"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."
""I'm aware of no evidence to support the claim that transgender people are disproportionately responsible for mass violence events in the U.S., including shootings in schools," Michael Jensen, research director at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, recently told USA Today. "In fact, the data suggests quite the opposite." In 1,000 "mass casualty" plots identified by Jensen since 2023, "you can count on less than one hand how many of those were perpetrated by a transgender individual," he said."
Donald Trump Jr. asserted that the "radical trans moment" is more violent per capita than groups such as al Qaeda and the Taliban while speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show after Charlie Kirk's shooting and on the anniversary of 9/11. He suggested undisclosed mass killings and mocked transgender medical care, claiming violence and hate speech come only from the left. Data indicate 95 percent of mass-shooting perpetrators tracked since 1966 were male and almost all cisgender. Michael Jensen stated there is no evidence that transgender people are disproportionately responsible for mass violence and reported fewer than a handful of related plots since 2023.
