Riley Gaines whines that university “canceled” her after she failed to file papers to get a room

Penn State is disputing claims from former collegiate simmer and anti-trans activist Riley Gaines that the university canceled a speech she was set to make on campus.

On Monday, Gaines posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, in which Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi explains why the First Amendment obligates the school to allow “bigots” to speak on campus.

The former Olympian dismissed her critics with the incendiary comment in a new interview.

“No way President of Penn State makes a whole video explaining why public institutions are legally obligated to let ‘bigots’ apparently like me on campus to speak then proceeds to CANCEL my speech tomorrow for real women’s day (X/X),” Gaines wrote. “Have it your way. See ya tomorrow with a soap box and megaphone, Penn State!”
