"I wish I could say I was surprised by the actions of the attorney general, but as we have seen from her history, this doesn't surprise me. She seems to go after anyone with a dissenting viewpoint to the narrative that her and her party is pushing," Gaines told Fox News Digital, expressing gratitude to Blakeman. 

"It's hard being in the position that he's in one of the largest counties, to do what he has done, but it's common sense," Gaines said outside the convention center. "This is not a battle of right versus left. This is a humanitarian issue. The message that's being sent by those such as the attorney general of New York, is that girls don't matter, is that our safety doesn't matter, and our sports, our privacy doesn't matter in our locker rooms, and our equal opportunities don't matter."
