The former NCAA swimmer and host of the Outkick Riley Gaines transmitted a message on Wednesday to the states defying the executive order of President Donald Trump to keep the transgender athletes outside female and girls.
Gaines appeared on “the story of PK Press Club with Martha McCallum” to rent the American prosecutor Pam Bondi for having urged the states that have not respected order by threatening to retain federal funding.
“The Constitution is very clear that federal laws, such as title IX, have priority on states’ laws,” said Gaines. “Even with President Trump in the White House, the war against Woke has not yet been won.”

Bondi’s warning came on Tuesday when she warned California, Maine and Minnesota, who openly challenged Trump’s order, which they will lose federal funding if they continue to authorize trans athletes in girls.
Maine has become a battlefield on the issue after a war of words between Governor Janet Mills and Trump on the issue. In addition, a republican legislator of the state of Maine, the representative Laurel Libby, was censored Tuesday for having drawn attention to the state with an article on social networks calling for a transgender high school athlete which took first place in a competition for girls in the post vault.

Gaines congratulated Libby and defended the legislator, while condemning factories on Wednesday.
“”[Mills] I prefer to lose more than $ 5 billion in federal funds to send a message to which boys deserve and have the right to trample girls in the process, “said Gaines.” I recommend and I am so proud and so grateful for the Libby representative. And just looking at this, looking at a female representative to lose her ability to vote and speak to the room of the room for defending girls and women.
“No, this did not happen in Afghanistan. This happened in America.”
In addition to Democrats in states like Maine and California, NCAA has been criticized for its recent revision to its gender eligibility policy to comply with Trump’s order. Many criticisms, including Gaines, have stressed that the new NCAA policy does not take into account modified birth certificates, noting that 44 states in the United States allow sexes to birth certificates.
The XX-XEX-Athletics clothing brand, for which Gaines is a brand ambassador, published a video advertisement on Wednesday which featured several female athletes from colleges who were expressed against the NCAA for its policy, insisting that it was not going far enough.
“We have teamed up with XX-Xy Athletics to publish this announcement directly to a message (president of the NCAA) Charlie Baker, directly to the NCAA,” said Gaines. “They published a policy following the decree of President Trump claiming to be online, but NCAA policy is in direct conflict towards Trump’s decree beautifully and completely written.”
Gaines will go to Minnesota next week to defend a state bill to ban transgender athletes in the sports of girls and women there.
