When producers at “The View” invited Riley Gaines on to set the record straight, they probably figured Whoopi Goldberg would have a field day with her.
They were wrong. Ms. Gaines joined the show remotely to tell the audience what it felt like to lose to a biological male twice her size.
Before she could get three words out, Whoopi shouted, “Just admit you’re a bigot who wants to get rich riding Lia Thomas’ coattails.” Gaines, who looks a bit timid and unassuming, turned immediately into the fierce competitor we all know and love and laid into Whoopi.
“You don’t actually care about women,” she said sternly, “you have no idea what it’s like to go through something like this.” Goldberg was speechless.
After a moment with her mouth wide open, Whoopi finally mustered an apology. “I’m sorry,” she said.
Then she said, “I’m sorry…what> Did you just inform a black woman from New York how difficult it is to be you, child? Sweetheart you tied for 5th. You want to be the next Tomi Lahren. Your eyes are way too close together, hun.”
Gaines fired back without missing a beat. “Oh yeah?”, she screeched, “Well you don’t even care about women!” It was a magical moment for her, without a doubt. God Bless you, Riley Gaines, and God Bless America.
Professional swimmer Riley Gaines threatened to take “legal action” after she claimed to be assaulted by trans-rights protesters during her speech at San Francisco State University, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Gaines appeared on an episode of Fox & Friends on Saturday, April 8, insisting the school failed to act after she was allegedly physically assaulted by people protesting her speech about “protecting women’s sports” by keeping transgender athletes out of women’s competitions.
“The dean of students was there and did nothing. There will be no repercussions unless I have something to do with it,” Gaines told the Fox News panel. “I will be pursuing legal action. These people need to face repercussions.”
The 23-year-old swimmer is a 12-time All-American champion who became an outspoken opponent of trans athletes competing with “biological females” after losing a competition to Lia Thomas, a trans-swimmer who competed in the 2021-22 SEC Swim and Dive Championship.
Gaines spoke at Turning Points USA event on the California campus on Thursday, April 6, where she was caught on tape being ushered out of a classroom as protesters followed her into a hallway.
One activist in the video can be heard shouting, “Trans rights are human rights,” with a second voice yelling, “Yeah, you f***ing transphobic b****. I f***ing see you!”
The young swimmer shared the video on Twitter, telling her 341,000 followers, “The prisoners are running the asylum.”
