Women's sports activists attacked by 'unhinged' leftist protesters: 'Spit in my eye'

Independent Women's Network chapter leader Michelle Evans and NCAA athlete Macy Petty tell Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt about attacks they witnessed during the signing of Texas' 'Save Women's Sports Act.'

Activists and female athletes said Tuesday they were targeted by leftist protesters at the signing of Texas' "Save Women's Sports Act," including being spit on, cursed out and having bottles hurled at them.

"They yelled at me, screamed profanities at me, and then as I was walking to reenter the building, they stood in my way, pushed me, hit me, threw water on me, and then one protester spit into my left eye," Independent Women's Network chapter leader Michelle Evans said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

Evans was joined by college volleyball player Macy Petty, sharing their eyewitness accounts of the aggressive behavior.

Petty, who attends Lee University in Tennessee, said the group, along with OutKick's Riley Gaines were kept inside because of the danger posed by the protesters.
