A White House briefing occurred the day after a Minneapolis mass shooting that killed two children and injured more than a dozen others. The shooter was identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, formerly Robert. The shooter's identity prompted a wave of anti-trans attacks and a strong condemnation of villainizing the trans community by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. A question was raised at the briefing about whether the administration would support the FBI creating a new domestic terrorism classification aimed at trans ideology. The White House declined to answer immediately and said it would check with appropriate officials.
A pro-MAGA reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if the administration was considering classifying trans people as domestic terrorists. Leavitt on Thursday held a briefing the day after the Minneapolis mass shooting that claimed the lives of two children and injured more than a dozens others. Hours after the tragedy, the shooter was identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, formerly Robert. The identity of the shooter led to a wave of anti-trans attacks, which Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly condemned during a Wednesday press conference.
I've seen a lot of calls for action, you know, among these lawmakers saying that we should be praying, Olohan said. One that I've seen on the right actually is calls for the FBI to institute a new class of domestic terrorism that involves trans ideology. Is that something that the administration would support? Leavitt declined to answer, saying that she would have to check with the appropriate people on that.
