The Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) reported that their custom bus—used for a New Mexico tour promoting women’s sports—was hit with eggs during a stop in Santa Fe on Monday. The group had gathered in the state’s capital to mark the 53rd anniversary of Title IX, joined by U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
The tour features a newly wrapped bus bearing the slogan “HER GAME HER LEGACY,” designed to highlight and honor female athletes. The bus included handwritten notes and signatures, including one from McMahon herself.
But what was meant to be a celebration turned disruptive, as IWF claims the vehicle was vandalized while parked at the event.
Photos shared with Fox News Digital reveal cracked eggshells scattered beneath the bus and visible smears on its side panels.
Victoria Coley, IWF’s vice president of communications, addressed the incident in a statement to the outlet. “Following our ‘Her Game. Her Legacy.’ event honoring the 53rd anniversary of Title IX and generations of female athletes, our tour bus—clearly branded to celebrate women’s sports—was targeted and vandalized with eggs,” she said. “The individual came dangerously close to hitting me directly. We have filed a police report, and security cameras captured the suspect in the act.”
Coley also called out what she described as escalating hostility: “In recent days, agitators in Santa Fe have made our event and state-wide bus tour a focal point for harassment, but let me be clear: Independent Women will not be intimidated. We will never back down from protecting women’s sports, defending sex-based rights, and standing up for female athletes across this state and this country. Our ‘Her Game. Her Legacy.’ bus tour will continue to all 33 counties of New Mexico—unshaken and undeterred.”
Fox News Digital has submitted a public records request to the Santa Fe Police Department, and according to documents provided by IWF, a case has indeed been opened.
The alleged egging wasn’t the only disruption. IWF noted in a press release that they were forced to find a new venue at the last minute after the original host pulled out due to conflicting values with the organization’s mission.
Despite the setback, the event went forward with several notable speakers. Among them were McMahon and Payton McNabb, a former high school volleyball player who has since become an advocate for women’s sports.
McMahon reflected on the change of plans, telling Fox News Digital, “I thought it was unfortunate, but I have to say the event was actually incredibly good. I’m sure for the event managers of the event, it was chaos for them, but as far as I was considered, it was seamless.”
This is not the first time an IWF bus has been the target of vandalism. During a July 2024 rally in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the group found their bus had been defaced with eggs, profanity, and hostile messages such as “Trans women are women,” “F— transphobia,” and “Bigots on board.”
At the time, IWF responded forcefully: “Radical gender ideologues on a mission to erase womanhood seek to keep us quiet. WE WON’T BACK DOWN. WOMEN WON’T BE SILENT,” the group posted on X.
More from New Mexicos tolerant left….they will never be prosecuted. NM has become an absolute shithole for no reason.
Erik, sadly you are right.
New Mexico has become a shithole because the entire state has surrendered to the woke, Marxist ideology that’s always been looming in the background here. The majority of the population has been raised on entitlement theory. Rather than take the strengths of the state and build on them they constantly pursue income redistribution and other failed social experiments and are constantly indoctrinated to this ideology in the schools. Just out of curiosity how many of the Marxist leaders are women ?
according to the dems a man is a woman and a woman is a man. in the case of democrat men, i would have to agree with that. a sorry bunch of nothings.
The Left is desperate. Their hate-filled actions are EGGS aspirating..
It doesn’t take much to EGG the Left on; they’re easily triggered.
The bus will ge at the Deming courthouse tomorrow at 2:00. Join us, if you can.
Meet the bus in Deming.at 2:00, Thursday,
June 26 at the Luna County Courthouse.
Cool. Hope you hosed the bus off right away. Eggs dried in the sun are almost impossible to get off of your car, your home. Don’t ask me how I know, and don’t give in to that hatred.
remember the 90 lbs losers that pulled down the obelisk in the santa fe plaza ? the cops ran the other way as this was done. Mayor Weber said life is more valuable property. you cant stop a few hippies ? come on. the losers that did the crime were given restorative justice. they didnt pay any money, they didnt do time. this is what the democrat party is all about, excusing crime and anti social behavior. You can bet the people that vandalized that bus were young white women and men. misguided trash.
how many democrats spoke at the event in favor of women ? let me guess ZERO. if you vote democrat, you need to see mental health treatment.
Goes to show that Leftists are EGGStreme.
Dems can’t even define “woman.”
not a word about this on any of the local ABQ TV news stations. KOAT KRQE KOB. nothing. not only do they disrepect women, they keep them in the dark about what is going on. they are not news services, they are propoganda outlets. protect the dem party at any and all costs. beyond shameful.
I was at the event in Santa Fe, mainly old white libs and creepy guys
protesting. Inside, beautiful strong accomplished women. Why can’t there be a trans category for sports…I know why, do you? Apathetic people wake up, you’ll be next if you don’t support and engage! Everything we know and love is part of their movement, first the children..
How can any women with a brain vote for democrat or join the party. That party is so against every thing that a woman is meant to be. The women ,I see, that is a democrat acts like a street walker, acts like a shrew and lacks morals. They appear to lack respect for themselves. They are not the nurturing humans they were created for. GOD help us.
I thought eggs were still very expensive! Must have been rich liberals throwing them. “Hate” now has more equivalent names; left, liberal, democrat, etc. They are synonymous and resort to violent and destructive incoherent behavior.
