‘These Trannies Bash Back’: Lawmaker Who Sponsored Child Trans Surgery Ban Says Home Was Vandalized | Eastern North Carolina Now

    A state senator in Utah who sponsored legislation to ban transgender surgeries on minors said on Friday that his home was vandalized.

    State Sen. Mike Kennedy said that his home had been recently vandalized and posted a photo showing the words "FASH" and "These trannies bash back" spray-painted in red on a house.

    "To those who seek to use violence, vandalism, and intimidation to deter me from standing up for what is right, let me be clear: you will not succeed," Kennedy wrote on Facebook. "I will not be deterred by your cowardly actions."

    "The recent vandalism to my family's home was not just an attack on me, but on the very principles our state stands for," he continued. "We will not let fear and violence control our destiny."

    Kennedy wrote that Utahns "will always stand up and push back against radicals who seek to push their agenda in our state," adding that he's "more determined than ever to work with the good people of Utah to make our state a better place for all, especially our children."

    Closing the post, Kennedy said, "I won't back down."

    Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox in January signed Senate Bill 16, sponsored by Kennedy, into law, banning transgender surgeries on kids and placing a hold on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children.

    Kennedy's Facebook post about the vandalism was met with more than a hundred comments, with most supportive of the state senator's work to fight radical LGBT policies concerning minors.

    "Keep standing tall Mike! Thank you for protecting kids!," one comment read, with another saying, "Thank you for standing up to these thugs. You do everyone proud with your work."

    "Thank you for all your efforts!" another said. "They try to bully us into inaction and silence but it will not work. I believe that anyone who engages in this kind of behavior is deeply troubled. I hope whoever did this gets the help they need."

    LGBT activist group Equality Utah condemned acts of vandalism in a lengthy statement and chided conservative "extremists" who "verbally harass our community and attack our liberties with harmful legislation."

    "We don't know the ideology of those who vandalized Sen. Kennedy's house," part of the statement read, according to FOX 13. "But we have repeatedly asked conservatives to call out extremists on their side, who verbally harass our community and attack our liberties with harmful legislation. In return, we now call out and condemn extremists who may identify with our side, who deploy tactics to intimidate and frighten political opponents," the group said. "The culture wars are now escalating into real-world violence, and we all have an obligation to take a stand and condemn extremism wherever it manifests - be it acts of vandalism, or political acts of violence."

    The Daily Wire has reached out to Sen. Kennedy for comment.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering what has happened to our Representative Republic since the corruptive orthodoxy that led to the tolerated abomination - The Russia Hoax - where felonies were perpetrated upon the American People by the creation of the Two Tiered Justice System, in the misnomer of "Social Justice:" Where do you stand on sustaining our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in a society where injustice is chronically sanctioned by one political orthodoxy?
  I believe in a perfected society by employing a higher governmental authority to train the behavior of the public.
  The United States Constitution does not allow just a few freedoms, it guarantees ALL freedoms promised to Humankind by God.
  Just don't take away my Social Media.
