British marathon runner Holly Archer responds to critics who took aim at her event attire

Holly Archer completed the London Marathon in less than three hours. 

But before she crossed the finish line in 2 hours and 39 minutes, Archer contended with some unexpected commentary related to her appearance. 

Archer appeared to wear a pair of running briefs as she ran the approximately 26-mile long race, much to the apparent ire of some spectators.

A video posted to Archer's social media platform became inundated with comments.

Some social media users claimed the 31-year-old seemed "uncomfortable," while others argued elements of the outfit closely resembled a woman's swimsuit.

There were even claims that Archer "should have worn clothes" as she competed in the annual event late last month.

Archer caught wind of the chatter. In a separate TikTok post, the British runner responded to critics by asking, "Should I have worn a tracksuit?" Archer also cited the conditions, saying the humidity reached nearly 78 percent as temperatures climbed into the mid-70s.

More than 56,000 participants finished this year's London Marathon.

Lone Republican becomes only lawmaker to vote against crackdown on human organ trafficking

A bill aimed at cracking down on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its practice of forced organ harvesting passed with overwhelming support on Wednesday – though one House lawmaker voted against it.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1.

"It's just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country's business and write their laws," Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. "And at the end of the day, they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and it's just sort of a virtue signal over here."

Massie, a conservative libertarian, often votes against House bills that weigh in on another country's affairs.

The Kentucky Republican pointed out that he opposed the legislation when it was up for a vote during a previous Congress.

But his pushback is also notable now given his status as an open critic of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and at times, of President Donald Trump. 

The bill was introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and would authorize the Secretary of State to deny U.S. passports and visitor visas to people involved in organ trafficking circles.

It would also call for sanctions on entities and individuals found to have participated in the gruesome illicit industry.

U.S. lawmakers have accused China of forced organ harvesting of its ideological opponents, including Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghur Muslims.
