An Anti-Trans 'Hate Murder' (That Wasn’t‪)‬ Damage Control

    • Society & Culture

When a non-binary teenager named Nex Benedict died earlier this week, left-wing media outlets and LGBT activists rushed to blame conservatives, in particular, the right-wing Twitter account Libs of TikTok. But, they jumped the gun—and their blame game was always baseless to begin with.
Brad Polumbo breaks it down on this episode of the DAMAGE CONTROL podcast. Then, he discusses a disturbing recent incident that shows trans athlete mania hitting its peak and breaks down one of the craziest Cancel Culture stories yet: this time targeting a 90-year-old over pronouns!
As always, Brad rounds out the show by reacting to some unhinged LGBT TikToks.

01:13 The tragic death of Nex Benedict
03:43 TikTok's reaction & the media coverage
06:25 What's the connection to Libs of TikTok?

12:15 The sinister motivation behind the blame game
13:36 This HAS to be the peak of trans athlete insanity

27:53 Brad reacts to insane LGBT TikToks
