Ossoff is a Democrat senator who represents the state of Georgia. In the 'Rally for the Republic', he talked about how every kid, including his own daughter, was entitled to a safer and secure future in USA, and how they deserve to 'grow up' in a kind and fair country. In his words,

"My little girl and all our children deserve to grow up in a kind, fair, and decent country."

Gaines responded by reminding Ossoff of his double standards as he had voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. She wrote on her X timeline, [previously Twitter],

" My little girl and all our children deserve to grow up in a kind, fair, and decent country.' — Sen Jon Ossoff, 47 days after voting to allow men in his daughter’s sports

Is this the “fair” country you want for your daughter @ossoff? Selling out your own daughter is crazy work"

Only a couple of weeks ago, Gaines had called out the Maine administration for not supporting the executive order issued by the Trump administration.

Gaines shared her thoughts by posting a one-word reaction on her timeline,

Riley Gaines had previously called out the governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers. Evers had issued a bizarre order to replace the word 'mother' with gender-neutral terms.

Riley Gaines previously reacted to the harassment faced by the Republican representative of the Maine senate, Laurel Libby. Libby had spoken out against the Maine administration's decision to defy the executive order issued against the trans athletes, and was subsequently censured for the same.

Libby was speaking on the Maine Principals Association's decision to support the participation of trans athletes in women's sports. However, she was stopped midway by the Maine House of Representatives. They took away her right to vote and speak, until she apologized for her statements.

Gaines was infuriated as she took to her X timeline to comment on the issue. She posted,

"A female representative in Maine lost her ability to vote and speak on the house floor for defending girls and women. No, this didn't happen in Afghanistan. It happened in America."

Riley Gaines had previously supported the students of MLK High School, who had resorted to protest when the school administration refused to stop the participation of trans athletes in women's sports. She also slammed the authorities when they penalized the protesting students.
