As for reporters who are now trying to get her to “say something bad about President Trump because he doesn’t like me,” Gaines offered this “newflash”:
I don’t do what I do or say what I say to be liked. If that were the case, I would stick behind the slogan of “Trans women are women.” I do what I do and say what I say because I have moral conviction, which seems to be a foreign concept to some people.
I’d Love for Trump To Be Saved, Says Riley Gaines
Riley Gaines, who said her feelings aren’t hurt easily, knows that “with the president, it’s really not personal.” She added, “We’ve had our tiffs before.”
About Trump’s criticism of her stance, Gaines said, “At the end of the day, I do nothing for the approval of man, no matter who that man is, including the president. Our main purpose on this earth is to glorify the Lord, our Creator, our Savior, in everything that we do.”
Gaines continued: “I want to spend eternity in a very real place called heaven, and I would love for the president to be there as well.” Saying that “Jesus is the way, he is the truth, he is the life,” Gaines concluded, “I’m going to keep doing my part by speaking the truth and doing my best to lead people to Christ and supporting the America First agenda, which [involves] supporting President Trump.”
