Evidence has been piling up in recent years about the propensity for people who claim to be “transgender,” or those acting on their behalf, to commit the most gruesome acts of political violence.

Most recently, it was the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk. The accused shooter was apparently a gay male living with his male roommate and lover, who claimed to be “transgender.” Kirk’s shooter appears to have been motivated in part by “transgender” ideology. In fact, Kirk was answering a question about the dramatic increase in “transgender”-identifying mass shooters when he was shot.

Just two weeks before Kirk’s assassination, another male who claimed to be “transgender” shot a church full of praying children at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It’s a similar story to another school shooter in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2023. There are many more stories of trans-identifying perpetrators committing violent crimes — and probably even more we don’t know about that authorities have covered up.

With all the evidence continuing to stack up, as my colleague John Daniel Davidson noted, “Transgenderism is a terrorist death cult and we need to treat it the way we treated Al Qaeda or ISIS.”

On Friday, new details emerged about another violent leftist, Nicholas Roske — the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — who now identifies as a female named “Sophie.” Roske also used Discord, the same online platform used by Kirk’s assassin.

Roske reportedly did not ask to have the name of his case, United States v. Nicholas Roske, changed to reflect the name “Sophie.” However, Roske’s federal public defenders reportedly stated that they would refer to Roske as “Sophie” and with incorrect female pronouns “[o]ut of respect.” Why should the federal government bend over backward to lend credence to a criminal defendant’s transgender fantasy?

Nonetheless, Roske, who was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s house with several weapons and burglary tools, seems to be bringing his “sissy slave,” “trans gamer girl” online persona of the same name to legal proceedings, and the government is just going to let it happen… “out of respect.”

The legal documents offer a glimpse into Roske’s alleged bloodthirstiness. Prosecutors alleged that Roske not only wanted to assassinate Kavanaugh, but “meticulously researched, planned, and attempted to assassinate at least one — but had a stated target of three — sitting judges of the United States Supreme Court.” Roske allegedly tracked down the addresses of what he believed to be four Supreme Court justices, bought an arsenal of weapons and tools, and flew across the country to carry out his plot.

“The defendant’s explicit objective was to single-handedly alter the Constitutional order for ideological ends,” the U.S. attorney wrote.

The new revelation about Roske’s transgender identity comes as the Trump administration is looking into ways to stop “transgender” violence, including using counterterrorism tools and preventing the mentally unstable group of people from purchasing firearms.

The Department of Justice is seeking a 30-year sentence for Roske.
