Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was outraged that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif won her match against Italian boxer Angela Carini yesterday at the Olympics, calling Khelif a “man pretending to be a woman.” Khelif is a cisgender woman.

“A real women, Angela Carini, who trained for years to box at the Olympics is ‘defeated’ by a real man pretending to be a woman,” Greene wrote, referring to Khelif as a man, which she is not.
