‘No matter what one thinks of Lia’s ability to swim with women her story deserves our compassion. It will be interesting to hear Lia’s pov [point of view] in 30 years,’ Schlapp tweeted over the weekend…

Conservative writer John Cardillo took a firm line over Thomas’ position – using male pronouns for the transgender woman – while lashing out at Schalpp, writing: ‘Just no. Have compassion for the real women whose college athletic experiences he’s selfishly destroying. He’s a spoiled brat. No conservative should ever enable this. No sane person should promote this insanity.’…

Schlapp ended up going back and forth with former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis.

‘None of this is remotely conservative, principled, or truthful, Matt. What are you doing?! It’s sad to see CPAC leadership and the GOP establishment cave to the LGBT agenda. I will not support this,’ Ellis wrote.
