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.
