Michael Knowles Wants to Arrest LGBTQ Pride Attendees
“eradicating” transgender identity from public life has called for drag queens and attendees of Pride parades to be arrested for violating public indecency laws.Michael Knowles, of the conservative publication The Daily Wire, who hosts his own self-titled YouTube podcast, made the comments while attempting to defend conservative U.S.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), a darling of the far-right, from accusations of having groped her date during a performance of the Beetlejuice musical at Denver’s Buell Theatre on September 10.Boebert made headlines after a video of her being escorted out of the theater went viral, allegedly for engaging in “disruptive behavior.”That behavior included vaping, singing along with the show, and taking flash photos during the performance, according to the Denver Post.
Boebert initially balked at being asked to leave, reportedly asking theater staff, “Do you know who I am?” and threatening to contact the mayor and complain about her treatment.A second video later emerged of Boebert vaping in the theater, contradicting denials from her campaign manager, according to Them.
