In the wake of a school shooting in Nashville on Monday, conservatives have gone out of their way to deflect attention away from another call for gun law reforms and to ban certain forms of assault weapons to instead scapegoat the LGBTQ+ community as a whole because the slain shooter, Audrey Hale, 28, a Nashville native, was transgender.
Senator Josh Hee-Hawley of Missouri, without evidence to back up his assertions (as usual) tried to claim this was a hate crime. No, it wasn't, jackass. I'll explain why shortly.
Georgia Misrepresentative Empty-G (Marjorie Taylor Greene) is whining about a rumored protest, also reported by Fox No News, set to take place on April Fool's Day (Saturday) in front of the Supreme Court building in Washington. Empty-G still thinks Antifa is an actual organization, and is blaming Antifa for the protests. Empty-G got her Congressional Twitter account suspended for a week for her anti-trans remarks, which were deleted.
Fox No News' Tabloid Carlson claimed, again without any evidence to support his claims, that transgenders are the "natural enemy" of Christians. No, they're not, dimwit.
Unlike morons like Carlson, Hee-Hawley, and Empty-G, I actually do go to church. The Bible tells us that Jesus' basic message was about love, something that is lost with these conservative peabrains who pander to a voter/viewer base that is under-informed on a variety of issues.
Audrey Hale, it is said, had some psych issues, and could not get the help she needed. What we don't know is if she actively sought help. As has been the case with many shooters, Hale resorted to a mass shooting as a last resort to call attention to her plight. It was only after Hale was identified as trans that the GOPers got their pitchforks out, ignorant of all details. As for Hee-Hawley's claim of a hate crime, the door for that argument closed upon Hale's death.
If Hee-Hawley, Empty-G, and the rest of the GOP Idiot Brigade actually cared about their jobs and the voters, instead of using their positions to be famous for the sake of same, we might actually get something done in Washington. Along with Tabloid Carlson, the silver-spooned jackass, they get the Weasel ears this week.
