Rachel Maddow Accidentally Argues Against Trans in Women's Sports

It's a wonder how these talking heads in the media make the millions they do while simultaneously never realizing the things that come out of their mouths aren't as intelligent as they think. Isn't it ironic? Don't ya think?

MS NOW host Rachel Maddow -- who makes an estimated $25 million a year for working one night a week -- sat down for a conversation on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast recently to talk about how to reshape the country in the far-left's image. The episode, titled How to Reset the Course of a Nation, with Rachel Maddow, contained a back-and-forth with host Pablo Torre about men pretending to be women participating in women's sports.

However, despite Maddow most likely believing everything she said was gold, the former three-sport high school athlete actually made an argument against placing such importance on allowing trans women to compete in women's sports. 

Here are two separate comments, made by Maddow, that certainly raised my eyebrows.

The trans athletes thing, seeing this national insistent now years long political project to scapegoat and vilify and try to direct violence and hate towards a tiny, disfavored minority, which is trans people. ...

And politically, it is a fantasy to invent a fake problem, to invent something that literally has no contact with the real lives of 99.99999% of Americans, and say, ‘This is the problem that the American government must be reorganized to prioritize and to never solve for you so we can continue to run on it forever,’ is pitiful — a sign of profound political weakness and something that I now think has been exposed as the fantasist BS cop out that it is. 

Did you catch that? If you didn't, let me just point out Maddow's use of the terms "tiny, disfavored minority" and "no contact with the real lives of 99.99999% of Americans."

If the trans in women's sports thing is such a small issue, and affects practically no one as Maddow claims, then what's the point of catering to 0.00001% of the population at the detriment of the vast majority she herself observed? Also, if the whole issue is a "fake problem," then why are we even talking about it? Ah, activism. Of course! 

While you and I both understand that this issue has affected hundreds, if not thousands, of girls and women in sports over the years, I'm just going by Maddow's own words to once again prove that these activists masquerading as know-it-all "journalists" will almost always, eventually, disprove their own theories.

"According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports," a 2024 United Nations report stated.

And those numbers reported above were as of March 2024. Who knows what the number might be at this point?

One might ask themselves whether Maddow is simply playing ignorant, arguing on behalf of The Alphabet Mafia, or someone whose statements are as poorly thought out as they seem. Whatever the case, in this instance, Maddow seems to have negated her own argument in the effort to be an "ally."
