Lefitsts quickly turned on Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, calling her “transphobic” and a “traitor” after she apologized for several posts attacking — and attempting to body-shame — former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines.

Biles issued the apology after a tense back-and-forth during which she’d called Gaines a “bully” and insinuated that she looked masculine over the Outkick host’s (“Gaines for Girls”) vocal opposition to trans-identifying men competing in women’s sports. And while Gaines was quick to accept Biles’ apology, leftists on social media saw the move as treason — and said so.
