On Tuesday’s Deadline: White House on MSNBC, host Nicole Wallace once again proved that she will distort reality and twist facts to further her left-wing political agenda. This indisputable fact was on display when she gathered her panel of miscreants to discuss the troubling incident over the weekend where over thirty men linked to the white supremacist “Patriot Front” were arrested in an attempt to disrupt a “Pride Month” event.
Instead of chalking it up to a group of deranged racists intent on causing a violent incident, Wallace and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart suggested it is part of a trend of “anti-LGBTQ hate” from Republicans like Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and others.
“AP writes this, last month a fundamentalist Idaho pastor told his small Boise congregation that gay, lesbian, and transgender people should be executed by the government. Another fundamentalist pastor in Texas gave similar sermons,” Wallace said using an extreme example of hatred that nobody endorses.
She then wailed that “Heather Scott, an Idaho Republican lawmaker recently told an audience that drag queens and other LGBTQ supporters are waging, quote, 'a war of perversion against our children,' end quote.” Wallace then bemoaned how “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he would consider sending child protective services to investigate parents who take their kids to drag shows.”
The suggestion is that because DeSantis wants to protect children from sexually explicit “drag shows”, a group of white supremacists and a fringe Idaho pastor want to kill LGBTQ people.
Capehart responded by recommending people “call out those elected officials, those public officials who are engaging in the rhetoric, engaging in pushing and signing the legislation that targets the LGBTQ community.”
Continuing his ranting, Capehart claimed, “the attacks on gender identity and the LGBTQ community are…having an impact.”
MSNBC comparing the protection of children from inappropriate sexual content to the murder of LGBTQ people was made possible by Progressive. Their information is linked.

MSNBC’s Deadline: White House
6/14/2022
4:42:35 p.m. EasternNICOLE WALLACE: AP writes this, last month a fundamentalist Idaho pastor told his small Boise congregation that gay, lesbian, and transgender people should be executed by the government. Another fundamentalist pastor in Texas gave similar sermons. Representative Heather Scott, an Idaho Republican lawmaker recently told an audience that drag queens and other LGBTQ supporters are waging, quote, a war of perversion against our children, end quote. And last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he would consider sending child protective services to investigate parents who take their kids to drag shows. Jonathan Capehart, this isn't just one-off. This is an alternative reality. What was Kellyanne Conway's thing? Alternate facts?
JONATHAN CAPEHART: Alternative facts.
WALLACE: This is an alternate universe of hate, of intolerance, of violence, asking the government to execute them. I mean, this is beyond flashing red. What do we do?
CAPEHART: Well, one, we have to keep talking about this. We have to do what Frank did and call out those elected officials, those public officials who are engaging in the rhetoric, engaging in pushing and signing the legislation that targets the LGBTQ community, and on top of the AP report, you know, I want to go back to the Southern Poverty Law Center poll that was released last week or two weeks ago that I wrote about, and part of that report, which was focused on the, quote, great replacement conspiracy in the wake of blacks being targeted by a white nationalist in Buffalo, it also makes the point that the attacks on gender identity and the LGBTQ community are also having an impact.
