00:00Riley Gaines cooks Democrats' insane, ridiculous, harmful, destructive trans stance.
00:06Former college swimmer Riley Gaines renewed her criticism of Democratic lawmakers,
00:11arguing they're misleading the public about voter views on transgender women in women's sports, according to the Daily Mail.
00:17In a conversation with Fox Business anchor Stu Varney,
00:20she claimed Democrats aren't being honest about how many of their voters oppose current policies.
00:26Gaines, a prominent advocate for banning transgender women from competing against biological women,
00:31said the political narrative doesn't match what she hears from voters.
00:35Gaines argued the issue has become entirely partisan in politics and media,
00:39despite not being evenly split among the public.
00:42She said media framing suggests a 50-50 divide, but she believes that's inaccurate, even among Democratic voters.
00:49Citing outlets that call it an 80-20 issue, she insisted the gap is actually much wider.
00:57Gaines argued that most Democrats oppose policies on transgender athletes,
01:01but the article counters that her 80% claim isn't supported by polling.
01:07A June Gallup survey found 69% of Americans think transgender athletes should compete only according to birth gender,
01:14with 90% of Republicans and 41% of Democrats agreeing.
01:18The poll also showed 71% of Democrats consider transitioning morally acceptable, compared to 9% of Republicans.
01:27Gaines, a prominent critic of transgender participation in women's sports,
01:32frequently cites her experience sharing a locker room with Leah Thomas.
01:36Since leaving collegiate swimming, Gaines has become a regular Fox News contributor,
01:40and hosts a show with OutKick.
01:41Her activism came under scrutiny after Pablo Torre released an investigation questioning whether she was engaging in a grift,
01:48and why she hasn't spoken out on other issues in women's sports,
01:52including allegations against her former Kentucky coach, Lars Jorgensen.
01:56SafeSport later ruled Jorgensen permanently ineligible to coach due to findings of sexual harassment and misconduct.
02:03Gaines dismissed the investigation as a baseless hit piece,
02:06mocking its six-month length and saying it only uncovered that she has a paying job.
