After Charlie Kirk's death, Trump Jr. falsely claims trans people more dangerous than al-Qaeda [View all]

Donald Trump Jr. has made the outrageous and false claim that transgender people are more dangerous than terrorist groups. Trump Jr. made the comment Thursday on The Megyn Kelly Show in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s shooting death — and on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001.

“I can’t name, including probably like al Qaeda and the Taliban, a group that is more violent per capita than the radical trans moment,” Trump Jr. said. The 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, a terrorist group with a radical interpretation of Islam. He said there may be more “mass killings” that are not known to the public “because you’re not allowed to talk about the truth.”

“I’m sure people are totally sane after jacking themselves up on hormones given to them by some rainbow hair freak doctor because they think men can somehow magically become women,” he said sarcastically. He also falsely claimed that violence and hate speech are coming only from the left.

In reality, the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men — 95 percent of the perpetrators in shootings tracked since 1966 were male, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government. And almost all have been cisgender.
