SHOTS FIRED: Nancy Mace Roasts Olympic Gold Mealist Simone Biles After Clash With Riley Gaines.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) decided to weigh in on the transgender debate that Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles had with Riley Gaines on Friday, quickly putting Biles in her place.
The debate began after the Olympic gymnastics champion called Gaines “truly sick” in a Friday X post for criticizing a Minnesota high school for allowing a male athlete on a girls’ softball team.
Biles made the comment after Gaines highlighted the Champlin Park Rebels in a Friday X post, which won a state championship last week. Gaines noted that the Minnesota State High School League removed the ability for people to comment on a post announcing the team had won the championship, adding that this is likely because one of the players on the girls’ softball team is a male.
“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,” Biles wrote in response to Gaines’ post. “You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!”
Biles accused Gaines of bullying trans-identifying athletes, adding, “One thing [is] for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”
Rep. Nancy Mace decided to prove a point while defending Gaines with a shot to Biles that said, “Honey, if biological men competed in women’s gymnastics, odds are no one would know your name,” making it very clear where Mace stood on the issue.
