Piers Morgan calls out Democrat Katie Porter's woke 'nonsense' about Riley Gaines, women's sports

The 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' host says his viral exchange with Democratic Rep. Katie Porter exposed the 'fragility' of the woke position on women's sports.

Piers Morgan called out California Democrat Katie Porter Monday for claiming that former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines is defending women's sports just for attention. 

The Fox Nation host joined "Fox & Friends" to call on politicians to defend and protect women in sports. 

"It's time that female politicians, in particular in America, Democrat politicians, stop this nonsense and stood up for women's rights."

Porter appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday night and talked about Gaines’ fight and said the former Kentucky swimmer is after "likes and clicks." Rep. Porter and Morgan debated the notion, with Morgan defending the former swimmer.

"And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself – and that is her prerogative and I respect her free speech," Porter said, as Morgan maintained that Gaines was "speaking up for every female athlete in the world."

Porter started the conversation by saying she disagreed with Gaines’ statements and sporting bodies should be the ones to determine whether transgender athletes get to compete against biological males or females. Morgan asked Porter what she disagreed with exactly, which started the likes and clicks conversation.

Morgan said when he asked Porter what it is that she disagrees with Gaines on, she "froze" and "had no answer." 

"It's an extraordinary state of affairs when two middle-aged men, me and Bill Maher, were standing up vociferously for women's rights
