By now, you likely have heard of LibsofTikTok and perhaps of Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the popular Twitter account.
She has been hugely influential, and as such she has been the target of a lot of hate from the Left.
A LOT of hate. As in accusing her of the vilest things, including “instigating bomb threats” according to NBC News.
A far-right influencer who was accused of instigating bomb threats last year against a school library in Tulsa has been named an adviser to a state library committee, the head of the Oklahoma State Department of Education says. https://t.co/joS0KS5Xfi

What is Chaya’s crime? Opposing the alphabet ideology.
Literally, that is her crime. That, and sharing what liberals say, which apparently is a no-no. I guess when people see exactly what liberals to it pisses them off, as it should.
Now let’s examine for a minute exactly what they are saying here in their lede. “Instigate” is a word that has a meaning, and NBC is hiding its own accusation that Chaya is a leader of a violent movement by using that term. So what does “instigate” mean, exactly?
“Bring about or initiate,” or “incite someone to do something.”
Essentially she is being accused in the lede of an NBC story of being a leader of a movement that uses bomb threats to intimidate.
This is, of course, absurd, but NBC can get away with it by slyly putting the accusation into a third party’s mouth. It is literally true that some people have said so, but it is similarly true that you can find someone to say almost anything. Choosing to make that the story gives it importance and credibility, implying that it is at least plausible and in this case, the sole focus of the story.
That is insane and defamatory. But no doubt they can get away with it because they are one step removed.
This is no different than writing a story focused on and giving credibility to the accusation that Jews use the blood of Christians to make their Matzo for Passover. It is true that some people make that accusation, and unless the story is about how ridiculous the accusation is, it furthers the blood libel.
In other words, what NBC is doing here is blatantly immoral but definitely on brand. They, after all, have a whole section of their news called NBC Out, which pushes alphabet ideology relentlessly.
I would argue that Chaya would sue, but I am sure lawyers have vetted the story to ensure that they stayed an inch away from the line of defamation.
These sorts of disgusting insinuations are par for the course for the Left, and the Anti-Defamation League goes even further than NBC.
They are trying to sic law enforcement on Raichik and other gender-critical figures as potential terrorists who are inciting attacks on LGBT people–attacks, by the way, for which there are no actual examples. The quickest check of crime statistics shows that the population of transgender people has one of the LOWEST rates of victimhood when it comes to violent crime.
Trans-“genocide” amounts to people using the wrong pronoun, not beating people up or killing them. These days being a drag queen or a trans person makes you high status.
HOLY SH*T. Newly unearthed email reveals the ADL urged a counterterrorism unit in Washington to investigate me, @MattWalshBlog, and @realchrisrufo for “anti-LGBTQ+ hate.”https://t.co/ZZLveiAJfk

Still, the ADL can both instigate and use ridiculous MSM stories to create a sense of menace about dissenters from alphabet ideology. Average people assume the MSM is telling the truth about what is in the books being discussed, what opponents of alphabet ideology are like and what they are doing, and slander opponents of the Narrative they are pushing.
Not only slander but also sic law enforcement on those they slander. The ADL is pushing the narrative that Raichik, Chris Rufo, and Matt Walsh are essentially terrorists.
This is a campaign of intimidation on their part, and slanderous articles like the NBC one help bolster the case.
Walsh and Rufo are clearly public figures, but Raichik tried to stay out of the spotlight. She only became a public figure when The Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz doxxed her–and she did so in order to make her a public figure and a legitimate target for the news media to slander her without consequence.
It’s disgusting. It’s immoral. Some of it should be, but isn’t, actionable.
And it is just how the Left rolls.
