Trump Jr. blames trans people for Melissa Hortman's murder [View all]

Trump Jr. blames trans people for Melissa Hortman's murder https://share.google/gxOSYfbin1fwITYrK



The suspected shooter in the assassination of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman once claimed that transgender people have been corrupted by "the enemy" — but that hasn't stopped Donald Trump Jr. from claim he's part of the "radical transgender movement."

The president's son falsely claimed during a recent conversation with right-wing pundit Benny Johnson that the man accused of murdering and attempting to murder Democratic lawmakers, who had a list of Democratic elected officials and other progressive activists he intended to target, is actually a left-wing extremist with connections to the trans community.

“It’s like the radical transgender movement is per capita the most violent domestic terror threat, if not in America, probably the entire world … because you have all these shooters and murderers or attempted murderers in such a tiny population," Trump Jr. said, contrary to all available evidence.
