As you can imagine, liberals are in an absolute tizzy over this. There were hundreds of rabid protesters outside the ceremony, and things quickly got out of hand when star athlete Riley Gaines exited the building. The crazed protesters verbally assaulted Gaines and the others who were accompanying her, some of them young children, and one woman in a pink ski-mask even spat on them.

From Headline USA:
A pair of former champion collegiate Division I female athletes, Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan, were assaulted and spat on by “rabid” protestors at the signing of Texas’s “Save Women’s Sports Act.”
According to Michelle Evans, an Independent Women’s Network’s Austin chapter leader, the protest, which was made up of about 250 people, quickly got out of hand, Fox News reported.
“It was — I guess the best word to describe them was they were rabid.”
Evans quickly noticed that things were being thrown at her by the mob.
“When I turned around to go back inside of the building, that’s when somebody threw water on me,” Evans recalled.
“Somebody told me they know where I f—ing live. There was somebody that got in front of me to try to physically block me from going back inside and pushed her body up against mine. Somebody hit my arm, and then someone — a woman in a pink ski mask and sunglasses — spit into my open eye.”
According to Evans, the suspect was apprehended.
Good grief, these people are behaving like wild animals.
I understand the right to protest, but have some decorum, people.
Yelling obscenities, especially around young children, and spitting on people is just disgusting behavior and certainly doesn't help get anyone to their side.
