Conservative political commentator, Michael Knowles, called for the eradication of transgender people during his 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech, The Daily Beast reports.

Writer Alejandra Caraballo tweeted a clip from Knowles' CPAC speech, writing, "Michael Knowles is openly calling for genocide against trans people at CPAC." She then included the Daily Wire host's quote: "Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."

The Daily Beast reports:

Saturday does not mark the first time Knowles' has used this anti-transgender rhetoric. Just last week, Knowles' responded to backlash he faced for a similar transphobic comment calling for a ban on "transgenderism."

Last month on The Michael Knowles Show, he said, "I don't know how you could have a genocide of transgender people because genocide refers to genes, it refers to genetics, it refers to biology. And the whole point of transgenderism is that it has nothing to do with biology."

3. Just the beginning. Women who get reproductive healthcare are to be executed as well

12. Hunted down by other people

Than executed. Other people who suspect a woman can report on suspicion of an abortion. She will be arrested ,if found seeking an abortion gets charged with a felony as anyone who helps her get the abortion who also gets a felony. These fucking fascist assholes are out of control disgusting pigs.
