"When Gaines shared a post of a Fox News appearance on Monday where she challenged Ocasio-Cortez to a debate on socialism vs. capitalism, the congresswoman fired back, And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job. I have a real job, Gaines replied. I'm a mom. It's the most important & rewarding job in the world. I think if you had a baby girl like I do, you'd understand my positions a little better."
"Speaking with Gaines on Fox & Friends on Wednesday, Earhardt began with some stats fed to her by co-host Brian Kilmeade. Only 14 percent of students participate in college sports. Of those, 5 percent play in Division 1, and only 1 percent finish in the Top 5. I wish you had challenged her to the 200-yard freestyle or 200-yard butterfly, because you would win in a debate and you would kick her tail if you had to swim against her!"
Riley Gaines posted a challenge and comment about political leaders that prompted a direct reply from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez referencing Gaines' swimming finish. Gaines reiterated a debate challenge on socialism versus capitalism and defended her role as a mother when Ocasio-Cortez suggested she get "a real job." Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt amplified Gaines' athletic credentials, citing statistics on college sports participation and Division I placement. Earhardt suggested a head-to-head swimming matchup, arguing Gaines would outperform Ocasio-Cortez and framing the exchange as personal attacks layered on top of ideological disagreement.
