Republicans are ripping the Olympics for allowing a 'biological male' to pummel an Italian female athlete, calling the competition 'dangerous' and 'immoral.'
The outrage stems from a 46-second Olympic boxing match between Italian female boxer Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, who's considered to be 'biologically male.'
Khelif, who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics due to issues regarding her gender, savagely rocked Carini with two haymakers early in the fight.
These devastating blows prompted Carini to yell 'This is unjust' before she fell to the canvas and wept over her Olympic dreams getting crushed.
The brutal display infuriated members of the GOP, prompting immediate outcry from the right, who have long championed the separation of genders while competing in sports.
Now, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is trying to crowdfund the $196,000 gold metal cash prize Carini was deprived of, and it's already hit nearly $20,000.

'Angela Carini, the Olympic female boxer from Italy that was defeated in 45 seconds by a biological man, deserves better,' Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., posted on X after the fight went viral.
In her post, Boebert mentioned how she began a fundraiser 'with the goal of raising what Angela would have made from a gold medal' and hoped her followers would 'consider chipping in.'
Italy is reportedly paying Olympic gold medalists around $196,000 each.
After the fight Carini said the savage force of the blows made it 'impossible to continue' in an emotional post-match interview.
'The Olympics give out gold medals in assaulting women,' Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., posted on X following the match.
'Anyone with at least one good eye and common sense can see this wasn't a fair fight,' Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, who himself dons an eyepatch due to a missing eye, ironically posted on X.
'Angelia Carini dedicated her life to boxing and a shot at Olympic glory. Forcing her to fight a competitor with inherent biological advantages was dangerous and immoral,' the one-eyed congressman continued.

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley posted on X: 'It's a disgrace the IOC allowed a man to participate in Women's Boxing and beat a woman in the face on the Olympic stage.'
'These female athletes give their all to be the best. Watching their dreams get crushed by a man is disgusting.'
'Give them justice, withdraw Imane Khelif from competition immediately,' her post continued.
The Republicans fury mirrors that of the outrage expressed in the wake of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas's 2022 NCAA national championship swimming title.
That saga kick-started a flurry of legislation to protect women's sports, including the introduction of laws to outlaw biological males from competing against biological females.
Differences in sex development (DSD) have become a central point of controversy at this year's Olympics after 'biological male' Khelif beat Carini.
Khelif was banned from a previous women's tournament after failing a 'gender assessment' but was controversially given the greenlight to compete at this year's games.
Khelif hasn't yet commented on the subject but speculation abounds that she has a DSD, a rare condition that only affects between 0.05 and 1 percent per cent of the population.

Khelif reportedly has 'intersex' conditions, leading to their having a different developmental process than average women
Also called 'intersex' conditions, DSDs can result in outwardly female individuals having male chromosomes or anatomy.
'A real women, Angela Carini, who trained for years to box at the Olympics is 'defeated' by a real man pretending to be a woman,' Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X.
'HE is a fraud, an imposter, and a liar. Shame on EVERYONE who allows men to compete against women. Democrats support this.'
