Swimming star Riley_Gaines_ is Not. Backing. Down.
Friday, less than 24 hours after she was assaulted by an angry mob in San Francisco, former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss the ordeal.
She told FNC host Tucker Carlson she would be taking action against her alleged attackers, vowing that they would face “repercussions.” “But what this means for me does not deter me,” Gaines continued. “This assures me that I’m doing the right thing. This will not silence me. When they want me to be silenced, it just means I need to speak louder.”
