When you\u2019re a mediocre male swimmer and now you win the women\u2019s, and so you had a second-place finisher, she was actually from Sarasota, she should have been the national champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 remarks were in reference to Lia Thomas, a male who claims to be female, who beat Emma Weyant, a woman, in the 2022 NCAA championships 500-yard race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did a proclamation from our office saying she was the best woman swimmer in the 500 yard because she was,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cThat swimmer was not the best women\u2019s 500-yard champion, okay? The number two [swimmer] was the best woman, so that\u2019s just the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, perhaps foreshadowing something that might be a key theme of a potential presidential campaign, said that the larger issue was the truth.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1681913061093000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1nSUp7X_GMxrPR-OuaxTA7\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so some of this is yes, it\u2019s taking away opportunities, and athletics and some other stuff, and that\u2019s really, really important,\u201d the 44-year-old governor said. \u201cBut I think there\u2019s also just the issue of, are we going to be a society based on truth? Or are we going to be a society based on deceit? And if you take a man and they dress up as a woman, and you tell me, I have to accept that they\u2019re a woman, then you\u2019re asking me to be complicit in a lie, and I just refuse to do that. So we\u2019ve got to tell the truth.
