Riley Gaines recently reacted to trans congresswoman Sarah McBride tutoring pupils. The 34-year-old Democrat senator has assumed office for the second consecutive time as the representative of the Delaware district after winning the 2024 general elections.

In a video shared by the X handle @libsoftiktok, McBride could be heard teaching young kids about a girl named 'Jazz' "who people thought was a boy" but she "knew she was a girl" and her journey as a transgender. The post was captioned as,

"Congressman Tim McBride, a man pretending to be a woman, explains to young kids that doctors can help them become transgender and it’s 'good.' "

Gaines reacted to the video by sharing it on her handle with the caption,

"Congressman McBride sharing to a kindergarten class why being transgender is "good". If you look up grooming in a dictionary, this is what you would see. Criminal."

However, that wasn't all. The 24-year-old NCAA swimmer turned social activist further wrote in another post on her X handle [previously Twitter],

"Did the parents know this was happening in their child’s class? And If they did and sent their kid to school anyways, are we sure these people are fit to be parents?"

Riley Gaines has been campaigning on multiple issues, including the exclusion of trans athletes from women's sports. She had previously campaigned against the bias shown towards a trans athlete by the MLK High School in Riverside, California.

Recently, the much talked about Laken Riley Act was passed by the House of Representatives. The Act allows the US administration to take action against the federal governments of the respective states for not acting tough on the issue of illegal immigration.

The Laken Riley Act was passed with an overwhelming majority of 264-159 votes, including support from 48 Democrat senators. However, the remaining Democrat senators, including McBride voted against the provision. Gaines reacted to this situation by writing on her X handle,

"And wouldn't you know the man who wears a dress & calls himself a woman was a NAY vote on the Laken Riley Act. As were 158 more anti-American Democrats. They should all be shamed. You know who would've benefited from "a touch of grace", ? Laken Riley!"

This isn't the first time that Gaines has called out McBride. In November 2024, the 24-year-old social activist had responded to McBride's comments over a proposal to restrict the trans congresswomen from using the women's restrooms at Capitol Hill.

Reposting a news article about McBride's comments on her X handle, Gaines wrote on her X handle,

"And even after his temper tantrum, he's still a man."

Riley Gaines has been working against the inclusion of trans athletes in women's sports since 2022. She had come into the limelight for her campaign against the transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, and the bias allegedly shown towards her by the NCAA in the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships.
