Congressman Sarah McBride (D-Del.) and dozens of his female compatriots wore bright pink outfits to President Donald Trump’s address to Congress Tuesday evening.
New Mexico Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D) told Time magazine that the pink costumes were supposed to signal their opposition to “Trump’s policies which are negatively impacting women and families.”
Critics have suggested that the low-effort protest ultimately served another purpose: to highlight Democratic lawmakers’ hypocrisy as well as the emptiness of their rhetoric about women.
Payton McNabb, who Trump honored in his speech and is an ambassador for the Independent Women’s Forum, told Fox News, “Last night, I thought that the pink suits and everyone matching was real cute when, of course, the day before, zero Democrats voted for the protection of women and girls, and then zero Democrats stood and applauded when I was getting recognized for my injury.”
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act is a piece of legislation that would have prohibited federally funded school athletic programs from allowing men to invade programs intended for women or girls.
In January, 206 House Democrats voted against the bill, and on Monday, Democrats blocked the corresponding bill in the U.S. Senate even though the supermajority of Americans — 79%, according to a recent New York Times/Ipsos poll — want to see athletes compete in sports teams that conform to their sex.
McNabb knows firsthand the consequences of pink-clad Democrats’ preferred policies.
McNabb was a member of the Hiwassee Dam High School girls’ volleyball team in Cherokee County, North Carolina, until a male cross-dresser playing for Highlands High School cut her dreams down in September 2022.
The male Highlands player, who towered over his female opponents at 5’11”, spiked the ball into McNabb’s face, leaving the then-17-year-old unconscious for 30 seconds and leaving her with a brain bleed, a concussion, and whiplash.
The young woman was ultimately left with brain damage, vision issues, and paralysis on her right side — injuries that prevented her from pursuing her dream of securing a volleyball college scholarship.
Although unable to pursue her original dream, McNabb has worked hard in recent years to ensure that other women and girls don’t have their dreams similarly stolen from them by opportunistic men emboldened by Democrat-championed policies.
‘Democrats hate women.’
“Three years ago, Payton McNabb was an all-star high school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future in college sports,” Trump noted in his speech Tuesday. “But when her girls’ volleyball match was invaded by a man, he smashed the ball so hard in Payton’s face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her right side and ending her athletic career. It was a shot like she’s never seen before.”
Trump told McNabb, “From now on, schools will kick the men off the girls’ team or they will lose all federal funding.”
The president added that the inclusion of men in women’s sports is “demeaning for women, and it’s very bad for our country. We’re not going to put up with it any longer.”
The Democrats in pink — including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and McBride, a cross-dresser who has sought access to women’s bathrooms — remained seated and, in many cases, scowling, while others supportive of protections for girls and women stood and applauded.
“They couldn’t be any more anti-woman,” said McNabb, “and frankly, they’re anti-American. They really embarrassed themselves all night.”
McNabb was not alone in calling out the pink-clad Democrats for their apparent hypocrisy.
BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler tweeted, “I’m sorry, didn’t all the Democrats who are wearing pink to highlight ‘women’s rights’ all vote NO on banning men in women’s sports? Frauds.”
Wheeler noted further, “Democrats didn’t stand for Laken Riley. Democrats didn’t stand for Jocelyn Nungaray. Democrats refused to vote to ban boys from girls sports. Democrats are currently parading in their caucus a man wearing a pink dress pretending to be a woman. Democrats hate women.”
Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) wrote in advance of Trump’s address, “When you see Democrats wearing pink for the TV cameras tonight, remember that 45 of them voted for men to invade women’s sports just yesterday. It’s all an act.”
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) noted to the pink-clad Democrats that “it’s hard to be the party of women if you can’t even tell us what a woman is.”
