Her whole schtick was how a trans athlete made her a victim by usurping her natural, deserved finish position. AOC's dig lays bare that she wasn't even destined for the podium and that her elevated position in the speaking circuit is predicated on obfuscation, omissions, and willful ignorance.
This very well could've been the first time someone learned the underlying truth about this grifter.
I admit I'd never heard of this person before this post, but I still feel like going after their physical performance was sinking to their level. Even if they did do it first, it just doesn't feel right.

Physical performance is not that limited, it's not like she's not capable of doing any better and she'd dunking on her, there is almost always more you can push yourself, she could spend more time in the gym, tweak her supplements, train harder, this is something elite athletes do. You know what elite athletes don't do? Blame other people.
