TERF Wars? Tucker Carlson’s downward spiral into crankdom & irrelevance continues. He recently hosted ‘Investment Consultant’ Christoper G. Moritz who offered a far flung conspiracy theory of an international financial plot to make everybody trans! Trans, Inc. he calls it. 1/12
'WHO?' you might ask? Carlson gushed about being ‘excited’ to discover Christopher Moritz’s ‘work’ on the subject and ‘years’ of ‘following the money.’ And that is where the whole imbroglio goes weird. 2/12
With ZERO published work on the subject matter, ZERO history of public activism on this issue, and ZERO TERF bonafides of ANY sort, Moritz was immediately ROASTED by the TERF community as a fraud, charlatan, grifter, and plagiarist. LOL 😂😂😂😂😂 3/12
Christopher Moritz was rightly accused of completely co-opting widely known research from at least one prominent TERF activist. The incident was accurately framed as a man taking credit for a woman’s work and accomplishments (however dubious those accomplishments may be.) 4/12
Showing that he is clearly in over his head, Chris Moritz responded to the valid criticism by blocking TERF activists, (including the one he plagiarised) & hiding critical Twitter comments.
That should work out great for him since they are theoretically on the same side. 😂 5/12
Drawing on the hoary ‘broken clock’ analogy & as much as we hate to agree with them on anything, you gotta hand it to the TERFs for recognizing ASTROTURF when laid out in front of them. 6/12
Christopher Moritz is not exactly a political neophyte. A childhood friend of notorious fascist Trump lackey Stephen Miller, he did a brief stint in the Trump era U.S. Department of Commerce as a Senior Advisor for the International Trade Administration. 7/12
Whether childhood pal Stephen Miller got him that job and/or the Tucker Carlson appearance is not certain, but Miller quickly boosted this obscure bigoted plagiarist to his 500,000+ Twitter followers. 8/12
This obscure finance-bro douchebag/cum wanna-be celebrity hatemonger's most significant prior public profile was as a failed child actor. with a small role in the 1995 film 'the Indian in the Cupboard.' 9/12imdb.com/name/nm0605757…
Christopher Moritz's latest grab at the brass ring seems to have blown up in his face.
In this fascist retelling of a ‘Star is Born,’ Moritz imagined himself as Judy Garland but is instead revealed as the dipsomaniacal James Mason. 10/12
Christopher Moritz's coming out party is one of the most bald-faced and opportunistic attempts to fabricate a right wing political star in recent memory. The HILARIOUS public unmasking is worthy of a second box of popcorn. 11/12
Anti-LGBTQ bigot and aspiring super-villain Christopher Moritz's thin credentials and apparently even thinner skin are a recipe for a bumpy road. This schmuck might not like the spotlight so much, hopefully he crawls back under his rock or at least back in the cupboard.. 12/12
