Riley Gaines fires back at 'self-absorbed, misogynistic socialist' AOC over transgender sports stance
Fox News ^ | 10/31/25 | Ryan Morik

Riley Gaines clapped back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in the latest edition of her OutKick podcast, "Gaines for Girls," after their recent social media feud.

The two went back and forth in a spat that stemmed from AOC saying if Gaines had put "all this anger into swimming faster [she] wouldn't have come in fifth place" in the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.

Gaines mentioned that she is in the "roughly 2%" of people who competed in Division I athletics and that "there are only eight women … who make the final and are All-Americans in their event." The person she tied with was Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who won the national title in the 400-meter freestyle the day prior.

Are we really sure Sandy Cortez isn’t a tranny herself. Could be an illegal also.

She’s correct, but she’s out of her league here and got herself embarrassed by a mental lightweight. I think athletes should stick to sports regardless of their political stance.

Dumb.

Indeed! “Gaines for Girls” podcast — LOVE that name! That is clever. Unlike that stinking commie wench.

Riley defines talent, dedication, and respectability.
Occasional Cortex is the definition of little IQ and no ability. Except that the ‘cortex’ is supremely qualified to be a modern DemocRAT congress critter.

AOC does not care about women. It’s the Socialist agenda she puts first.

Riley Gaines has spoken truth and well when she pointed out, “”If they think fifth place is bad, what in the world do they think about 462nd? Because that’s what Will Thomas placed amongst the men just 12 months prior,”” Gaines responded, calling Thomas by the former UPenn swimmer’s birth name.

Let me correct this:
The person she tied with was Lia Thomas, a male swimmer

The worse thing about AOC’s 5th place diss is that she borrowed it from Keith Oberman who said it first. AOC isn’t even original.

She was a great messenger for women in sports for the last two years.She is extremely articulate and the Catlady took a cheapshot when it is doubtful she could swim a single length.

[The Democrats keep pushing this horribly unpopular issue.

Let's hope the Godless Reprobate Democrats remain stupid and tone-deaf.

It's showing the world who they truly are]

[DEMOCRAT Jim Himes (D-CT) is a supportive ally of the LGBTQ+ community, as shown by his membership in the Congressional Equality Caucus and his support for policies like marriage equality and the Equality Act. His public statements and actions reflect a commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and equality under the law.]

Satan and the Democrats (especially)
are Destroying Normal Society with
these DELUSIONAL SATANIC LIES FROM HELL 🔥🔥🔥




It's ALL about PROMOTING SATAN'S LIES of "transgender" and LGBTQ+ with DEMOCRATS

These are spirit of antichrist Goats 🐐🐐🐐 doing the works of their true father

John 8:44

Democrats are at
War with Reality,
Biology and
Almighty God




God may not be a Republican
But Satan is certainly a Democrat
