Later that day, she highlighted the achievements of an Olympic athlete: “I am proud to recognize Elana Meyers Taylor—a record-breaking Olympic bobsledder, mother of two, and trailblazing leader—as she represents Team USA at the Winter Olympics. Join me in cheering her on!”
On February 11, 2026, McBath referenced an exchange during a House Judiciary Committee meeting regarding respect for families affected by violence: “Only when she was reminded about my family’s case would Attorney General Pam Bondi agree that yes, the mourning families of those killed by violence should be respected by government officials. Watch our exchange in the @HouseJudiciary Committee today:”
