Conservative activist Riley Gaines said she had to wrap her newborn daughter in a bulletproof blanket because threats on her life have become so intense.

Gaines, an anti-trans activist, shared the bizarre detail on Fox News' Outnumbered on Wednesday as she and the hosts discussed the ongoing argument given to the US Supreme Court that could result in a ban on trans-identified males from competing in female sports.

Riley, who welcomed her three-month-old daughter Margot in September, brought up how her life has changed since having her and being in her high-profile role.

'I'll tell you, having a little human being, especially a little daughter who's here with me today... She goes everywhere with me. She's been to 16 states, she's met the president. She's gonna be super dangerous at two truths and a lie one day,' Gaines, 25, joked.

While the hosts laughed at her comment, Gaines quickly took a serious turn in the conversation.

'She was there with me on the Supreme Court steps. And honestly, just as you said, there's a level of emotion to it, especially when you have to consider the fact [that] you have a three-month-old baby that you have to wrap in a bulletproof blanket because of the threats that were present there yesterday,' Gaines said, appearing to get a little emotional.

Bulletproof blankets have grown popular over the years amid an increasing surge in gun violence. They typically range from $500 to $2,000.

That really saddens me. People should be allowed to think differently. Sigh
It’s been going on since the beginning of time. Nothing new under the sun.

they make death threats because a person has normal decent family values that existed for thousands of years,
while thinking they are the good people following the ideology made by some psychopath in the 80'.

Honestly I am looking at all the violence against law enforcement and death threats against law enforcement, Conservatives and Christians and its sky rocketing. What is going on.

Its like people have been possessed by some zombie virus and are going around crazy tearing everything down and wanting to actually kill humans for their belief.

If nothing is done then this will escalate into another BLM type riot.

Her actual quote doesn't support the contention of the headline.
Here you go:

'She was there with me on the Supreme Court steps. And honestly, just as you said, there's a level of emotion to it, especially when you have to consider the fact [that] you have a three-month-old baby that you have to wrap in a bulletproof blanket because of the threats that were present there yesterday,' Gaines said, appearing to get a little emotional.

Lawlessness and Christian persecution are on the rise and sadly, it only continues to get worse.

I know what the quote was. That's how I know that the headline is playing loosey-goosey with the truth.

The headline says "threats on her life," which means threats directed specifically at her. Her quote, OTOH, says "threats that were present there," which is much more vague and can include a generally heightened sense of danger.

Not according to the left's version of democracy.
Both sides bicker and argue. I wouldn’t say solely the left. It’s a bit more complicated than that. IMO

I agree there is hatred against the faithful. No argument from me. Thankfully it’s not as bad as it is in the Middle East or China or India.

Agreed. A family of a husband, wife, and children is the norm. Men being men and women being women is the normal, psychologically healthy thing to do.

Pretending otherwise only leads to disorder.

Hmm...

They typically range from $500 to $2,000.

P.T. Barnum is once again proven correct.
