WATCH: Riley_Gaines_ vowed that she would not be deterred after a violent protest at her SFSU speech this week. 'This assures me that I am doing the right thing,' she said to TuckerCarlson.
"This does not deter me. This assures me that I am doing the right thing," she said on Tucker Carlson Tonight Friday night.She added,"This will not silence me. When they want me to be silenced, it just means I need to speak louder."
She was invited to speak at the San Francisco chapter of Turning Point USA on Thursday night about her fight against biological male athletes competing in women's sports. The 12-time All-American swimmer's remarks were drowned out by a group of pro-transgender protesters who had become increasingly louder outside the room. The protesters eventually made their way into the room where Gaines was speaking.
Gaines described the room getting"stormed" with protesters, and she was"rushed with no one there to escort me to a safe place." On Twitter, she shared video of a terrifying scene of activists chasing after her and police as they rushed through a hallway and barricaded her in a room for nearly three hours.
