Michael Knowles went viral after he exposed how a group of transgender activists have attempted to infiltrate the historic female group Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR] in what he called the “most absurd target yet” for leftist activists.

In a lengthy thread on X on Monday, the Daily Wire host wrote about how “sexually confused men are invading yet another women’s group,” this time the DAR.

“It’s perhaps their most absurd target yet: a group grounded in genetics … Happily, members are channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears and fighting back,” Knowles wrote in the post that’s been viewed a million times. “DAR bylaws have always been clear. It’s for the daughters — female descendants — of Revolutionary patriots. As a genealogical organization, DAR takes biological integrity so seriously that only biological descendants — i.e., not adopted family members — are eligible for membership.”

“A small group of the DAR’s leadership now appears to believe that men can be women,” he added. “They even contend that such men have always been allowed in the DAR. According to an internal FAQ document, members are expected to pretend that ‘transgender women’ have always been eligible and that their inclusion took place ‘organically,’ as if implicit in bylaws written before ‘transgenderism’ was even thought to exist.”

“Multiple DAR members reached out to the Daily Wire with concerns about being prevented from even criticizing the potential policy change. One cited an alleged policy on ‘circularization’ that she felt discouraged members from alerting media or organizing opposition via email,” Knowles continued.

He also provided examples of the attempts some in the group had made to stop these men, but so far, their efforts have been thwarted after a proposed amendment to “the bylaws to clarify the definition of ‘woman'” was rejected.

The Daily Wire host noted that the Sons of the American Revolution [SAR] exists, but how “these men don’t want to join” the group. “They want to pretend they aren’t sons at all. They pretend to be women and demand that women welcome them into a private women’s membership club. It’s disordered and immoral.”

The thread noted that a group of daughters haven’t given up the fight, “this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society,” Knowles wrote. “Chapters have until October 1 to protect the DAR from trans infiltration by endorsing a proposal to amend the bylaws. So far, over 50 chapters have indicated their plan to support. Members can reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots.

“If successful, the Board of Management will be forced to respond by February,” Knowles continued. “With the strong objection of a growing number of chapters nationwide, it will only become more difficult for leadership to push this radical agenda. We’ll be watching.”

Reading through comments to Knowles’ thread, several people blasted DAR for the move — the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, Megyn Kelly, being one of them.

“Men pretending to be women are coming for the Daughters of the American Revolution now,” Kelly wrote to her millions of followers. “If you are a member – [please] read this short thread & email the address provided to SUPPORT THE POLICY AMENDMENT that will keep women’s spaces female-only.”

A federal judge this week ruled against a Biden-Harris administration program that allocated around $37 billion in federal road contracts for businesses owned by women and racial minorities, raising questions about the future of a decades-old affirmative action program.

Since the 1980s, the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program has required around 10% of federal dollars allocated for road construction contracts to go to women and certain racial minorities. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Biden signed in 2021, reauthorized the DBE and set aside $37 billion for eligible recipients.

This year, two small businesses sued the Transportation Department, saying that the DBE program caused them to lose out on business. On Monday, Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove ruled that the Biden-Harris administration could not enforce the DBE’s affirmative action quotas against the businesses.

“The Court is keenly aware of the past discrimination that certain groups of people have faced in this country,” Tatenhove wrote. “And the Court is sure that the federal government has nothing but good intentions in trying to remedy past wrongs. But remedying those wrongs must still pass constitutional muster. The federal government cannot classify people in such a manner that violates the principles of equal protection.”

This is the latest caste that builds off the Supreme Court’s June 2023 ruling that affirmative action was unconstitutional. One federal judge ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency needed to be open to working with business owners of all races, while another judge said that the Small Business Administration could not distribute contracts based on the claim that certain races are inherently disadvantaged.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) filed the lawsuit on behalf of Mid-America Milling and Bagshaw Trucking. The businesses, which are owned in part by white males and operate in Kentucky and Indiana, routinely bid on federal contracts. Mid-America says it has lost out on 82 contracts in Indiana since January 2022 because of the DBE program.

In his decision, Van Tatenhove wrote that both companies have “previously lost out on federally funded contracts to DBE firms, even when Plaintiffs’ bids were lower.”

WILL lawyer Daniel Lennington told The Daily Wire that the decision was a major blow for the Biden-Harris administration’s “equity agenda,” which pushes race-based programs throughout the federal government. 

Lennington noted that after a period of discovery, WILL would ask for a final decision from the judge that would block any business from being subject to the DBE program. 

“The DBE program is really baked into the DNA of road building in America and companies all across America just assume that this program is never going to go anywhere,” he said. “We believe that’s unconstitutional and it hurts real people that have real businesses every day.”
