Hartzler Launches ‘Transphobic’ Ad Targeting Transgender College Swimmer | The Kansas City Star

Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler’s U.S. Senate campaign has launched an anti-transgender television ad targeting a swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania swim team.

In a 30-second ad, Hartzler implies that the swimmer, Lia Thomas, who is transgender, changed her gender in order to get an competitive edge.

“Some people are afraid to talk about it — not me,” Hartzler says in the ad, which is running statewide in Missouri. “I ran and coached girl’s track, and I won’t look away while woke liberals destroy women’s sports. Women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women.”
