You're right, I'm absolutely going to say it doesn't count.
Doesn't it say it right in the article itself? "Knowles subsequently claimed that it...is not a call for eradicating transgender people."
So you are conflating getting rid of the concept of transgenderism with murdering transgender people? You guys love doing this.
Let's go back to your original quote:
It was not said. Michael Knowles is a speaker at CPAC, and a Daily Wire host. Not a member of the Trump admin.
My original comment was removed for misinformation, but I won't be surprised that yours won't.
I was downvoted 11 times just for asking you for a quote that doesn't exist.
I knew you'd find all sorts of reasons why one of them saying the quiet part out loud doesn't count, including believing him when he said he wasn't calling for genocide despite the article very clearly explaining why he was.
And when trans people are loaded onto boxcars, you'll still be there denying it.
I'd hate to know what you would have been like in the 1940s.
Well maybe if Trans people are using Ubers to go protest and you say that it means they're being put in boxcars to get sent to concentration camps to be exterminated by modern nazis I'll disagree with you then as well.
What are you even talking about?
