Thousands of Christians Outraged at Tucker Carlson's Transgender 'Lies'
Fox News host Tucker Carlson's recent comments in which he accused the trans community of targeting Christians in the wake of the recent Covenant School shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.In his op-ed published on March 28, Carlson made several arguments about why the trans community "seem to be mad specifically at traditional Christians" and noted that the "trans movement is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy."Carlson published the op-ed after Audrey Hale, 28, fatally shot six people, including three 9-year-olds, at the private Christian elementary school on March 27.
Hale, who was transgender, was shot and killed by police officers at the scene.Carlson's remarks sparked outrage among members of Faithful America, a large online community of progressive Christians, who launched an online petition seeking 20,000 signatures to show support for transgender people.
Faithful America, according to its website, seeks to counter the "religious right [who aim] to serve a hateful political agenda." One of its goals is to resist and challenge "Christian nationalism and white supremacy." The group had gathered 15,399 signatures from supporters as of Friday morning.Hale's motive remains unknown, but police found a manifesto that detailed months-long plans to carry out the attack.
The Metro Nashville Police Department said on Monday that "it is known that Hale considered the actions of other mass murderers."Referencing the shooting in his op-ed, Carlson wrote that Christians and trans people "can never be reconciled," arguing that "Christianity and transgender orthodoxy are wholly incompatible theologies."They can never be reconciled.
