Former conservative Matt Schlapp defends transgender narrative in Lia Thomas' sports competition

The chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU) went on Twitter to say that male swimmer Lia Thomas, who changed his name from Will Thomas, [and thereby magically became a female] "deserves our compassion," rather than the women with whom he competed and easily defeated in swimming competitions. 

Thomas went from the men's swim team at UPenn to the women's team at the school and as a man with XY chromosomes and a penis which he proudly has no qualms to display in the ladies locker room, has smashed the existing female swimming records of the school. When he swam against men, he was mediocre at best and placed 554 nationally in the 200 freestyle. He also scores in the mid-500s in other events against men.

According to an anonymous female on the UPenn team, Thomas admitted that he is still sexually attracted to women, not men, so it's obvious that he's a disgusting, selfish prick who doesn't care that he's competing unfairly and possibly taking away the chances of other women to compete at higher levels in their category. If there's anyone who deserves our compassion, it's the women, not the dude known as Lia Thomas.

Matt Schlapp shared a New York Post article about Thomas pushing back against his critics on March 6th. The ACU chairman captioned the article, “No matter what one thinks of Lia’s ability to swim with women her story deserves our compassion. It will be interesting to hear Lia’s pov in 30 years.”

Her story? WTF?

Referring to Thomas as "her" is giving in to the narrative that he's a female and going along with the Left.

No matter what one thinks of Lia’s ability to swim with women her story deserves our compassion. It will be interesting to hear Lia’s pov in 30 years. https://t.co/NLY9f6TO6I

Sorry Mr. Schlapp, I have more compassion for the women who have to put up with Thomas exposing his bat and balls in the lady's locker room and his self-serving behavior. I have absolutely no compassion for him and I believe Schlapp showed his lack of backbone in an attempt to show his virtue.

The editor-in-chief of Swimming World Magazine wrote that the “numbers paint a clear picture” when Thomas competed as a male versus competing now as a female, highlighting the existence of a serious advantage Thomas has over the women he’s competing against.

“The fact that the University of Pennsylvania swimmer has soared from a mid-500s ranking (554th in the 200 freestyle) in men’s competition to the top-ranked swimmer in women’s competition tells the story of the unfairness which is unfolding at the NCAA level.”

Schlapp received some well-deserved pushback on social media. John Cardillo, a former Newsmax host wrote:

“No Matt. HIS story deserves no compassion. He’s a spoiled brat ruining college sports for his female teammates and competitors. I have compassion for them and want to hear their stories. You establishment ‘conservatives’ will cave every single time.”

Cardillo nailed it with the last sentence.

Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire echoed my sentiment:

No, it doesn’t. Also if you’re playing the “preferred pronoun” game you’ve already lost. You’ve surrendered reality to the Left. There is nothing left to fight for. https://t.co/TDHr40Ylmw

As did Erick Erickson:

*His* story. And while the dude is clearly going through a mental struggle for which we should show concern, we should have more empathy and concern for the girls who are being ignored and pushed aside by the elite so a stronger guy can pose as a girl. https://t.co/iAHtwA54MF

Here's more:

Really. Her? When men are infiltrating girls’ and women’s teams, bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and abuse shelters, this is the approach? https://t.co/KPCM7uTRdL

Matt has FIVE daughters… Would he feel it’s compassionate if a biological male with male genitalia were in the locker room with them against their consent? https://t.co/KrHr8OLJfK

Wait, wait, wait. The founder of CPAC is down with the anti woman ideology of transgenderism?! I want off that particular conservative train. https://t.co/soBtAopbjM

— Rod Dreher (@roddreher) March 8, 2022

Schlapp also went back and forth in a tweetfest with former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis.

She tweeted:

No. None of this is remotely conservative, principled, or truthful, Matt. What are you doing?!

It’s sad to see CPAC leadership and the GOP establishment cave to the LGBT agenda.

I will not support this. https://t.co/E0xUPGzT0r

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) March 8, 2022

Schlapp retweeted and responded, 

“Jenna all I am saying is in the end trans people deserve our love and compassion. We should defend girls sports against competing w men aggressively but in the end remember that all people deserve respect. Kinda simple. If showing decency makes you boycott @CPAC I’m good w it.”

Ellis replied:

That’s not all you said, Matt. You can’t walk back calling a man “her” under the guise of “love and compassion.” Love and compassion requires speaking truth.

Conservatives, this is an open call from Matt to abandon CPAC because he is unwilling to stand for truth.

Do it.

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) March 8, 2022

But rather than having an honest argument with Ellis, Schlapp went back at her with an ad hominem attack:

Jenna this is a false controversy. You are upset w @CPAC bc we didn’t invite you to speak. We score the bills aimed at protecting girls sports and our kids from gender confusion indoctrination. I don’t wish to normalize it but simply just deal w it w compassion. https://t.co/ODcAaSoQJp

— Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) March 8, 2022

Schlapp has lost my respect and I hope Mercedes talks with him about what he said about Thomas and what he said to Jenna Ellis. She, Ellis, did not deserve that kind of remark, and he, Thomas, did not deserve compassion for what he is doing in the world of swimming competition.

Sclapp needs to resign his position with CPAC and Thomas needs to swim with the men, no matter what bathing attire he chooses to wear.

Kamala Hahaharris compares Jan. 6 to bombing of Pearl Harbor and 9/11

There is no other way to say it so here goes: our Vice President, Kamala Harris, is an idiot. 

She is an idiot because anyone who believes the American people could be convinced that the event that took place last January 6th at the U.S. Capitol was comparable to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which dragged us into the Second World War, and September 11, 2001, when thousands of people were killed as Islamic jihadis flew planes into the World Trade Center buildings, the Pentagon, and attempted to fly one into the White House but was thwarted, must be dumber than those she's trying to convince.

Harris marked the Jan. 6 anniversary of the Capitol riot with those comparisons. In effect, this our idiot VP has minimized actual tragedies with a bunch of people who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election procedures, and were protesting what they believe was a fraudulent result. Some of the rioters were armed, some engaged with the police, but most were too busy taking photos of the scene, talking on their phones, or simply walking around and checking things out. While Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were horrific events with horrible consequences, Jan. 6 was only a horrible consequence for a young lady named Ashli Babbitt.

Babbitt was unarmed and entering the Capitol building through a window when a Capital Police Officer shot and killed her for no other apparent reason. Babbitt was a military veteran, married, and may have been wrong to do what she did, but killing her was senseless and totally unjustified. In spite of that, the cop who shot her, Michael Byrd, was fully exonerated. 

Meanwhile, scores of people who participated at the Capitol that day are in jail with no formal charges leveled against them, and no bail offered. They are political prisoners, plain and simple and this should worry all Americans, left and right.

But here was Harris calling for legislation to "protect democracy." Speaking through her nostrils she said that,  “Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were, and what they were doing, when our democracy came under assault.”

“Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941, September 11th, 2001, and January 6th, 2021,” she bulls***ted. Then she warned us how fragile American democracy is.

“On Jan. 6, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful. The lawlessness. The violence. The chaos,” Harris said from the Capitol building. “What was at stake then, and now, is the right to have our future decided the way the Constitution prescribes it: By we, the people.”

She was able to keep a serious face and did not laugh even once over the irony of her words.

The lawlessness? The left wants to defund the police, impose bail reform that would have violent offenders back out on the street in a revolving door policy, and make armed crimes misdemeanors. 

“The violent assault that took place here, the very fact of how close we came to an election overturned, that reflects the fragility of democracy,” Harris honked.

And if you want an election overturned and have the will of the people destroyed, do what the Democrats are asking for: eliminate voter ID [because minorities and people of color are incapable of getting IDs] and get rid of mail-in voting. 

How many Democrats would be willing to put a thousand dollars in an envelope, address it to themselves, and put it in their local mailbox? The problem with that is no different than mail-in voting.

Harris was quickly blasted on social media.

Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy explained that Harris’s comparison was “obviously” baseless and he tweeted:

The Capitol riot was bad, political violence is wrong, & people are being prosecuted for it. It wasn’t comparable to Pearl Harbor (2,403 sailors, soldiers, & civilians killed by the Japanese Empire) nor comparable to 9/11 (2,977 Americans & others killed by Al-Qaeda). Obviously.

— Jerry Christmas 🎄🎅🏽 (@JerryDunleavy) January 6, 2022

John Cardillo replied:

9/11: 2977 innocents dead

Pearl Harbor: 2403 Americans dead

Jan 6th: One death. Unarmed #AshliBabbitt killed by an inept Capitol cop, @KamalaHarris’s comparison is disgraceful and insults the memories of those we lost.

— John – Naturally Immune – Cardillo (@johncardillo) January 6, 2022

Harris asserted that in order to protect the will of the people, and the right to vote in America, Congress should pass voting rights bills before the Senate. Prior to her bloviating, Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) threatened to change Senate rules if Republicans didn't vote the way he wanted them to, which was to favor that Democratic-favoring legislation.

Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro succinctly tweeted in response:

That’s the game! https://t.co/ELS5JFR3j6

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) January 6, 2022

I would go out on a limb and say that January 6, 2020 was as bad as Watergate, but probably not worse. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, on the other hand, are both worse than Watergate.
