Sebastian Gorka Clashes With CNN Over Trans Shooter

While appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” White House senior director for counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka clashed with host Brianna Keilar in a heated discussion on mass shootings committed by transgender individuals.

“As you mentioned at the top of your monologue, we have the videos, we have the statements from the dead shooter that were clearly anti-Christian. Just as with the transgender attack on the Nashville Christian school in which more children were killed, there is an ideological connection to multiple of these attacks, where innocent children, especially Christians and Catholics, are targeted and that is very, very disturbing,” Gorka said.

Keilar went on to take issue with Gorka’s claim about trans shooters. “You know, 96 percent of attackers in — when you’re looking at the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, looking at 172 mass attacks in the U.S. between 2016 and 2020, 96 percent were non- trans men,” she said. “So I know you’re focusing on the shooter being trans. The shooter was trans, and that is certainly of note. But are you missing the bigger picture here when you zero in on that, instead of more broadly these school shooters as an epidemic, and you perhaps miss the through line that connects them all?”

Gorka responded by noting that the provided data set does not include gang crime and other shootings committed by criminals, which makes up the vast majority of gun crime. “So it’s like those who say gun violence in America causes so many deaths and then fail to note that the majority of the stats they are using refer to also suicides by gun, which, of course, is not what we are talking about here today,” he said.

“So let’s concentrate on mass shootings at schools, specifically Christian or Catholic schools. Then the data set is wholly different. So don’t conflate different data sets just to make a political point. There was an ideological content to this attack. That’s what terrorism is. It’s not because somebody didn’t get the drug deal they wanted. It is an ideological message.”

You cannot trust ANY crime stats from ANY blue area now as they have figured out how to manipulate things to make themselves look far better on paper than they actually are on the streets.

One does not ever try to debate Gorka, Ted Cruz or Stephen Miller, as they will chew you up and spit it out.

You cannot trust ANY crime stats from ANY blue area now as they have figured out how to manipulate things to make themselves look far better on paper than they actually are on the streets.

This has been going on for a long time. (Well over a decade, depending where you are.) A friend moved out of Denver shortly after they legalized weed, and the police pretty much stopped responding to property crimes short of GTA and Arson. Of course, crime stats fell, and that was used to bolster the arguments that the tax revenues from marijuana were a great thing (even if some 50% was still 'bootleg' deals), despite predictions that petit theft and even grand theft would increase. No one knows what really happened there because the numbers were gamed.
