(Dec. 9, 2023) — Before champion swimmer Riley Gaines began her address to Congress on Tuesday December 5, 2023, she was pummeled by Democratic Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.
Lee warned the Congress that they were about to hear a full diatribe that could only be described as, transphobic, and hateful. It was defamatory, disgraceful, and completely un-called for, but not to worry, Riley had a comeback answer that was to sweep across the national news cycle like a raging tsunami.
Riley Gaines answered Lee by saying, that if my testimony was transphobic, then Summer Lee’s opening remarks should be labeled – misogynistic.
That remark floored Rep. Lee and her next move was the call to have the remark removed from the record. It seems the point of order was rescinded, but the cowardice, bias and rancor will live on in infamy.
Rep. Lee did not have a leg to stand on, because the wisdom and obvious meaning of Riley’s remarks could not be overcome.
