  1. Karine Jean-Pierre:

    There’s a legal way of doing this. And for managing migrants, Republican governors, interfering in that process and using migrants as political pawns is shameful, is reckless and just plain wrong. And remember, these are people who are fleeing communism, who are fleeing hardship.

  2. Steve Gray:

    Emma Weyant, Reka Gyorgy and all of the collegiate swimmers that had to compete against Lia Thomas— these girls have dedicated hours to learning and mastering their sport, and now they’re being robbed of victories and robbed of rightful victories, it’s just shameful that politicians, the NCAA and others are more concerned with being politically correct than doing what’s right for our dedicated, biologically female athletes.

  3. State Rep. Mike Johnson:

    It’s shameful, he never met me before he said that. He never read the legislation. People will say what they say – I can’t control that.

  5. Pete Hegseth:

    While this shameful act may be an isolated incident, what’s not isolated are the almost daily reports that feed the perception that VA leadership are detached from the urgent challenges facing returning veterans, but it’s even more troubling that Ms. Paul’s shockingly poor judgment did not merit immediate firing. She should have been fired the minute such poor judgment was discovered and failing to do so only reinforces VA’s track record of failing to hold its employees accountable.
