Round Rock, TX Chapter Leader Describes Being Attacked, Spat On By Far-Left Protestors At Save Women’s Sports Act Ceremony

IWN Chapter Leader Michelle Evans Leader Joins Fox & Friends To Share Her Experiences

Independent Women’s Network Round Rock Chapter Leader, Michelle Evans, joined Independent Women’s Voice spokeswomen and advisors, Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan, in attending Governor Greg Abbott’s ceremonial signing of the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” a significant moment for the fight to protect the integrity of women’s sports.

Hundreds of protestors surrounded the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame at Texas Woman’s University, where the event took place. Michelle Evans joined Fox & Friends the next morning to discuss her experience being attacked and spat on as she exited the building.

“As I was walking down the pathway to see how far the protestors went, I filmed as they yelled at me, screamed profanities at me, and then as I was walking to re-enter the building, they stood in my way, pushed me, hit me, threw water on me, and then one protestor spit into my left eye,” Michelle Evans told Fox News.

Evans continued, “I think [saying ‘Greg Abbott hates women’ is] such a baseless claim. He was celebrating women and women’s achievements, fairness in sports, and privacy in our spaces. There is a reason that we have sex-based protections. We are equal but we are not the same. They claim that we are trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist yet they get so fervent in their arguments and are screaming to ‘let them play.’ You can’t have it both ways. Trans kids and trans athletes are allowed to play. It’s just they have to play on the team that’s designated for their sex. It’s about fairness, it’s about privacy, it’s about dignity.”

Inspiring others to join her in this fight to save women’s sports, Evans said on Fox & Friends to host Ainsley Earhardt: “It’s always worth it to fight these battles. You have to go deep in the trenches if you’re going to get anywhere in this war, and I’m ready for it.”
