If there’s one thing the left hates more than a woman, it’s a woman who dares to step outside the left’s designated soapbox. So while it’s disgusting that Riley Gaines can’t step on a college campus without getting accosted, threatened, and physically assaulted, it’s not exactly a surprise.
Gaines, NCAA swimmer and pro-women’s sports advocate, was slated to speak at Portland State University’s Smith Memorial Student Union Monday night, prompting an all-out riot from anti-woman liberals that led to five people getting arrested and charged with criminal offenses.
Police in full riot gear were called to the campus around 7 p.m. after a mob of people - it’s not yet clear how many were students - rushed the doors of the building, trying to get in and screaming all manner of profanity. Rioters can be heard on video screaming "F*** you, pigs!" at the cops while assaulting officers and trying to break through the door.

Five people were arrested for “various crimes,” according to police, who said they plan to release the criminals’ names and charges soon.

Gaines has been an outspoken advocate for women’s sports and against the insulin of biological men on girls’ teams after she was forced to compete against William “Lia” Thomas, a male who was allowed to swim on the women’s team at UPenn and who went on to “win” the women's 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
Gaines is scheduled to speak at San Francisco State University on Tuesday, the same school where she was forced to barricade herself inside a building with security thanks to a violent mob trying to attack her during a 2023 event.
