British political commentator Piers Morgan blasted Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) during a panel discussion late this week over the swimming champion Riley Gaines, who was recently attacked by radical transgender activists.

The exchange happened on an episode of HBO’s “Real Time” with host Bill Maher as the panelists discussed the incident.

Porter said that she “strongly” disagreed with Gaines, about which Morgan pressed her for more information.

“I, I think that it should be up to sporting bodies to make the decisions about who is actually—” Porter started to respond before being cut off.

“But what has she said that is actually wrong?” Morgan fired back.

“I think that what she has done is tried to turn this, we talked about people becoming, using things to kind of get likes and get clicks,” Porter claimed.

“That’s not what she’s doing,” Morgan responded. “All I’ve seen her do is stand up for women’s rights, for fairness and equality. She actually competed against Lia Thomas, and it was obviously unfair. Lia Thomas, won one of the races in the NCAA championships by 50 seconds against a bunch of biological females who simply couldn’t keep up. That cannot be right. It cannot be fair.”

When Porter said that she thought Gaines was just speaking up for herself, Morgan responded, “I think she’s speaking for pretty much every female athlete in the world.”

TRANSCRIPT:

REP. KATIE PORTER (D-CA): Nobody, including Riley Gaines, who I disagree with strongly, should be–

PIERS MORGAN, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: What do you disagree with her? Out of interest.

PORTER: I, I think that it should be up to sporting bodies to make the decisions about who is actually–

MORGAN: But what has she said that is actually wrong?

PORTER: I think that what she has done is tried to turn this, we talked about people becoming, using things to kind of get likes and get clicks.

MORGAN: That’s not what she’s doing. I’ve got no truck to run against personally, but all I’ve seen her do is stand up for women’s rights, for fairness and equality. She actually competed against Lia Thomas, and it was obviously unfair. Lia Thomas, won one of the races in the NCAA championships by 50 seconds against a bunch of biological females who simply couldn’t keep up. That cannot be right. It cannot be fair.

PORTER: That is something that I trust, I think our sporting bodies should be dealing with. And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself. And that is her prerogative and I respect her free speech.

MORGAN: I think she’s speaking for pretty much every female athlete in the world.

A former Planned Parenthood director committed suicide earlier this week as police investigated him in a child pornography case.

Tim Yergeau, 35, was found dead in his New Haven, Connecticut, apartment Tuesday, five days after police botched a raid that was supposed to target his apartment, but they breached the wrong door, The Middletown Press reported.

“The person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide,” New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson said Wednesday.

The search warrant allowed police to look at Yergeau’s electronic devices, but he was not arrested at the time of the police raid.

“It was an open investigation, so he knew he was going to be arrested,” Jacobson said, according to The New Haven Independent.

At the time of his death, Yergeau was working at the Long Wharf Theatre, but he previously held the position of director of strategic communications for the Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, The Blaze reported. The child pornography suspect had also worked for the New Haven Free Public Library Foundation.

Yergeau promoted leftist and LGBTQ causes on his social media. In one Instagram post, Yergeau showed a picture of Planned Parenthood buttons with rainbows on them. Another photo showed Yergeau sporting a shirt with the common pro-abortion talking point, “Bans Off Our Bodies,” printed on it.

In December 2018, Yergeau posted, “Excited to announce that today I start a new job on the marketing/communications team at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. Excited to be working on issues I’m passionate about: healthcare access, reproductive and sexual health, diversity and inclusion, civic engagement, and voting rights.”

When police arrived to serve out a search warrant at Yergeau’s apartment, officers broke down his neighbor’s door and handcuffed a woman before they realized their mistake.

“I started running down the hallway, it was just like a movie. They had guns and flashlights on me,” Yergeau’s neighbor Stacey Wezenter said. “They put me against the wall and handcuffed me. I was crying and saying, ‘What’s happening?’”

Wezenter, whose 20-year-old and 4-year-old children were home when police raided her home, said she relives the moment every time she walks down her hallway.

“What if I had a gun permit? What if I came down the hallway with a gun? Would I have gotten shot? What if my 4-year-old had woken up? Would they have shot him?” Wezenter said Wednesday. “You just don’t do that to people.”

New Haven police apologized for breaching the woman’s apartment and said it had launched an investigation into how the mistake happened.

“Unfortunately, a mistake was made,” Chief Jacobson said. “We feel for the woman and we’re going to do everything we can to make it right.”

“The investigation is part of holding my department accountable and transparent,” he added.
