Riley Gaines: Billie Jean King Is ‘Actively Undermining Everything She Once Fought for and Fighting for Male Inclusion in Women’s Sports’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CAMPOS-DUFFY: “Yeah. And protection. You took a lot of abuse. I saw that video of you going to speak at a university, and your life was in danger. Saying what’s so common sense. But what I think is really interesting about your story, riley, you know I’m a big fan p I’ve been following you for a long time because I think you’ve done more than save women’s sports. I think what you’ve done is much deeper, it’s much more profound. I think you have redefined what feminism is in so many ways. The left stole feminism and said it was about abortion and the ability to kill your own child. And you actually stood the up for something that actually impacted women, and those same people who said that it was about abortion were the first ones to stand up and attack you. It was so ironic. And yet you stood strong.”

GAINES: “It is ironic. Even just thinking about a month ago when I testified before Congress, one of the Democrat witnesses was the president of the national women’s law center, a law center dedicated to advocating and fighting for women. And in her opening testimony, she said women should just learn how to lose more gracefully in sports. And you think of someone like Billie Jean King, right, really who we have to accredit title ix to, she is actively undermining everything she once fought for in fighting for male inclusion in women’s sports and women’s spaces. So ironic is a good word, almost comical if there weren’t real consequences to what these women feminists — are fight fighting for. And prior to this I never would have considered myself a feminist, but I think it’s time we reclaim what it means to be a feminist because, look, I am pro-woman. I am pro-truth, pro-fairness, I am pro-reality, pro-common sense.”
