Meghan McCain sparred with TV host Andy Cohen on Tuesday over trans-identifying men playing in women’s sports.
It all started on <a href="https://x.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1896914200791838737">X</a> when the former co-host of “The View” shared the news that 19-year-old female volleyball player Payton McNabb, who sustained a traumatic brain injury after a transgender-identifying male spiked a volleyball into her head, was invited to be a special guest of President Donald Trump’s at his Joint Address to Congress on Tuesday.
“I have had the pleasure of meeting Payton &#8211; she is incredibly smart, strong and brave. Both she and her family have been through the unthinkable,” McCain’s post read.
“Democrats defending young women suffering from traumatic brain injuries as a result of trans athletes is why they will continue losing every election,” she added, noting how Democrats in the Senate blocked the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act&#8221; on Monday.

In response, Cohen took to <a href="https://x.com/Andy/status/1896926410822013308">X</a> and wrote, “surprised you’re buying into the vilification of the trans community given the real problems happening in this country, your previous ally-ship of the lgbtq community, and the fact that this non issue affects about four people in this country.”
McCain hit back, <a href="https://x.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1896928345935466758">writing</a>, “Surprised you’re okay with violence against female athletes. Peyton suffered serious brain damage &#8211; just one story. You have my cell, always happy to talk privately or publicly on either of our shows because these conversations are reductive to hash out on social media.”
A short time later, McNabb saw Cohen&#8217;s dismissive post about the dangers of trans-identifying men playing in women&#8217;s sports and wrote on <a href="https://x.com/paytonmcnabb_/status/1897008078492454999" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a>, &#8220;Andy, calling the protection of women’s sports a ‘non-issue’ that affects ‘four people’ is not just dismissive—it’s factually wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;Hundreds of female athletes have lost podium spots, scholarships, and opportunities,&#8221; she added. &#8220;My own injury was life-changing. And even if it were just one girl, that’s one too many. This is about fairness and safety, not ‘vilification.'&#8221;
McCain wasn&#8217;t the only person who slammed the move by Senate Democrats after a motion to invoke cloture on Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” failed on Monday by a <a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1896714793031188630" target="_blank" rel="noopener">51-45</a> vote. A three-fifths majority — or 60 votes — was needed to cap the debate and proceed to a final vote for passage sometime in the future.
Other outspoken advocates for women’s sports, like <a href="https://x.com/megynkelly/status/1896751618697383986" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a> and Riley Gaines, took to social media and said the Democrats should be shamed for failing to protect young girls.
