'You came here today to defeat women in their own sport'

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Wednesday chaired a hearing of the House DOGE subcommittee lambasted the chairman of USA Fencing, Damien Lehfeldt, one of the witnesses who testified.

Lehfeldt was there to justify his organization's inclusion of biological males in female categories of fencing competition. Quoting from a blog post of Lehfeldt's, Greene noted his feelings on his daughter hypothetically competing against a man.

"You came here today to defeat women in their own sport," Greene told Lehfeldt. "You are a man who would tell his daughter to lose to a biological man and enjoy it!"

Greene's hearing was in response to a female fencer who recently refused to compete against a male fencer who "identifies" as a woman.
