Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Word
I'd bet she was an asshole and helped do fucked up stuff but it doesn't make me want her to die, especially not in this context
Nazis get the wall, Republicans only get the gulag (which was pretty OK when it wasn't full of Nazis)
As another user helpfully pointed out, there doesn't seem to be any basis to this. https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/does-this-drag-loving-trans-pretending
It's weird to respond to a story of a trans person being harassed to death by a transphobic newspaper by saying "I'd bet she was an asshole".
I'm only basing that on the part where she's a Republican politician, and that alone. I mean we don't have a lot of information here but it's obviously pretty likely she materially advanced right wing causes in the right wing party. That's all. And I'm saying it doesn't make this story a good thing at all. It's also good to hear she didn't push queerphobic stuff as mayor or as pastor
