Pay attention to who they’re giving a platform to over at Fox News. Listen to their hateful, dehumanizing rhetoric. Then speak out against it forcefully.
@hchaddy @georgetakei and Elon musk fully supports her pathetic
@hchaddy @georgetakei She goes by libsoftiktok on Twitter. Truly a vile, hateful person.
@georgetakei OMG, here in Argentina when I tune Fox News I tend to laugh, but it's not funny with people with this rhetoric. They fuel hatred. Especially touchy issue for me, because I'm a gay man and never in my 30 years of life did I try a 'recruitment' LOL ridiculous.
@georgetakei Seems strange that these people who are so worried about "groomers" never protest at churches that have covered up for pedophiles.
@kyozou @georgetakei Indeed. Sexual abuse is rampant in fundamentalist evangelical churches.
@georgetakei OMG f*ck fox news they are so sickening.

@georgetakei I really wonder what goes through people's heads when they decide to go on a major media outlet and say things like this.

Some people just love being awful, I guess.

@deadsuperhero @georgetakei that woman particularly revels in it. She and her buddies went after a writer friend of mine on TikTok (different reason, same venom). And nothing happens to them. Anytime who was banned on the birdsite was invited back. Ego Must loves the awful.
@guitardis @deadsuperhero @georgetakei It's not just Elon, Twitter would never ban accounts of Republicans who blatantly break terms of service under the guise of being equal to "both sides." Harmful content also keeps users active, which increases revenue. Corporate social media has blood on its hands as it actively encourages right-wing rhetoric to become more extreme.
@georgetakei This type of speech is so typical on The Fixed News... The only thing we can do is avoid watching it...
@customer228 @georgetakei If we ignore the problem, it grows.
We have to pay attention. We have to stay one step ahead of the hatred in order to protect ourselves.
@pburke46 You're right, Patty!
@georgetakei sounds like they’re projecting what they’re actually doing on other people…
@ItsMeganJoy @georgetakei Can’t spell GOP without:
- Gaslight
- Obstruct
- Project
They do more projection than an IMAX movie.
@georgetakei I assume she's referring to the Republicans looking to pass child marriage laws?

@georgetakei The whole "gay people are groomers" trope is old and had been tossed in the junk bin of history. That the right is dusting it off to reuse it shows that they aren't above using any outdated racist tropes. I'm straight, but Jewish and have seen antisemitic tropes being reused also.

It figures that the ONE time that the right recycles, it's a recycling of bigoted tropes!

@TechyDad @georgetakei
They have selective memory loss. They barely waited an entire generation after the Catholic Church scandal, which is what made that bigoted trope ridiculously hypocritical, to bring it back. Meanwhile, those of us that remember Anita Bryant and the AIDS crisis are tired and don't want to relive all that bs again.
@georgetakei
Chaya Raichik is "Libs of Tik Tok". She's the one directly responsible for a Boston children's hospital getting bomb threats, armed people threatening children in libraries, and so much more. She's the evil one.
@ScottSoCal @georgetakei Just did some reading on her. She’s awful.
@JaneinNJ @georgetakei
She's trying to get people killed, and based on her actions, I don't think she cares much who it is.

@georgetakei The Cult Of Trump are saying that the LGBTQ+ community is a cult? I kinda think trying to overthrow an election is extremely poisonous, and evil. And they're Grooming kids by banning books.

But what do I know?

@georgetakei Every. Single. Accusation. A. Confession.
@georgetakei The best response to statements like them is to respond directly to them with the phrase "Citation needed."
@georgetakei Somehow I suspect neither of them would know the LGBTQ+ community if they tripped over it.
@georgetakei it's friggin' Fox News, what did you expect? sanity? :)
@georgetakei I used to wish I could live forever. Has a massive panic attack and on-going depression for a week when I was 12 because I didn’t want to die one day. Now I’m thinking it’s not too bad to leave this world because of the people in it.

@georgetakei

GOP have given up on actual policy

...it's ONLY about creating threats
...protect your borders!...both outer and inner...!
#voteblue

@georgetakei this woman is nuts. That Fox would allow this is ridiculous.
@georgetakei those vile people are a dying breed.

@roysterini @georgetakei

I wishβ€”but she looks to be about 40, and when you consider the rapid-aging effect of pure evil, she’s probably younger than that.

LGBTs don’t recruit young people, but POSs like her sure do.

@MollyNYC @georgetakei I still feel the trend will be their eventual demise.
I hear ya though.
@roysterini @georgetakei Not necessarily. Many of them have kids they are trying to raise just like them.
@georgetakei The IMAX level of projecting coming from their studios is impressive, in addition to terrifying.πŸ˜”
@georgetakei Fox News is a fascist propaganda outlet, not a credible news source.
@georgetakei But she went on Tucker and FOX. Can’t get much more extreme or bigoted than that.
@Wayne57 @georgetakei Tucker is something else. He dog whistles to white supremacists constantly, and he clearly admires the Putin government and other fascists while detesting democratic institutions of the West. It's wrong to describe him as a conservative. He is a reactionary, but a reactionary who longs for systems of government more right wing than have ever been the case in the USA - his heart is with ideologies that are anathema for any red-blooded American.

@georgetakei I always find it funny when the Right calls the LGBT community a "cult" that recruits children when they attack anyone who is in any way critical of them or the USA as "Traitors" and demand children pledge to the State in front of the flag every morning.

Every accusation is a confession.

@georgetakei I don’t know where she went to school or what her upbringing was. There are no excuses for this obnoxious behavior. Her two brain cells aren’t working in tandem evidently.

@georgetakei

@OCRbot, please make up for the original post's shortcomings.

Chaya Raichik went on Tucker
Carlson and said the "LGBTQ
community has become this
cult... It's extremely poisonous."
She later says "They're just evil
people, and they're out to groom
kids. They're recruiting."

This is one of the most bigoted
interviews I've ever heard.

@georgetakei Why don't a couple LGBTQIA+ come together and sue for defamation?
@georgetakei I'm so tired of living in a world that does not know me - yet feels free to use this kind of dehumanizing rhetoric.
@georgetakei They also misspelled β€œChristianity”.
@georgetakei fox is all hate all Day
@georgetakei
What else can you expect from right-wing idiots who have failed at everything and want to blame LGBTQ people?
@georgetakei If she is going on national television then at least she should have her roots done.
@georgetakei I believe this kind of rhetoric is directly tied to the domestic terror attacks happening at power stations. It makes me wonder what is next ?
#ChristoFascist #DomesticTerrorists
@georgetakei "giving a platform to . . . " is correct. "Interview" is not what's happening over there. The programming is grooming its viewers and they think it's the other way around.
@georgetakei of course she looks like she's got a horse face. She's hideous inside and out.
@georgetakei Disgusting hateful idiots.
That looks like the kind of dog-whistle nonsense which I'd expect to find in the Torygraph or the π•―π–†π–Žπ–‘π–ž π•³π–Šπ–Žπ–‘β€¦
@georgetakei Pure bigoted evil. Bigots need to be in the closet.
