WOMEN'S GROUP SLAMS AMBUSH OF EX-KENTUCKY SWIMMER RILEY GAINES AT SAN FRANCISCO STATE: 'ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS'
"This is truly shameful behavior," Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., added on Twitter."Riley Gaines has done nothing more than speak out about the dangers of allowing biological men to compete in women's sports, and is met with violence. Unacceptable." "I stand with Riley and her message: biological men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports," she said.
"I stand with Riley Gaines. Women’s sports are under attack by the far left, and Riley should be applauded for defending the rights of girls and young women across America to compete fairly and safely. Political violence has no place in the United States. Those responsible must be held accountable. Our country should encourage civil debate and discourse, not tolerate radical mob rule that seeks to silence political opposition.
