You Can’t Make These Things Up.

I don’t like posting all these spiteful articles of lawmakers trying to pass these horrible laws against us but they keep coming out with crazier stuff.

At a time of increased of anti LGBTQ+ rhetoric and violence, Republican Texas state Rep. Tony Tinderholt — who has endorsed the death penalty for Texans who undergo or perform abortions — has hired a new legislative director, self-proclaimed Christian nationalist Jake Neidert, who once tweeted that parents who take their children to drag shows should be executed in public.

The hiring comes just before a legislative session that is “expected to focus heavily on anti-trans bills,” The Texas Tribune reports.

Christian nationalists are an extreme group. “There’s a long history of Christian nationalism in the United States, and it has often been the type of nationalism that tries to exclude others,” Dr. David W. Scott, a Methodist historical researcher and the director of mission theology at the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church, explained on the UMC blog. “American Christian nationalism has tried to define the United States as a native white Protestant nation and exclude all others: Catholics, African Americans, indigenous peoples, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, etc.”

I think the above paragraph says it all.

Neidert has also denounced the arrests of Patriot Front members who intended to commit violence at a Pride event in Idaho and has made light of the death of unarmed Black man George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, saying “George Floyd is two years sober today” on the second anniversary of the murder.

He is not just anti-trans but he goes for the jugular vein.
