Liberal podcaster Keith Olbermann blasted swimming champion Riley Gaines for her support of a Nebraskan bill that defined sex as biological.
Gaines took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to applaud Gov. Jim Pillen (R-NE) on formulating a "Women's Bill of Rights" in an executive order on Wednesday. The order clarifies that "a 'female' is an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova."

Gov Pillen signed an EO on the Women's Bill of Rights on 8/30.
THAT is leadership. Thanks for implementing @IWV's WBOR and protecting nearly 1 million Nebraskan women. The tide is turning. pic.twitter.com/pNCKXSIxLl
"THAT is leadership," Gaines wrote of the order. "Thanks for implementing [the Independent Women's Voice's Women's Bill of Rights] and protecting nearly 1 million Nebraskan women. The tide is turning."
"Can you just address the reality and move past it?" Olbermann responded to a post from Gaines on the subject. "You sucked at swimming. That's why you lost."
"Ah, makes sense now why you got fired from ESPN," Gaines replied. Olbermann hasn't worked for the sports network since October 2020.

Gaines also blasted state Sen. Megan Hunt for criticizing the executive order. The former NCAA swimmer shared Hunt's response with a clown emoji caption and suggested the voters in her district "remember that next election."
"I'm term limited dude — don't worry," Hunt wrote back. She was referring to Nebraska's law that limits senators to two consecutive terms but allows for another senatorial run after four years.

Hunt is four years into her first term. She won her seat as a Democratic candidate, but in May, she announced she left the party and registered as nonpartisan.
Gaines has garnered popularity online after launching a social media campaign surrounding the debate about transgender women in sports. She has been outspoken on the subject since she tied last year for fifth in the 200-meter NCAA championships with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
