If there’s one thing you can always expect, it’s dumb female Democrat politicians. They seem to be everywhere, and it’s astonishing how some of these women appear to have no clue about what they’re doing. Just look at Kathy Hochul; this so-called “governor” seems to lack a fundamental understanding of the laws governing special elections in her own state. She’s utterly clueless and thought she got to appoint the next congressman in George Santos’ seat. She missed the mark by a long shot.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sparking confusion online as some users on X believe a comment she made on social media indicated that she intends to fill the seat of expelled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., herself, and not hold a special election to fill the vacancy.
When Hochul posted her reaction to Santos’ expulsion on X at 11:14 a.m., she did not refer to an election, which led some users to infer that the governor would try to select Santos’ replacement.
“I am prepared to undertake the solemn responsibility of filling the vacancy in New York’s 3rd District. The people of Long Island deserve nothing less,” Hochul wrote on X, with no mention of a special election.
That’s just one example, and sadly, there are many, many more. Just the other day, Sheila Jackson Lee mistakenly urged her supporters to vote on the wrong day.
And now, another female Democrat found herself on the receiving end of a tough life lesson and public humiliation, courtesy of a conservative woman—a former swimmer, to be exact. Riley Gaines, the courageous former college swimmer who has taken a stand on transgender and sports issues, recently appeared before Congress and engaged in a fiery exchange with a Democratic lawmaker who wasn’t prepared for the sharp-witted Riley.
During her testimony later in the hearing, Gaines said, “Unsafe, unfair, and discriminatory practices towards women must stop. Inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness.”
Then addressing Lee directly, Gaines added, “If my testimony makes me transphobic, then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.”
Shortly thereafter, Lee, who just took office in January, called on Subcommittee Chairwoman GOP Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan to have Gaines’ remarks about her struck from the record, saying the witness was “engaging in personalities.”
The House “personalities” decorum rule has to do with how members of Congress address each other, requiring them to debate the issues at hand and not engage in personal attacks. However, it does not have to do with how witnesses before the committee address lawmakers.
Ironically, it was Lee who initiated the name-calling, and then she attempted to employ a rule intended for House members to try to shield themselves. This woman was all sorts of confused.
In the end, the congresswoman had so much egg on her face that she could have made an omelet. Realizing she had been bested and to spare herself further public humiliation, she retracted her point of order.
Ouch.

Thank goodness for Riley, a sharp and savvy woman who isn’t afraid to stand up to this hateful and uninformed mob. The left seems quite eager to trash the rights of young women athletes in order to provide a (hairy) leg up for cross-dressing men. Shameful.
