   For three days after the Colorado gay nightclub massacre   
   Democrats and their media allies smeared conservative opponents   
   of drag queen groomer hour as “stochastic terrorists” who are to   
   blame for the tragedy.   
      
   Then, to their chagrin on Tuesday, the suspect’s lawyers filed   
   court papers saying he identifies as nonbinary and uses the   
   pronouns “they, them.”   
      
   Suddenly their right-wing homophobia narrative collapsed in a   
   heap. Not that it caused them any self-reflection. They will   
   just wait for the next opportunity to weaponize a tragedy.   
      
   Of course, for all their emoting, they never had any genuine   
   concern for the five Colorado victims, who were just weapons to   
   wield against their most effective opponents on the right.   
      
   Just as the left transformed George Floyd’s death under the knee   
   of a white cop into a race civil war that won them votes in the   
   2020 election, they planned to turn the Club Q massacre into a   
   new culture war. They are panicking because Elon Musk has   
   dismantled the left-wing censorship regime on Twitter that   
   propped up so many of their dishonest narratives, so their aim   
   is to justify a new round of censorship by pretending   
   conservatives are provoking anti-LGBTQ violence.   
      
   There is no tragedy they will not exploit for political benefit.   
   But their haste to judge has left them with egg on their face.   
      
   Whatever the story is behind Colorado suspect Anderson Lee   
   Aldrich’s gender reveal, what has been obvious from the start is   
   that he is a mentally ill person whose life was littered with   
   red flags that should at least have kept him away from guns.   
      
   Why did authorities not act on a 2021 complaint from Aldrich’s   
   grandparents that he planned to carry out a mass shooting, as   
   reported Wednesday by KKTV 11 News from old arrest papers?   
      
   There are lots of useful lessons to be taken from the tragedy,   
   but demonizing Fox News is not one of them. An obese 22-year-old   
   who reportedly was bullied at school, Aldrich had been abandoned   
   by his drug-addict, porno-actor father, and left to the tender   
   mercies of a mother with her own drug habit, run-ins with the   
   law and a “severe borderline personality disorder.”   
      
   None of this was of any interest to Michelle Goldberg, a New   
   York Times Op-Ed staff writer who didn’t even wait until the   
   bodies were cold before politicizing the massacre in a   
   mendacious piece titled “Club Q and the Demonization of Drag   
   Queens.”   
      
   Her line is that far-right villains such as Tucker Carlson and   
   Ron DeSantis are responsible for fostering an “escalating anti-   
   gay and anti-trans violence [and] growing moral panic about   
   children being ‘groomed’ into gender nonconformity.”   
      
   “They don’t get to duck responsibility if a sick man with a gun   
   took them seriously,” she says.   
      
   Her pantheon of evildoers included conservative writer Chris   
   Rufo. But a cursory glance at his work reveals careful, evidence-   
   based essays mainly in the prestigious City Journal. He has done   
   parents a service by shining a light on the sinister ideological   
   origins of Drag Queen Story Hour and attempts to hypersexualize   
   children, indoctrinate them into “queer theory” and confuse them   
   about their sex.   
      
   This is serious reporting that the Times will probably get   
   around to doing in a few years when it becomes impossible to   
   ignore class actions from grown-up children who were tricked   
   into ruining their lives with gender surgery and hormone therapy.   
      
   Goldberg also named Matt Walsh, The Daily Wire writer who   
   unflinchingly covers the sick fad of surgical mutilation of   
   children done under the euphemistic cover of “gender   
   affirmation.” His reporting forced Tennessee’s Vanderbilt   
   University transgender clinic to “pause” its lucrative and   
   irreversible gender surgery on children, including double   
   mastectomies on girls.
