As Twitchy reported earlier, swimmer Riley Gaines, an outspoken opponent of allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports, saw CNN take an interesting tack on her assault by protesters at San Francisco State University. “I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man,” Gaines recalls, but according to CNN, “A video Gaines posted from the event showed her moving quickly while surrounded by security officers. A protester can be heard shouting ‘trans rights are human rights,’ but the video is shaky and does not appear to show an assault.”
Andy Ngo has posted more video from the event, and one “protester” suggests Gaines pay them each $10 to allow her to leave.
“Tell her to pay us, then she can go.”
Violent extremist #trans activists demanded money after creating a hostage situation over women’s sports advocate @Riley_Gaines_ at @SFSU on April 6. Those involved in the attempted kidnapping have not been arrested. pic.twitter.com/BzaBY1WRyk

That’s kidnapping.

Gaines says to imagine if the roles were reversed:
Imagine if the roles were reversed and a group of white, conservatives ambushed someone within the LGBTQ community, physically assaulted them, and held them for ransom for 3 hrs…
There would be arrests and repercussions for the perpetrators and administration who allowed this.

There would be marches nationwide.
Instead, the campus police and University did nothing. They were scared to assert any force and adequately do their job for fear of coming off as racist, transphobic, or anything other than an ally to the community.
I'm tired of the double standard. When will enough be enough?

They are a favored class in the eyes of the powers-that-be, and you (we) are not. It was never about ‘equality.’

Absolutely true, and rightfully so. Charges should be filed.

The double standard is astounding. They say their rights are being taken away but really it’s just the left using them to get what they want.

It wasn’t the LGBTQ+ community that held you captive. It was the TQ+ community. Most of the LGB community is on your side.

It’d be called domestic terrorism, there’d be mass arrests & all sorts of political repercussions.

Soon men will be allowed to beat women again as long as they identify as a woman first, it's already happening I'm sure the media just doesn't report it that way

If roles were reversed we’d have been absolutely flooded w/the images on all news outlets & Media.
There would have been an outcry of anger & disgust from every journalist, politicians, entertainers & sports figures.
Would have eventually been discussed on congressional floor

Riley Gaines is 100% correct.
The LGBTQIA+ supremacy agenda allows for double-standards on just about every front.
It's no wonder why so many impressionable young people want to be part of the club. It grants them special treatment in America today. https://t.co/zXpvhu8rtE

Yes, Kamala and Dylan would be on their way to San Francisco for a Presser with FULL media coverage, and Joe would be prepping for a nighttime national address.
— Conservative Momma (@conmomma) April 8, 2023
I was talking to my husband about this yesterday. Not only would there be arrests, the White House would make a public statement condemning the perpetrators.
— Amber Harding Snyder (@TheAmberHarding) April 8, 2023
There’s absolutely no doubt that the White House would have a statement prepared. The media would ask Karine Jean Pierre what President Joe Biden had to say about it.
