You may have heard conservatives joke liberals and the media will label anyone they do not like a Nazi.
On Tuesday, the joke became a reality when a member of the Democratic so-called “Squad” did just that.
In a tweet, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) shared a portion of a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles.
“Michael Knowles is a Nazi hellbent on keeping only white men alive and in power,” Bowman wrote. “We cannot allow him and others to push their evil agenda and we must stand up for the transgender rights.”
He added, “CPAC has made one thing clear this year – they support a future run by Nazis like Knowles.”
During his speech, Knowles said, “There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is all or nothing. If transgenderism is true, if men can become women, then it’s true for everybody of all age.”
“If it is false, then for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology,” he added.
His comments quickly sparked a firestorm and led to some outlets misrepresenting his speech. Rolling Stone’s initial headline declared, “CPAC Speaker Calls for Transgender People to Be ‘Eradicated.'”
Were Knowles’ comments a little bombastic? That is an understatement. The word “eradicated” can evoke thoughts of genocide.
Yet that is not what he had in mind. His argument stems from his belief that the Left has been progressively pushing to restructure society, and it is not enough to simply stop the leftward drift. Instead, conservatives need to take back the culture and defeat the theories of progressives, not through battle or genocide, but through winning the debate and legislation.
