Another Trans Athlete Swept A Women’s Tournament. Don’t Expect These California Dems To Care.

A biological male swept two out of three state titles at the California state track and field championships on Saturday, sparking backlash from Republican groups who accused California’s Democratic congressional delegation of failing to advocate for fairness in female athletics.

Transgender athlete AB Hernandez won first place in the high school girls’ high and triple jump championship events — at one of the most competitive meets in the country — while placing second in the long jump. Though California’s sports governing body instituted last-minute changes to accommodate female athletes who could have been bumped down a ranking by a male competitor, House Republicans’ campaign arm blasted the state’s congressional Democrats for failing to denounce California’s ongoing defiance of President Trump’s executive order on women’s sports.

“Radical, out of touch vulnerable Democrats in California are so obsessed with identity 🏛️Politics, they’d rather sacrifice female athletes than upset their activist base,” NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez said in a statement to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “They’re not just ignoring common sense, they’re shoving it off the podium right alongside California biological female athletes. It’s cowardly and disgraceful.”

The DCNF reached out to five California House Democrats who sit in competitive seats that the NRCC is seeking to flip during the midterms: Democratic Reps. Adam Gray, Josh Harder, Derek Tran, George Whitesides and David Min.
