The Democrats’ War on Women’s Sports

OutKick Exclusive: Second Female Penn Swimmer Steps Forward, Describes Teammates In Tears – OutKick

The second Penn swimmer to come forward was at the University of Akron Zippy Invitational where she watched Lia Thomas beat fellow teammate Anna Kalandadze by 38 seconds in the 1650 freestyle. OutKick’s source described Penn swimmers on the Akron pool deck as upset and crying, knowing they were going to be demolished by Thomas.

“They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got,” the source said.

“Now they’re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it’s really getting to everyone.”

After just five meets and the Akron Invitational, Thomas has not just destroyed opponents. The Penn freestyle records are being rewritten by a swimmer who was second-team All-Ivy league in 2018-19 — as a male.

This is going to be the death of women’s sports. Don’t believe me? Let’s go straight to the source, Lia “herself”.

OutKick’s source said that after the 200 freestyle, Thomas could be overheard bragging.

“That was so easy, I was cruising,” Lia Thomas allegedly said.

According to OutKick’s source, Thomas was unhappy with her time after the 500 race, but while standing in front of teammates, made sure to mention, “At least I’m still No. 1 in the country.”

“Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years,” OutKick’s source said. “Of course you’re No. 1 in the country when you’re beating a bunch of females. That’s not something to brag about.”

This is disgusting.

The Death of Women’s Sports, Cont’d

This isn’t even happening in slow motion. It’s real time, right before our eyes.

UPenn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas continues dominant season with more record-breaking wins (nypost.com)

A 22-year-old transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania continued her dominant performance this season — setting numerous pool, meet and program records at a three-day event in Ohio last weekend.

Lia Thomas blew away her competition Friday night in the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries and finals at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron, according to results posted by the school.

In the finals, Thomas notched a winning time of 4:34.06 — good enough for a new Ivy League record.

The swimmer continued smashing records on Saturday with a nearly 7-second victory in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:41.93 — representing the fastest finish in the country, the school said.

Over the weekend, Thomas also set a new program, meet and pool record in the 1650-yard freestyle. She finished that race in 15:59.71 — more than 38 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, teammate Anna Kalandadze

I’ve always suspected that Lia was not entirely supported by her teammates, and I was correct.

‘Secretly Everyone Just Knows It’s The Wrong Thing To Do’: Teammate Of U Penn Transgender Swimmer Sounds Off | The Daily Wire

Thomas’ participation in women’s athletics has drawn the ire of many who see Thomas’ massive victories as unfair. As reported by OutKick, this includes one of Thomas’ female teammates.

According to OutKick, the teammate fears that she will not be able to find employment after college if she shares her honest opinion, choosing instead to remain anonymous as she revealed friction within the team due to Thomas’ presence.

“Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. Our coach [Mike Schnur] just really likes winning. He’s like most coaches. I think secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do,” the female Penn swimmer said during a phone interview.

“When the whole team is together, we have to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, go Lia, that’s great, you’re amazing.’ It’s very fake,” she added.

Sure, no one wants to look like they’re intolerant. But these girls compete to win. They don’t want to lose to someone who is cheating, who has an unfair advantage. Even if that person is on their own team.

All of you supporters of this, what will you say when the 2024 Olympics rolls around and some Communist country bring an entire “women’s team” full of “transgendered females” and they dominate every single sport? While our American women athletes get Silvers and Bronze medals.

It will happen.

Maybe not in 2024, but this isn’t decades away. It’s going to happen. Soon.

“The Ivy League is not a fast league for swimming, so that’s why it’s particularly ridiculous that we could potentially have an NCAA champion. That’s unheard of coming from the Ivy League,” Thomas’ teammate explained.

“On paper, if Lia Thomas gets back down to Will Thomas’ best times, those numbers are female world records. Faster than all the times Katie Ledecky went in college. Faster than any other Olympian you can think of. His times in three events are [female] world records.”

Soon.

Even Men Know This

Memo to Woke: Women Don’t Want Men in Restroom Stall Next to Them (dailysignal.com)

This article was written by a woman, but even men know this. Heck, men don’t want men in the restroom stall next to them. We’re smelly. We make weird noises. We’re terrible at cleaning up after ourselves. You take your life into your own hands when you step into a public restroom that has been used or is being used by a man.

And those are our good qualities.

Students attending Chicago public schools can now use whatever restroom they want. The change is being made in an effort to be more “inclusive” and “equitable,” according to Camie Pratt, chief Title IX officer for Chicago Public Schools.

“All restrooms are open for use by anyone who feels comfortable,” Pratt said in a recent video announcing the change.

Pratt says the change is being made in an effort to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s Title IX protections against discrimination, but there are serious concerns about how the policy will affect students.

Why would you think this could possibly be a good idea? Do I need to refer you to my series on Loudoun County, Virginia?

Idiots.

Good Question

‘Who Is Making These Ridiculous Decisions’: Chicago Public Schools Blasted For Eliminating Boys And Girls Separate Restrooms | The Daily Wire

So, CPS made this announcement:

ICYMI: We’re requiring all schools to adopt new signage to make our restrooms more inclusive. This is a big step forward for gender equity for our students and staff. pic.twitter.com/4JPBdd1jQy

— CPS - Chicago Public Schools (@ChiPubSchools) November 30, 2021

The details are frustrating, to say the least.

Some examples of the signs state: “This is a gender-neutral restroom with multiple stalls. It is open to users of any gender identity or expression.” “Men’s +: This restroom has both urinals and stalls. All who feel comfortable are welcome to use this restroom.” “Women’s +: This restroom has stalls. All who feel comfortable are welcome to use this restroom.”

And what if I’m not comfortable with either?

The announcement went over like a lead balloon.

Some comments responding on social media included:

My girls will not feel comfortable sharing a bathroom with boys. Who is making these ridiculous decisions? Who is making sure girls are not harassed or bullied in these stalls? Where can my child get privacy to ensure no boy will try to peek at her while she is in a stall?

This is backwards, not acceptable. What about the girls that have their periods that are already uncomfortable in their [restrooms] now their being subjected to having boys in there too? NO!!!!!

Wow, I guess nobody learned anything from the sexual assaults that took in place in Virginia because of similar policies. My child will never attend a school with such policies that endanger students.

The last comment should hit home the hardest. After what happened in Loudoun County, why would anyone do this? Just how stupid are you?

I Was Thinking About This Just Today

For years, one of the arguments from the left has been that men shouldn’t participate in the debate about abortion, because men can’t get pregnant. And Whoopi falls into this same trap.

Whoopi Goldberg Goes Full Transphobe in Rant on Supreme Court – PJ Media

Why do I call it a trap, when it’s been the standard argument for so long?

Because the new argument is that men can get pregnant. Get with the times.

Earlier this year, Twitter actually suspended a politician in Spain for saying that “a man cannot get pregnant.”  We recently learned that a pregnant man emoji would soon be coming to smartphones. Back in October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an “urgent health advisory” in which they urged “pregnant people” to get vaccinated against COVID-19, because, apparently, women aren’t the only ones who can get pregnant… according to radical left-wing gender theory.

This is similar to the same pickle that J.K. Rowling finds herself in. She’s trying to defend women’s rights. But by doing so, she’s portrayed as anti-trans. She’s not anti-trans. She’s just a feminist, pure and simple.

But you can’t be a feminist anymore if that means that your views of the need to uplift women conflict with the views of others of the need to uplift trans people.

So when Whoopi goes on a rant about men not being able to have babies, she’s doing the same thing.

The article here is tongue-in-cheek, but i am definitely not being facetious. This is the logic pretzel that the left has twisted themselves into. I don’t know how they get out of it without the help of M.C. Escher.

"Do any of you men have any eggs or the possibility of carrying a fetus? How dare you talk about what a fetus wants! You have no idea."

Who Couldn’t Have Seen This Coming Too?

U Penn Swimmer Competed As Male For 3 Years. Now Dominating Women’s Competitions Identifying As Female | The Daily Wire

This is going to be the destruction of women’s sports.

In November, a University of Pennsylvania swimmer who swam for the men’s team for the previous three years swam for the women’s team, dominating the competition.

Lia Thomas formerly used the name Will Thomas. Swim Swam reported on November 20 that Thomas “blasted the number one 200 free time and the second-fastest 500 free time in the nation on Saturday, breaking Penn program records in both events.” Thomas “swept the 100-200-500 free individual events and contributed to the first-place 400 free relay in a tri-meet against Princeton and Cornell,” the outlet reported.

But wait, there’s more.

Earlier in November, Swim Swam reported that at the competition between Columbia women’s swimming and diving team and Penn’s, Thomas “took home a pair of gold medals in the 200 free and 100 free with margins of 5.4 seconds and 1.3 seconds. … Thomas, who swam as Will Thomas on the Quakers’ men’s team as a freshman, sophomore, and junior, took the 2020-21 season off and is swimming with the women’s team as a senior this season.”

Let’s imagine this for a whole team. Take a top 30-ish men’s college basketball team. Probably not much of a chance of winning the national title. Now let them all declare to be trans at the same time. Think they wouldn’t be huge favorites in every single game as a women’s team?

Who is going to put a stop to this madness?

The French Non-binary Pronoun War Heats Up

You’ll recall that I discussed this here: Chris of Rights: Umm…I don’t Get It

Well, it’s back in the news again.

Althouse: "There are two pronouns: he and she. Our language is beautiful. And two pronouns are appropriate."

Said the French first lady, Brigitte Macron, quoted in "In a Nonbinary Pronoun, France Sees a U.S. Attack on the Republic/When a French dictionary included the gender-nonspecific 'iel' for the first time, a virulent reaction erupted over 'wokisme' exported from American universities" (NYT).

Lilian Delhomme, 24, a gender-nonconforming student of international affairs at the University of Paris 8 who has been using the pronoun “iel” for about a year, was appalled by Ms. Macron’s statement.

“This for me was very violent,” Mx. Delhomme said in an interview. “Coming from the first lady, from a woman, from a French teacher, from someone whose relationship went against many societal norms, it made me lose hope.”

The French First Lady is opposed to the language addition. She says it’s a beautiful language, and this is an awkward addition. She’s correct on both counts. If they actually had a true non-binary pronoun, that might be worthwhile, but a non-binary pronoun that has two gender forms is, well, stupid.

I Don’t Have a Problem With This, and I’m Sure We’ll See More of It

This is important to some people, and while some of us may not always understand it, we should at least sympathize with it.

Marks & Spencer offers pronoun badges to staff (yahoo.com)

Except for “they”. I draw the line there. I won’t call a single person “they”. And I’m sorry if that offends you. Your choice of a plural pronoun to describe yourself offends me. Unless you have two heads or are suffering from multiple personality disorder, you cannot physically be a “they”. There’s a limit to how far I will ignore science, and that’s my limit.

No, don’t try to argue me out of it. I’m really not interested in what you think are valid arguments. I will admit to being completely close-minded on this issue. My mind is made up, and nothing you or anyone else says is going to change it.

If, at some point in the future, I change my mind (not bloody likely), I will let you know.

I Agree With Very Little That Jo Rowling Says, but She’s Dead on Here

Althouse: "Perhaps – and I’m just throwing this out there – the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us."

Quoting this post in it’s entirety.

Tweeted JK Rowling, quoted in "JK Rowling’s address posted on Twitter by trans activists" (London Times).

“Over the last few years I’ve watched, appalled, as women like Allison Bailey, Raquel Sanchez, Marion Miller, Rosie Duffield, Joanna Cherry, Julie Bindel, Rosa Freedman, Kathleen Stock and many, many others, including women who have no public profile but who’ve contacted me to relate their experiences, have been subject to campaigns of intimidation which range from being hounded on social media, the targeting of their

employers, all the way up to doxing and direct threats of violence, including rape. None of these women are protected in the way I am. They and their families have been put into a state of fear and distress for no other reason than that they refuse to uncritically accept that the socio-political concept of gender identity should replace that of sex."

Truth.

Translation: IOC Kills Women’s Sports

International Olympic Committee Says Biological Male Trans Athletes Should Not Have to Lower Testosterone to Compete in Women’s Events (dailysignal.com)

And 50+ years of progress in women’s athletics…pffft…wiped away with the stroke of a pen.

The International Olympic Committee recommended that sports organizations allow biologically male, transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports without lowering their testosterone levels.

The committee stated that no athlete should be excluded from competition based on unverified, alleged, or perceived unfair competitive advantage due to biological sex in a Tuesday report. The report says athletes should compete in sports based on their self-determined gender identity and should not be subject to “targeted testing” to determine biological sex.

If you’re a male athlete who desperately wants to compete in the Olympics, but you’re just not quite good enough, declare yourself trans, enter the women’s events. The gold medal is yours.

“Athletes should not be deemed to have an unfair or disproportionate competitive advantage due to their sex variations, physical appearance and/or transgender status,” the report said.

But they do, and to deny that is to deny reality. You can’t change truth because of your beliefs. Women’s sports will suffer horribly for this. And it’s not even a matter of time. They’re already suffering, and it’s going to get dramatically worse quickly.

The Ostracization of J.K. Rowling Shows That You Can Never Be Good Enough to Please the Left

She’s a dream leftie, except on just one issue. She believes that women’s rights are under attack by transgenderism. And she’s right.

So, this is just sad.

Unreal: J.K. Rowling Will Not Be Interviewed For 20th Anniversary Special | The Daily Wire

In a signal indication of how insufferably arrogant and nasty Hollywood is, a Harry Potter retrospective to be released on the 20^th anniversary celebration of the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” has invited much of the cast from all eight Harry Potter films, but will not feature any new interviews from Harry Potter’s creator, J.K. Rowling.

“The release made no mention of Rowling when listing those participating in the retrospective. While Harry Potter remains a beloved franchise, Rowling sparked backlash from the trans community after saying that transgender individuals should be defined by their biological sex. Sources close to the project note that the retrospective will focus on the creation of the film and the central cast/team. Rowling will, however, be featured in archival footage. She will not make a new appearance in the special,” The Hollywood Reporter noted.

Ridiculous.

What did she do that was so horrible?

She added, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased…. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives.”

She also stated, “My life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”

Yeah, that’s awful. She might as well be Hitler.

The left is impossible to please. You are not allowed to have any of your own opinions.

We Can Officially Stop Calling It ”Alleged” Now

Oh, and we’re back in Loudoun.

Loudoun County Student Won’t Contest Sexual Battery Charge (dailysignal.com)

Our transgender rapist is not disputing the facts of the case.

A juvenile court judge found the same male student guilty of sexually assaulting a different female student in an October case, Fox 5 DC reported. The “no contest” plea in this second case “means the boy is not admitting guilt, but he is not disputing the facts,” according to Fox.

So, we now know that he raped the girl in the girls bathroom. Good. Now we need to figure out what to do about it.

By the way, I am not insensitive to the plight of the people with gender dysphoria, or to the fully transgendered. I think we need to accept people for who they are and to make accommodations however we can.

I object to a person using that to be able to commit crimes. People like the rapist in this case are not helping the transgendered cause and shouldn’t be used as a martyr. I have my doubts as to his transgenderism. I think he just wore a skirt so he could get into the girls bathroom.

We should all be able to agree that this is a bad thing, regardless of our gender identities or our feelings on transgenderism.

We Have Lost All Concept of the Freedom of Speech

Catholic Student Suspended From Football After Allegedly Insisting There Are Two Genders. Now He’s Suing The School District. | The Daily Wire

He was on a school bus and got into an argument with another student. He expressed his Catholic beliefs. And got suspended from football for it.

He should sue everyone involved all the way to bankruptcy.

“M.P. had an exchange with a progressive student, who is described as not being transgendered, on a school bus. During the conversation, M.P. relayed his belief informed by Catholic teaching that there are two genders, male and female. This exchange was followed by a conversation between the two students over a text messaging app,” NH Journal reported.

The student in question wanted to be addressed as “they”. That one is a bridge too far for me. Unless you have two heads, you are not “they”. Period. I’m willing to consider the other crazy options such as “ze” or “xe”, but forget “they”. It ain’t happenin’. A singular person can never be a “they”.

Once Again We Return to Loudoun County

Man, this is one screwed up school district.

Virginia Judge Sides With Teacher Suspended After Opposing Loudoun Transgender Policy, Can’t Be Punished for Beliefs | The Daily Wire

He was suspended for voicing his opinion on a proposed policy at a school board meeting.

Umm..isn’t that the point of school board meetings? To provide input on proposals so that they can be improved or discarded?

A Virginia judge granted a permanent injunction protecting the speech rights of a Loudoun County teacher who was placed on leave last May following remarks at a school board meeting about a proposed transgender policy.

The ruling blocks the Loudoun County School Board from punishing Tanner Cross, a physical education teacher at Leesburg Elementary School, for his views about Policy 8040, which is the district’s transgender policy. 

“Teachers shouldn’t be forced to promote ideologies that are harmful to their students and that they believe are false, and they certainly shouldn’t be silenced from commenting at public meetings,” said Tyson Langhofer, a lawyer with Alliance Defending Freedom who has been representing Cross.

“While we are very pleased that Tanner will be able to keep serving his students in light of this settlement, the concerns expressed in our ongoing lawsuit challenging the district’s policy remain,” he added.

Cross spoke up at a school board meeting in May, saying that he did not support Policy 8040, which was being considered at the time. Soon after the meeting, he was placed on administrative leave.

How did they think they could get away with this? This is a clear trampling of his First Amendment rights. It was at a school board meeting, not in class. He wasn’t out picketing in front of the school building. He didn’t even (as far as I can tell) say he would not adhere to the proposal if it passed. He said he shouldn’t have to, but didn’t say he wouldn’t.

This is tyranny. And we’re all just happy to go along.

Pence Is Right

Seriously, there are topics unrelated to Virginia. I promise.

Pence Demands School Officials Resign for 'Cover-Up' of Sexual Assaults (dailysignal.com)

The whole board needs to resign, as well as some administrators at the schools.

But, as events in Loudoun County schools continued to go viral, the former vice president began his remarks by noting: “The eyes of the nation are on Loudoun County, Virginia.”

“It’s amazing to think in recent weeks, Loudoun County has becoming the epicenter of a powerful movement that is spreading all across this country—a movement of concerned parents and patriotic citizens demanding an end to curriculums that divide our nation and accountability for educational bureaucrats who put political correctness ahead of the interest of our kids,” Pence said.

Good start. Now bring it home.

“School board members and anyone responsible for this tragedy and cover-up should resign immediately,” Pence said, referring to sexual assaults that the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said were committed by the same teenage boy at two different high schools.

Yep. They should. If they had any class or decency, they would have already. Of course, if they had any class or decency, this never would have happened in the first place.

This Just Shows That Women Are No Longer a Protected Class

A few dozen weirdos protested at Netflix because of some jokes that made their tummies hurt and it was headline news. Right now hundreds of students in Loudoun County are protesting the rape of a student and subsequent cover up, and the media is all but ignoring it.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 26, 2021

In both instances, the media and the left bent over backwards to support the protected class of the day, transgenders. Women have been kicked to the curb. And if you don’t believe me, look at how the left regards Women’s Sports.

The Subheading Is Perfect: Real Women Appreciate This

Governor Abbott Signs Bill Banning Trans Girls From Female Sports (lifezette.com)

Texas Governor Abbott signed a bill into law on Monday banning transgender girls from competing in female sports at public schools. Several other states across the country have already signed similar laws. The law is set to go into effect on January 18, 2022.

Those who support the bill say that the purpose is to create fairness in school sports due to the inherent physical advantage that transgender women have when playing on female teams. Equal rights advocates say it is discrimination and hate-driven claiming that transgender women have no advantage despite the fact they were born as a male.

Allowing biological males to compete in female sports will destroy female sports. I understand the desires of transgenders to compete, and I admit that I don’t know how to help them. I do know that letting them compete against girls & women is the wrong answer. It will set women’s athletics back 50 years.

Maybe the First Student Walk Out I’ve Ever Been Proud to See

Loudoun County Students Stage Walk-Outs to Protest Sexual Assault in Schools | National Review

Our rapist has been transferred to a new school. It didn’t go over well.

On Tuesday, students walked out of Broad Run High School, where the attacker was relocated and is still technically enrolled. The teenage defendant will receive sentencing after the second set of charges dealing with the Broad Run accusations are adjudicated, the judge said Tuesday.

Outside the school, a group of students chanted “Loudoun County protects rapists,” Drew Wilder of NBC Washington reported. “Why was a rapist allowed in our school?” another student shouted. “This isn’t a political issue, this is a human issue. Listen to the students,” a third student exclaimed.

Washington Post Reporter Frames Loudoun County Sexual Assault In Way Paper Would Not Frame Other Accusations | The Daily Wire

A teen testified she met a classmate for consensual sex in the girls’ bathroom of a Loudoun County high school before, but in a May encounter she was sexually assaulted. New details in the case at the center of a firestorm https://t.co/wON6Y7EpRD

— justin jouvenal (@jjouvenal) October 26, 2021

Ok, so the girl in question is a slut. I’m sure reading that in the paper is going to continue to make the dad happy.

But she didn’t go in there for consensual sex this time. Unless the paper is trying to bring that into question.

What happened to #BelieveAllWomen

I didn’t realize it was #BelieveAllWomenNotClaimingToBeAttackedBySomeoneInAProtectedGroup

That doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well.

This is a disgusting attack.

More from Daily Wire:

The wording of the tweet didn’t make it clear that the female victim had sex with the same student in the bathroom prior to her accusation of sexual assault. Jouvenal’s article on the case makes this clear:

During the hearing, the 15-year-old victim in the first case testified she had consensual sexual encounters with the defendant on two occasions in a girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn. On May 28, she said, the two arranged to meet again and the youth threw her to the floor and forced her to perform sex acts.

What made the final encounter different, according to the female victim’s testimony, is that the male student forced her to perform a sex act she had repeatedly refused to participate in. As the Post reported, the victim and the perpetrator had “sexually charged” conversations on a social media app prior to the assault, during which the young woman repeatedly refused to participate in a particular sex act desired by her attacker. One day before the assault, the victim was hospitalized “because of a health condition that made her weak, and the defendant ‘utilized her physical helplessness’ to take advantage of her,” the Post reported.

“He flipped me over,” the girl testified, per the Post. “I was on the ground and couldn’t move and he sexually assaulted me.”

Jouvenal’s tweet about the article generated a backlash online, with conservative comedian Tim Young wrote: “Oh look… the Washington Post victim blames teens who were raped now.” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, wrote: “So what you’re saying is ‘she asked for it’?”

Yes, I see that Christina Pushaw and I had the same reaction.

Once again, this is disgusting, but not surprising. Very little from the left surprises me anymore. They’re all just horrible people.

 

“Murky” Would Not Be a Word They Would Use if the Roles Were Reversed Here

AP Slams Youngkin For Citing of "Murky Case" of Rape - Victory Girls Blog

Glenn Youngkin wants voters in Virginia to hear an urgent message: Your children are in danger.

In a speech in Northern Virginia’s suburbs last week, the Republican candidate for governor highlighted the murky case of a student who allegedly committed sex crimes in two area schools.

Murky? Murky? While it is proper for an alleged news organization to report charges that have not reached final adjudication as “alleged”, the word murky implies that there is something suspicious or dishonest about those charges.

So much for “Believe All Women”

Suddenly, it’s “murky” when a Democrat is in trouble.

The girl was raped.

She was raped because Virginia schools allow boys in girls bathrooms.

This is not murky.

This is a failure of policy. One that was entirely predictable, and in fact was predicted by many.

But Democrats decided that appealing to a minority constituency was more important than parental concerns about their children’s safety.

And now that the predictable has happened, they want to distance themselves from the whole situation. They can’t. And Youngkin is right to hammer McAuliffe on this. He should hit him hard. Over and over and over.

And AP is stupid to try to cover for McAuliffe on this. They make themselves looks ridiculous.
