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.
“Madam Chair, I ask that while we sit through this hearing and the hateful misinformation I’m sure is coming our way, let us not forget the children at the core of this issue,” Lee added.
Gaines, who competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and has since become an outspoken proponent of reserving women’s sports for biological females, took issue with Lee’s characterization of her testimony.
“Of course, there is a place for everyone, regardless of gender identity, regardless of sexual orientation, regardless of race or what sports you play. There’s a place for everyone to play sports in this country,” Gaines said.
“But unsafe, unfair and discriminatory practices towards women must stop. Inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness, and ranking member Lee, if my testimony makes me transphobic then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.”

AOC Unflinchingly Lambasts GOP Calls To Restrict Transgender Athletes From Women’s And Girls’ Sports
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Progressive Leftists are the greatest threat to American Democracy. They want to undermine everything that will bring Americans together. They want war, strife, division, hatred and racism
“the first-year House lawmaker”
And to think. She is the best and brightest in her district.
How typical of an insane prog Dem — they shout you down at campus events. They shout you down at dinner in restaurants. Now they want to shout you down in Congress and have your remarks stricken from the record.
Those Dems sure do hate the First Amendment.
“Democracy” is dirty and requires the free exchange of all ideas. Shouting down your opponents, censoring them, and striking their statements is about as anti-Democratic as you can get. Brought to you by the party of “Save Our Democracy.”
I had to look it up.
Misogynist Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of MISOGYNIST is a person who hates or discriminates against women : a misogynistic person.
Democrat are nuts. Members of Congress have the same right of free speech we all have.
AOC is the darling of gays and lesbians.
Ms. Gaines made a true and appropriate statement in calling the newbie Ms. Lee, a misogynist!
She is a exceptional young woman with a bright future.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again.
The high IQ, big education leftist intellectuals have assisted, enabled or ignored almost every human atrocity in modern history.
Whether it was giving Stalin two Time Man/Year, adopting Maoism, giving Hitler an Olympics......castrating 8yos, supporting Hamas. They denied Uke famine, Hitler death camps, Hutu death squads.....Xi got Two Olympics and Putin one.
i love the way she thinks quick on her feet and is not afraid to fire back
That’s right.
The angry black thing didn’t like it very much when she said that.
Riley is tough.
Find some trans guy who will follow these Dems into the Capitol womens room and see what they have to say.
