AOC is right and that quip does attack the shifting of responsibility.
In one simple statement AOC pointed out that Riley wouldn't have won the race she used to build her anti-trans platform. The swimmer has been careful to present herself as a champion, when in reality she started her campaign after tying for fifth place with a trans woman.
If someone doesn't know what the issue is about, why does their opinion matter?
This is the internet, literally anything can be misconstrued. Someone on here called me a nazi yesterday. If you check my modlog I was banned from a community for fascism.
Criticizing a valid, informed statement about an issue that's challenging people's identities because of how it might appear is like clutching pearls while your house is on fire.
