Chaos erupted at an Oregon college Monday night as five people were arrested for protesting a speech given by former college swimmer and trans-athlete critic Riley Gaines.
Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer who gained a following speaking out against transgender athletes competing against female athletes, was scheduled to give a talk at Portland State University’s Smith Memorial Student Union, KPTV reported.
Video shared on X by Andy Ngo showed fired-up protesters trying to open the doors of the student union as police worked to keep them out.
Students can be heard yelling “F*** you, pigs!” in the clip, which Gaines later retweeted, writing, “They really are such a joyful, tolerant bunch.”
Can anyone imagine what giving these violent foul mouthed freaks 4 more years of power in the Oval Office will bring?
