The public dispute between U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines reveals what’s really at stake in America’s cultural moment: will our nation honor God’s created order or surrender truth to godless ideology?
Watch this short video segment with Riley on Fox News Channel from this morning:
Riley has been boldly standing for fairness and for the safety and dignity of women — insisting that biological males do not belong in women’s sports or women’s locker rooms.
But she does not stand alone!
She speaks not merely from Christian conviction but from lived experience, having been forced to compete against and undress alongside a man who identifies as female.
Yet, instead of listening to female athletes who are harmed by these reckless policies, AOC has chosen to mock and dismiss them. She labels concerns about fairness and safety as “transphobic,” as if defending women’s rights is bigotry. Her contempt during a recent U.S. House hearing — rolling her eyes and ridiculing the testimony of women like Riley Gaines — made it painfully clear: ideology matters more to her than truth, compassion, or biological reality.
And you have to love Riley’s response. When AOC sniped at her on X with a condescending “get a real job,” Riley didn’t take the bait. She fired back with grace and truth:
“I’m a mom — the best job in the world.”
For Christians, this isn’t just a policy disagreement; it’s a spiritual battle over truth itself. Scripture tells us God created us male and female — a distinction fundamental to family, society, and yes, sports. When politicians like AOC try to erase these realities, they aren’t promoting compassion. They are promoting an anti-biblical agenda that replaces God’s design with government-mandated delusion — an agenda that strips women of their privacy, protection, and dignity.
Riley Gaines deserves our support and our prayers. She represents courage that too many political leaders lack. Instead of caving to pressure from woke activists, she stands firm on the truth that God created us male and female — and that this matters in every arena of life, including sports.
