JD Vance encouraged Sophie Cunningham to keep being “courageous,” after the WNBA player spoke out against transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Cunningham, 29, told ESPN in an interview published last month that she wanted to “protect young girls in a locker room” and prevent female athletes from having to compete against “biological men.” Since then, the Indiana Fever guard has been criticized by others in the league, but praised by conservative pundits and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“Look, sometimes when you’re courageous in this country, some of the worst people in the world will try to attack you,” Vance, 41, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “What I would tell Sophie and anybody is to keep speaking your mind. You actually are inspiring a dozen people for every person that criticizes you.”
