DeSantis: Florida Supports Women in Sports, We’re Not Going To Be Complicit in a Fraud

TRANSCRIPT:

DeSANTIS: "We also embrace opportunities for our girls and women athletes to compete in athletics with fairness and with integrity.
(Cheering and Applause)
It is wrong to have somebody swim on the men’s team for three years, then switch to the women’s team, and they say you win the national women’s championship? That is wrong. That’s not only taking away opportunities from other women athletes. It’s also asking us to be complicit in a fraud, because that is not true that you are the women’s champion after swimming three years on the men’s team. So, we’ve got to be grounded in truth."
