Political Quotes

I thank Congresswoman Foxx for her leadership and friendship. You are a pretty cool lady. Madam Speaker, Title IX of the Civil Rights Act was passed to protect women from being unfairly denied opportunities in education and sports. Can you imagine drawing the short stick and having to defend allowing men to compete in women's sports and take trophies from young ladies or even careers away from hardworking female athletes? Of course, the most famous time this happened was when my friend Riley Gaines tied with a man in her swim meet--I say ``man'' in lower case letters but she didn't get a trophy because they wanted to give it to him instead. They also had to suffer the punishment of having to see this guy walk around without any clothes on and his lack of manhood, I guess. I recently asked Riley about men competing in women's sports in a committee hearing. She said that some men started competing before they were taking hormones. She also said something we already knew: Hormone treatments don't alter a man's bone structure, lung capacity, or his height. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
