Trump brings Algerian boxer Iman Khelif into his campaign against Harris

Algerian Olympic boxing champion Imane Khelif has once again found herself in the middle of controversy, after being used as a tool in a political campaign led by US presidential candidate Donald Trump, as part of his election advertisements.

The former US President, Khalifa, is portrayed as an example of the spread of transgenderism in societies, although the Algerian heroine is completely alien to this approach.

In a Trump campaign video that attempts to bash Biden-Harris policies, footage of Iman Khalif raising her hand after winning a fight at the Paris Olympics was shown. The image of Khalif was shown as examples of the collapse of the Biden-Harris era.

This video has drawn much criticism, especially with the repeated comment in which the narrator says: “Men can beat women and win medals,” in a consecration of the view that Trump is trying to create about Iman Khalif.

The former US President did not stop there, as he recently appeared on the Undertaker podcast, speaking several times about Iman Khalif as a “man,” stressing that “protecting” women’s sports from transgender athletes was a major priority for him during the upcoming elections.

In this podcast, Undertaker, the host of the program, brought his daughter into the studio in an attempt to show how young women are affected by such issues. This was a preparation for Trump, who used her presence to once again draw his arrows at Khalifa.

“I think it’s very insulting to women,” Trump said. “She wants to play sports and she wants to play against women. You don’t necessarily want to play against men. It’s fine but you don’t want to do it.”

“Did you see that boxing match at the Olympics? Did you see that pretty Italian girl? She's supposed to be a good boxer. She just got a left jab. The guy makes a big sound. Like a defensive punch.”

“I’ve never seen anything like it before,” he added. “She didn’t fall, she just went back to her corner and said, ‘I got hit harder than I’ve ever been hit before.’”

In the midst of her battle for the Olympic title last August, the former US president launched a fierce attack on boxer Iman Khalif, attempting to undermine her dignity as a woman. This began for the first time with a message on his platform “Truth Social” in which he promised that he would “exclude men from women’s competitions” if elected in November, attaching a video clip of the fight between Iman Khalif and Italy’s Angela Carini.

This fight lasted only 46 seconds, as Khalifa's opponent deliberately withdrew and refused to shake hands, and tried to present herself as a victim who faced "manly punches" and found support in that from the most important political figures in her country and the world.

Trump returned to attack Algerian boxing again in a speech he gave to his supporters in the context of the American elections, saying that the Italian boxer, whom he described as a champion, “was hit so hard that she didn’t know what hit her.”

He added, mocking the Algerian boxer: “He (her opponent) was a transgender person. He was a good male boxer.” He continued: “But she (the Italian) did not give up until he hit her two strong blows, then she said I will withdraw.”

Trump used the boxing case of Iman Khalif as a pretext to attack his presidential rival Kamala Harris, considering that the Democratic Party supports transgender issues and promotes gender theories that conservatives consider moral decadence.
