Riley Gaines, an NCAA champion swimmer who was forced to compete and share a bathroom with a transgender competitor, warned voters about Vice President Harris.

Gaines appeared on Fox News Channel's “Jesse Waters Primetime” and criticized the Paris Olympics boxing controversy for allowing an Algerian boxer, who was deemed to have male chromosomes in 2023, to fight women.

The former Kentucky star warned Americans tuning in to the event what voting for Harris would mean.

“Crickets for Kamala, crickets for the women of 'The View.' And if I could implore you, a vote for Kamala is a vote against your daughter's future,” the “Gaines for Girls” podcast host and OutKick contributor told Watters.

“I see a lot of people on social media saying they're voting for Kamala because she's a woman. Well, let me tell you, Jesse, I'm voting for Trump because I'm a woman.”

The boxer in question was Imane Khelif, who won a fight against Italian Angela Carini in less than a minute. Carini was left in tears.

Khelif was in the middle of a controversy over gender eligibility during the 2023 International Boxing Association Women's World Championships. Khelif was disqualified.
