Скачать или смотреть DeSantis: NCAA runner-up who lost to trans athlete ‘best female swimmer’

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday said he plans to issue a proclamation declaring the runner-up in the NCAA 500-yard women’s freestyle event the “best female swimmer” in the event.

Lia Thomas, a transgender woman who swam for the University of Pennsylvania, won the event on Thursday by nearly two seconds.

The governor’s comments came at an unrelated news conference Tuesday in Wesley Chapel. Unprompted, DeSantis poured fuel on the raging national controversy over who should be allowed to participate in women’s sports.

“We need to stop allowing organizations like the NCAA to perpetuate frauds on the public, and that’s exactly what they’re doing,” DeSantis said.
