]

Riley is exactly right. Summer lee is a clown. Shes needs to be voted out period. We need people without agenda's. We need people with just plain common sense period

[bessarion]

I think Rep. Lee should understand that A. Freedom of speech applies to everyone, B. She has no right to muzzle people who disagree with her, and C. name -calling has consequences even for her.
