At a recent Trump rally in Salem, Virginia, the Roanoke College women’s swimming team made quite the splash.
These athletes were invited on stage to share their tale of bravery against the unfairness of men invading their space.
President Donald Trump reminded the crowd of the saga of a male swimmer who dared to join their ranks.
Team captain, Lily Mullens, then went on to thank President Trump for his support and his willingness to fight for them, while Kamala Harris has been very clear in her anti-women stance in this area.

Fox News reports:
Members of the Roanoke College women’s swimming team who spoke up against a transgender athlete trying to join the team last year were invited on stage at Donald Trump’s rally in Salem, Virginia, Saturday.
The team wore shirts that said “Keep [hot dogs] out of women’s sports.”
ADVERTISEMENTPrior to bringing them up on stage, Trump explained the backstory of when a former member of the men’s swim team at the school attempted to join the women’s squad last year.
“Last year, the radical left’s gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College’s women’s swim team,” Trump said. “I just met them backstage. They’re great swimmers. … The brave members of the swim team stood up to the transgender fanatics, something new in our country.”
After Trump’s introduction, a team captain, Lily Mullens, spoke.
“Thank you so much, President Trump. As female athletes especially, we know that men have an inherent advantage over women in sports, and due to current policies, though, men are competing against women of all ages in all sports,” Mullens said.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have advocated for and pushed for this anti-woman, sex-based discrimination to continue all over this country. And point-blank, it’s unfair.
“So, I would like to thank you, President Trump, for standing with women and promising to protect the rights of all of us. We are so lucky to have a leader like Donald Trump — with common sense — who knows what a strong woman is and will fight for generations of girls to come.”
Trump “promise[d] to keep men out of women’s sports” at the rally.
Check out their shirts. Haha!
