It is high time the FBI investigate the ideological threat of transgender extremism.
Most who identify as transgender do not pose a violent threat to others. But the ideology is radicalizing people.
First, the list, then what FBI should do.
🧵1/15
1⃣Tyler Robinson
The man who allegedly shot and killed Charlie Kirk was dating a man who identifies as a woman, and he started to support "trans rights" in recent years, his mother told authorities.
This is the latest in a line of violence, however.
🧵2/15
2⃣Robin Westman
This 23-year-old male born Robert Westman opened fire at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis last month, killing 2 kids & injuring 17 before shooting himself.
He identified as transgender and had his mother file an application to change his name.
🧵3/15
3⃣Audrey Elizabeth Hale
This 28-year-old woman identified as male. She shot and killed three children and three adults in March 2023 at The Covenant School in Nashville. She died in a shootout with police.
🧵4/15
4⃣Nicholas Roske
The man who tried to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022 identifies as a woman, according to court documents.
Nicholas Roske, who pleaded guilty in April, identifies as Sophie Roske.
On May 7, 2019, McKinney, a female who identifies as male, joined her fellow student, Devon Erickson, in opening fire at STEM School Highlands Ranch. They killed one and injured eight.
They have been sentenced to life in prison.
🧵6/15
6⃣Snochia Moseley
On Sept. 20, 2018, 26-year-old Snochia Moseley shot and killed four people at a Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland, before killing herself. Her told The Washington Post the perpetrator identified as transgender.
🧵7/15
7⃣Jason Lee Willie
Jason Lee Willie, who goes by Alexia, pleaded guilty to threatening to injure people across state lines. He threatened to r*pe girls in girls' restrooms, sh**t schools, and b*mb churches. He was sentenced to 1 year in prison.
🧵8/15
On Thursday, @ItsYourGov and @Heritage called on the FBI to designate "Transgender Ideology Violent Extremism" as a category of domestic terrorism.
This would make it easier for the FBI to investigate threats & potentially foil future attacks.
1⃣It targets Christian and religious groups
2⃣Features mental illness, suicidal tendencies, and disrespect for genetic human realities &
3⃣Grows through "echo chambers that promote violence against critics."
🧵10/15
Where does the ideology come from?🤔
One of the key forces pushing transgender ideology is the Human Rights Campaign, which published a wishlist in 2020 and the Biden admin implemented over 3/4 of it.
🧵11/15
The Human Rights Campaign claims there is an "epidemic" of violence against people who identify as trans, but its own data shows the homicide risk is actually lower than the average population, as noted in @Quillette
🧵12/15
Transgender activists falsely claim that when conservatives disagree with the notion that men can become women or vice versa, they are seeking to "erase" people and represent a violent threat to their existence. They call it "genocide" when people disagree.
🧵13/15
Furthermore, the SPLC puts conservatives, Christians, & even doctors who disagree with "gender-affirming care" on a "hate map" with chapters of the KKK.
This contributes to the narrative of evil conservatives threatening transgender people.
🧵14/15
Echo chambers saturate people in the rhetoric that: speech against their identities is tantamount to violence; they constantly face threats; & Christians hate them.
These messages may drive them & their allies to violence.
Can we please stop lying around here? Here's the grand jury indictment laying out why Don Lemon was charged.
At the pre-op briefing Chauntyll Louisa Allen briefed Lemon and the other conspirators about where and what they were doing.
On camera, Nekima Armstrong tells Lemon—who knows the location but is hiding it from his audience—that they're going to "disrupt business as usual" at what we later learned was Cities Church.
When did the disruption start? As the pastor was beginning his sermon.
The agitators "oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church's congregants and pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior (for some) chanting and yelling loudly at the pastor and congregants, and/or physically obstructing them as they attempted to exit and/or move about within the church."
🧵2/7
In this indictment, we learn that it was William Kelly ("DaWoke Farmer") who shouted at a little kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis? They're going to burn in hell."
When Don Lemon observed others leaving the service, he described people as "frightened," "scared," and "crying," which he said was understandable because the experience was "traumatic and uncomfortable," which he said was the purpose of the invasion.
Again Lemon said "the whole point of [the operation] is to disrupt."
The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought.
Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School.😡
One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"
🧵1/7
William Kelly, "DaWoke Farmer," shouted, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil."
🧵2/7
About 50 members of the congregation were "stuck" towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they "made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave."
The Congressional Black Caucus and 270 left-leaning groups tried to block me from testifying in Congress. Their rationale was extremely hypocritical and, dare I say, Orwellian.
CBC Chair @RepYvetteClarke said the hearing—which focused on my research on the SPLC—was a "deliberate effort to intimidate and discredit an institution that has spent decades defending civil rights, exposing hate, and advancing opportunity for all Americans."
🧵2/12
She said the hearing "undermines the very civil institutions that give everyday people voice, protection, and power."
So, she's endorsing the SPLC's "hate" accusations and failing to admit that the SPLC itself has undermined "civil institutions." More on that later.
Here's @RepCohen's press release touting that he questioned the "smear" that the SPLC is anti-Christian, suggesting that he stood up against supposedly false claims.
But I know what really happened, because I was the witness.
🧵1/7
Cohen did mention that some Christians support the SPLC. I don't disagree. It seems he thought I wouldn't be able to defend my assertion that the SPLC is anti-Christian, however.
I came ready to defend the claim.
🧵2/7
Here's theclip. Thanks to @chiproytx for allowing Cohen's questions to go over the 5 min in the @JudiciaryGOP hearing.
I noted that the SPLC, when branding @RuthInstitute a "hate group," cited as evidence @DrJrobackmorse's quoting the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger apparently doesn’t consider it disqualifying for someone to endorse an activist group that considers the official teaching of your faith “hateful.”
The whistleblower account @Minnesota_DHS went viral after accusing Tim Walz of retaliation against whistleblowers amid the massive fraud scandals. X suspended the account. Conservatives think this was more retaliation.
“Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” @billglahn with @MNThinkTank told me.
He said the X account had been feeding him information only insiders would know.
🧵2/8
State Rep. @KRobbinsMN suggested "someone went to X and said, 'They're not who they say they are,' which just is not true." Robbins told me that she has met in person with the whistleblowers behind the account.
