Riley Gaines, a decorated collegiate swimmer, responded to Rep. Katie Porter who made comments about her on 'Real Time with Bill Maher' on Friday night.
Rep. Katie Porter attends The Makers Conference at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach on Oct. 25, 2022, in Dana Point, California.
"And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself – and that is her prerogative and I respect her free speech," Porter said, as Morgan maintained that Gaines was"speaking up for every female athlete in the world." Gaines responded to Porter on Saturday in a tweet, explaining that she’s diverted her own career path to take up the cause and keep women’s sports equal.
Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines swims the 200 butterfly prelims at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships on March 19, 2022 at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Georgia. "Hey @RepKatiePorter I'm not speaking up for myself...I'm done playing sports. I'm not fighting for me. I'm actually supposed to be in dental school this year. But I've changed my life plans because I see what's at stake if someone doesn't fight for the present and next generation," Gaines tweeted.
