You don't mess with Alex From The Block!
Former swimmer Riley Gaines, three years removed from a 5th place tie with trans competitor Lia Thomas, made the same mistake other right wing dimbulbs have ever since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez entered Congress. Picking a fight with AOC is never a good idea.
This started Sunday after Gaines posted a photo of AOC with NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, whining that the trio were destroying the US from within. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. The trio were at a rally for Mamdani which drew 13,000 supporters, with Election Day right around the corner.
AOC, of course, brought the receipts, posting on X that "Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster, you wouldn't have come in 5th".
So Gaines went on Fox No News, and said she'd challenge AOC to a debate. Oh, please, that is asking for trouble. Gaines, married and a mother of one child, should've just walked away. AOC counter-challenged Gaines to "find a real job". For all we know, Gaines could've been auditioning for a gig with Fox No News, but as the photo above suggests, she's a prototypical right wing woman these days. A deer in the headlights.
A Bluesky user offered this analogy:
Considering how AOC has shredded fellow lawmakers like Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and, more recently, professional troll Stephen Miller, she's proven that unlike the poser in the White House, she really is New York tough. And Riley just got made into, well, Gaines Burgers.
For being gullible enough to challenge AOC, Riley Gaines gets the Dunce Cap.
