‘I hope you f**king die!’ Moment hysterical pro-trans activists are arrested after screaming obscenities at PA state senator and others during Pennsylvania State University protest against ex-swimmer Riley Gaines
Two people were arrested on the Penn State University campus for causing a disturbance on the day Riley Gaines was supposed to speak at the school — even yelling statements in the face of a state senator.
Videos posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Oct. 10 show two young people walking around campus, faces hidden behind cloth masks. They confront other people and later turn a table.
It was Tuesday, International Women’s Day, that Gaines, a former Penn State swimmer, was supposed to give a speech — though she claimed her appearance had been canceled. The school denied that this was the case.
In the footage, one activist walks up to another student and demands: ‘What do you think about trans people?’
When the student refuses to comment, the activist replies: ‘You can probably f*** yourself too.’
On October 10, two protesters walked around the Penn State University campus and threw people they perceived as ‘transphobic’.
In one instance, a protester shouted: ‘You with them? Get the hell out of here’ from an older man
The duo appeared to be protesting the appearance of Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer, who spoke out against the participation of trans women in women’s sports.
Next he drives up to an older man holding a camera and asks: ‘You with them? Get the hell out of here.’
“Let the whole world see who you are,” said the man.
‘F you!’ shouted the protester.
“Get the hell off campus!” yelled the other, with a quick glance at the camera.
Next the first protester walks up to a gray haired man and shouts ‘You’re a loser!’ before adjusting his ski mask.
“I appreciate it,” the man said before introducing himself as state senator Cris Dush.
Dush claims he supports “people who are here like Riley Gaines” before the activist cuts him off.
‘Go yourself! You’re a bad loser!’ he shouted. The governor salutes him and tells him to have a good day, to which he replies, ‘You’re having a bad day!’
Dush walked away, smiling and shaking his head. The cameraman asks him to comment.
‘I’m waiting to see. I’m here to watch,’ Dush says, then says, ‘We’re going to have free speech on this campus. This is my district.’

Dush said he supports “people who are here like Riley Gaines” before one protester cut him off, calling him a “fucking loser.”
Dush later said, “We’re going to have free speech on this campus. this is my district’
Meanwhile, the protester started to confront another student and shouted in his face: ‘You are anti-trans! You’re a ***e!’
He towers over the student and declares: ‘I hope you die!’
A ‘Trans Lives Matter’ chant begins from a dozen or so people gathered in the grass holding a transgender flag.
The next video only gets more intense, as the same protester starts knocking objects off a table and walks away.
The other activist confronts a man about a sign he’s holding, calling him ‘transphobic’ before flipping the table.
Police arrive. One officer appears to be trying to arrest one of the protesters, saying: ‘Don’t touch me like that. Will you fuck me?’ while also calling the officer a ‘b***h’.
The other activist asks if the two are being detained, which the officer confirms.
The video then cuts to the two people in handcuffs next to a police cruiser.
A bystander asks what they’re being arrested for, and an officer replies, ‘Behavior, right now.’

Gaines has amassed nearly 740,000 followers on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Responding to the footage, she wrote: ‘They are trying to bully and scare people into silence… people have had enough. Cursing and shouting obscenities no longer work.’
The former college athlete joined the University of Kentucky swim team and made the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2019 as well as the All-SEC Second Team in 2019 and 2020.
The following year, she competed in the NCAA Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.
She placed second in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay and seventh in the 200 m freestyle, making the All-SEC First Team.
In 2022, while swimming in the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship, Gaines tied for fifth place with University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.
Thomas became the first openly transgender women’s champion in the NCAA women’s division after winning the 500-yard freestyle.
Since then, Gaines has dabbled in politics, taking part in a small protest at the NCAA convention and speaking at a Donald Trump rally.

She leaned into her identity as a conservative firebrand and was invited to other events such as a Turning Point USA student chapter event.
During that event, Gaines was forced to shelter in a classroom for three hours after protesters arrived. She later claimed she was beaten twice during the protest.
Most recently, Gaines appeared as a witness at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in July focused on protecting civil rights for LGBTQ Americans.
Here, Gaines shared her ‘own personal experience competing with trans swimmer Lia Thomas and sharing the same locker room.’
She is the founder of the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute, whose mission is to increase the number of conservative activists.
On October 10, National Women’s Day, the athlete tweeted: ‘Women are not menstruators, bleeders, breastfeeders, cervix holders, uterus owners, egg producers or people with the ability to give birth. Women are just women. Adult human females.’
Referring to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, she added: ‘I would be remiss if I did not specifically say that this day should be used to celebrate and honor the girls and women as a result of the violence that has erupted do not have. in the Middle East and all that it led to.’
