Gaines also reacted to Mozzy Clark suing the State Department of Corrections for allowing a convicted child molester Christopher Scott Williams, who pretended to be a woman, in a woman's prison in Washington. The swimmer turned social activist called out the authorities over their alleged inaction as she posted on her X account,

"I mean, what did they expect? They put a VIOLENT CHILD RAPIST in an isolated space with vulnerable women? This is cruel and unusual punishment. They knowingly put these women in harm's way. Good for the female inmate that's suing."

Riley Gaines has been campaigning on multiple issues, from protesting against the participation of trans athletes in women's sports, to raising her voice over illegal immigration. The swimmer turned social activist also campaigned against the gender affirming care for minors, which was banned by the US administration under President Trump in early 2025.
