Riley Gaines receives award at DeSantis’ rally and the left melts down

Yesterday, acclaimed women’s activist Riley Gaines announced her endorsement of Ron DeSantis. Today, she appeared with DeSantis and his wife for a South Carolina rally. Riley has worked hard to stand against biological men participating in female sporting competition. She faced this issue first hand when a biological male decided to identify as female, change his name to Lia and compete in women’s swimming.

Before DeSantis came on stage, local legislators and activists awarded Riley with the swimming title stolen from her by a male swimmer.

It was an inspiring moment as Gaines received the title she truly earned. Many on Twitter applauded Gaines’ bravery and sent their own congratulations via tweet.

Predictably, leftists on Twitter were not so thrilled with this honor awarded to Riley. They made sure to let their feelings be known on Twitter.

Not surprised you endorse a Nazi. Shame on you.

You know immediately someone is not a serious person when this is their only accusation.

Do you support the sex-based right of a woman to choose to get an abortion?

So, if Riley doesn’t support killing a baby, she can’t fight for women’s rights in sports? Interesting proposition.

It’s understandable you’d back a loser.

Guess since you couldn’t win races it was time for another job. 🙄

Don’t know how these people can get themselves so wound up about this. They aren’t a victim of anything, but they are victimizing others.

Pretty sure the elite female swimmers who worked hard their whole lives to win titles and awards, only to lose them to biological men, are indeed, the victims.

-or-
you decided you could make more money as a traveling grievance barker than you could as a dentist.
but yeah, sure- put your life on hold sounds way better.

Poor thing just lost a ton of supporters

A fifth place swimmer was able to make a name a name for herself by being a transphobe.

Yeah, looked at her timeline, it’s nothing but straightforward bigotry, shame that mainstream media launders it for the advantage of right wing

Riley has been assaulted, called names and held hostage for ransom at a college in California. There are certainly easier paths than the one she has chosen to take. She is to be admired for her steel spine.

If the left had treated the question of trans women participation in women's sports as a question upon which reasonable minds could differ in good faith – would Gaines have been at this event?

Excellent question. How many people are the left driving away with their ridiculous position on this issue? For now, young women like Riley will carry the mantle for women’s sports and ensure there is equal representation.

Who is Taylor Marshall?

From Wikipedia:
Taylor Reed Marshall (born March 29, 1978) is an American Catholic YouTube commentator, former Episcopal Church priest, and former academic, now known for his advocacy of traditionalist Catholicism. He is the author of multiple books, including the 2019 bestselling book Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within.

Marshall met his wife, Joy McPherson, in 1999. They were married on June 9, 2001, at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Fort Worth, Texas. They have eight children.[25] Marshall and his family converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism. They received confirmation from Bishop Kevin Vann in May 2006.[26][27]

In October 2019, Marshall received media attention for publicizing an incident at the Catholic Church's Amazon Synod in which Alexander Tschugguel and an accomplice filmed themselves removing indigenous fertility statues, reportedly of Pachamama, from the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina in Rome and throwing them into the Tiber river.[20][21] In March 2020, it was revealed that Marshall himself had personally funded Tschugguel's trip to Rome and uploaded the video of the theft.[22]

In 2023, Marshall announced he was running as a candidate in the 2024 United States presidential election.

What Wikipedia does not mention was that Marshall was Trump's own advisor on Catholic matters.
