Vice President Kamala Harris “supports” an Olympics fighter who failed a gender test and subsequently defeated Italian boxer Angela Carini in just 46 seconds on Thursday, the Trump campaign said in a statement.

The Biden-Harris administration introduced new Title IX changes to allow men in women’s sports and locker rooms.

“Males identifying as women will be protected under federal law to use locker rooms and other single-sex spaces, play girls sports, or take advantage of opportunities like scholarships earmarked for females,” the New York Post’s Kirsten Fleming said, describing the rule.

“Kamala Supports What Just Happened At The Olympics,” the Trump campaign said in a statement on Thursday. “Kamala has yet to do an interview since becoming the presumptive Democrat nominee for president. When she does, she should explain why she supports boys in girls’ sports and locker rooms.”

On Thursday, Italian boxer Angela Carini lost to opponent Imane Khelif, whom the Olympics cleared to compete even though a year earlier Khelif was disqualified from the International Boxing Association (IBA) 2023 World Boxing Championships for failing gender-eligibility tests, according to Fox News. The International Olympic Committee, which uses different criteria to determine eligibility, ruled Khelif eligible to compete.

IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said, “Everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules. They are women in their passports and it’s stated that this is the case, that they are female.”

IBA President Umar Kremlev explained his organization’s decision to not allow Khelif to compete in the 2023 championships, according to Russia’s Tass News Agency as cited by Fox News.

“Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition,” Kremlev said.

“I’ve never taken a punch like that,” Carini said, leaving the ring in tears.

“I’m used to suffering. I’ve never taken a punch like that, it’s impossible to continue. I’m nobody to say it’s illegal,” Carini told Italy’s ASNA.

“I got into the ring to fight. But I didn’t feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m leaving with my head held high,” she said.

Khelif will progress to the next round of the women’s 66-kilogram division.
