Gaetz Suggests Wisconsin School Shooter Was Trans

The Hill reports:

“To all the idiots who claimed the shooter was trans with no information whatsoever to believe that, f**k off. Your ignorance speaks volumes.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) that asked “What about trans control instead?” after President Biden’s demand for tougher gun laws.

Far-right social media personalities and conservative provocateurs in recent years have been quick to claim, often without evidence, that transgender people were behind some of the nation’s most devastating acts of violence. Perpetrators of mass shootings at a Texas elementary school, celebrity pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch and a high school in suburban Iowa were all baselessly identified as trans.
