Top Dems Pelosi, AOC and others, claim ignorance on alleged Nike Youth Transgender Athlete study

Well, well, well, here's Nike tripping over its own swoosh. About a month ago, OutKick dropped the bombshell that the sportswear behemoth allegedly bankrolled a study on “transgender” youth athletes—yep, kids, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, the whole nine yards. Since then? Crickets from Nike. Not a peep, not a press release, nada. You’d think a company that loves plastering “Just Do It” on everything would at least say something.

 
But Nike’s not the only one playing mute. The Democrats, those champions of “progress,” have also zipped their lips tighter than a pair of skinny jeans. When OutKick first broke the story, GOP heavyweights like Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, and Tommy Tuberville didn’t hold back, roasting Nike for allegedly funding experiments on minors. But the Dems? OutKick reached out to the usual suspects—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and California’s golden boy Gov. Gavin Newsom—and got nothing. Zilch. It’s like they saw our emails and hit “delete” faster than you can say “woke.”

So, OutKick said, “Fine, we’ll do it the hard way.” We packed our bags and headed to the swamp—er, Washington, D.C.—to ask these Dems face-to-face about Nike’s sketchy study. Spoiler alert: they didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet.

They tracked down Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), AOC, Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Sarah McBride (D-DE), and Crockett. Let’s just say their responses were less “open dialogue” and more “run for the hills.” Pelosi, ever the master of evasion, claimed she “didn’t understand what [we] said.” Instead of, you know, asking for clarification like a normal human, she scurried off to some media-free zone like a kid dodging homework.
Jasmine Crockett? She wouldn’t even let them get a question out. Just a hard “nope” and she was gone.

 
Sarah McBride, the Dem who thinks he's a woman, gave the ol’ “running late” excuse after an aide chimed in with “we have to go back to the office.” McBride tossed in an “I’m sorry” as they bolted, but it felt about as genuine as a prostitute's climax.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries heard the question loud and clear but played dumb, saying he was “unfamiliar” with the Nike study. Unfamiliar? Sure, Hakeem. And I’m “unfamiliar” with pizza. Rather than ask what the deal was, he hightailed it to a restricted area faster than you can say “cover-up.”

Then there’s AOC, the queen of performative progressivism. OutKick caught her after an Energy & Commerce Committee meeting, patiently waiting while she snapped selfies with adoring fans in the hallway. When we finally got a chance to ask about the Nike study, she hit them with, “I haven’t heard anything about that and I don’t want to comment on anything I don’t have any background on.” Translation: “I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole.”

They pushed a little further, asking her thoughts on biological males competing in women’s sports. Her response? “I’m on my way to vote.” Oh, how convenient. Funny how she had plenty of time to pose for pics but couldn’t spare ten seconds to answer a real question. Priorities, right?

While these Dems dodged harder than a linebacker avoiding a tackle, their offices screamed their allegiances loud and clear. Strolling through the Capitol, OutKick couldn’t help but notice the decor. GOP Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) had a giant Trump photo front and center, a nod to the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year. Nancy Mace (R-SC) rocked a banner touting her fight to protect women. Meanwhile, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) flew her pro-Israel flag high.

 
But the Dems? Oh, they were all-in on the rainbow. Transgender flags were proudly displayed outside the offices of AOC, Pelosi, and Ilhan Omar (D-MN). AOC and Omar’s doors were also covered in post-it notes—probably from their fan club—gushing with gems like “Keep being you,” “Thank you for everything,” and “Don’t stop fighting.” Fighting for what, exactly? Apparently not for answering questions about kids and medical experiment.

Meteorologist Bernie Sanders blames CA wildfires on climate change

Climate expert and Sen[ile] Bernie Sanders (Communist-Vahmont) has analyzed the source of the wildfires spreading across California and he has concluded that climate change can be blamed as the cause. 

So if the government leaders of the Golden State believe that global warming is to blame for the fires, why were they totally unprepared to deal with the problem? Santa Ana winds will blow and fires will grow but woke libs don't know what to do about it.

As wildfires ravage California, leaving a trail of horrible devastation in their wake, Sanders is facing pushback for promoting climate alarmism and pretending he knows something he doesn't know.

Sanders asserted that "Climate change is real" and that President-elect Donald Trump must tackle the "existential crisis."

"80,000 people have been told to evacuate as wildfires continue to rage with no containment. It's been eight months since the last rain in the area. The damage and loss are beyond what anyone can imagine. 'Climate change is real, not 'a hoax.' Donald Trump must treat this like the existential crisis it is,' Senator Bernie Sanders stated in his post on Wednesday morning.

Mike Solana, editor-in-chief of Pirate Wires, made fun of Sanders' remarks, writing on X, "'[G]lobal warming ate my homework' doesn't work anymore. Literally every single politician in California responsible for the catastrophic failure to prepare for this, from water management and controlled burns to the fire department's budget, is a Democrat.'

Conservative commentator and author Justin Haskins from the Heartland Institute's Socialism Research Center pointed out, 'Wildfires, including ones much larger than this, have been happening in California forever.'

Nicole Shanahan, who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate in last year's presidential race before they dropped out to support Donald Trump, also responded to Sanders, saying, 'State mismanagement is real, Bernie.'

Sanders has been vocal about climate change for a long time.

'Climate change is an existential disaster facing the entire world,' he tweeted almost six years ago in February 2019. 'We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. A Green New Deal can save the planet and create millions of new jobs.'

Elon Musk, the business tycoon, has claimed that regulations are what stop steps being taken to avoid California wildfires.

'Climate change risk is real, just much slower than alarmists claim. The immense loss of homes in LA is primarily due to: 1. Nonsensical overregulation that prevented creating fire breaks and doing brush clearing. 2. Bad governance at the state and local level that resulted in a shortage of water,' Musk shared on X.

Sanders wasn't the only one from the left using the climate narrative during the disaster.

'I’m so heartbroken at the devastation that’s continuously inflicted upon our country & the world & elected 'leaders' are ignorant, impotent, or just incompetent to doing the smart thing, which is to acknowledge that climate change is real & start to solve it,' Representative Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, posted. 'California, stay safe. First responders, we thank you for your selflessness. I join the chorus of prayers for all, but as an elected, I want to actually work!'

Representative Sarah McBride, (D-DE), the first transgender member of Congress, labeled the fire as a climate catastrophe.

"I’m praying for the victims of the raging fires around Los Angeles. The loss of life, homes, businesses, and entire neighborhoods is devastating. I stand ready to work with my colleagues representing these communities to guarantee they have the resources they need to contain these fires, recover, rebuild, and prevent these climate catastrophes in the future," McBride stated on X.

Donald Trump has called for California Governor Gavin Newsom to resign.

"One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social late Wednesday night.

Earlier that evening, Newsom posted on X, 'People are literally fleeing. Kids have lost their schools. Communities have lost their churches. Families have lost their homes. Some have even lost their lives. And the President-Elect’s response is to politicize it. We’ll continue to focus on what matters: saving lives and putting out these unprecedented fires.'

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports partial containment for the Lidia and Hurst fires, while others are still at 0% containment according to fire.ca.gov."
