College swimmer Riley Gaines has responded to claims that she tried to “dodge a kiss” from former President Donald Trump during a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event in Dallas.

A former college swimmer at the University of Kentucky, Gaines made headlines after she spoke against transgender athletes, or biological males, competing in women’s sports. A video appeared to show Trump introducing Gaines at the CPAC stage and approaching her before he pulled away.
