Press to jump

- 0:27Asmongold pauses to reject the connection between trans inclusion in sports and campus safety.
- 0:44A transgender student asks about feeling abandoned by Democrats; Asmongold calls the audience applause performative.
- 1:07Ocasio-Cortez says the right's focus on trans students targets women's rights, citing Cornell.
- 2:06Asmongold backs Camas, Washington runners who forfeited a race in protest.
Asmongold isn't persuaded. In "The mask came right off..", the streamer stops a clip of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez almost as soon as it starts, unconvinced by the link she draws between transgender athletes and women's safety on campus.
The opening footage carries her central line: "I support the rights of trans women because I'm a girl's girl." Ocasio-Cortez goes on to argue that attacks on trans girls in sports are also attacks on all women's ability to stand up against abusers. Asmongold's answer is blunt: "What does trans have to do with like - what? Nobody thinks this."
The clip then turns to an event staged by More Perfect Union, where a transgender student from the University of Southern Maine tells the congresswoman about feeling abandoned by the Democratic Party. The room applauds. Ocasio-Cortez replies that the right's focus on trans people in higher education is aimed at women's rights more broadly, and she cites Cornell. Asmongold calls the applause performative and challenges how she describes the campus cases.
The last stretch leaves the stage for a race. A social media post shows high school cross-country runners in Camas, Washington, forfeiting rather than competing against a transgender athlete. Asmongold backs their walk-off and argues that more women should speak up.
The clip runs only a few minutes. It is an edited excerpt from his stream, posted by Asmongold Clips, the channel Asmongold owns and his editor, Daily Dose of Asmongold, runs. Since yesterday it has drawn about 1.5 million views, and in its first 17 hours it collected more comments than the channel's videos usually gather in a full day. It follows a week of reactions to Shane Gillis's SNL backlash, Sophia Bush on Call Her Daddy and Elon Musk.
