Every day it seems a new thing drops on Matt Walsh. Now he’s talking about how adolescence is a “modern plague” and how we would be happier with forced dating against our will.

How many times do we learn that those calling lgbtq+ groomers are actually the groomers themselves. https://t.co/Qodl50o5k5
Look, all I’m saying is that if a teacher with blue hair said EXACTLY what Matt Walsh said about impregnating children, conservatives would not be splitting hairs about calling said teacher a pedophile.

TW CSA, pedophilia
— Alex (he/him) is still masked! (@AlexPetrovnia) October 7, 2022
I don't talk about it often, but I'm a survivor of CSA. It informs a lot of how I look at the world. For those shocked by Matt Walsh's comments around teenage girls, I guarantee you those views are more common than you'd think. 🧵
In the right, especially the far right, pedophilia is far from uncommon or unaccepted. The baseless accusations of pedophilia against the queer community seek to make pedophilia a dogwhistle for queerness.

Matt Walsh's response to the discovery of his pedophilic comments, where he says he "concedes nothing" and expresses no remorse, makes much more sense when you realize that he is fully aware of all of this. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he knows that he will be supported

Matt Walsh being a pedophile and a groomer is the most unsurprising thing. Like, a year ago he put out a video about why teaching children consent is bad, and kids who don’t want to be touched by adults are “bratty.”

To put it mildly, I am skeptical that Matt Walsh has the best interests of minors in his heart, or anywhere else https://t.co/s0qwikHPcU

Matt Walsh doesn't give a damn about children, especially if they're not white. He's happy to cheer on the use of asylum seeking children and families from Venezuela as political props. pic.twitter.com/H019kWE8AG

A final solution to gender non-conforming people, if you will. They're saying the quiet part loud: the goal isn't just to ban or drive out.
It's extermination.
Listen.https://t.co/kVv4oLC89F
Matt Walsh caught brazenly lying to feed his moral panic. There are 71 million people in the US under the age of 18. Only around a thousand trans youth a year start puberty blockers. That's 0.00661% of all youth. You could fit all trans youth on puberty blockers in a high school. https://t.co/QndU4ilFQb

Even by the standards of the right Matt Walsh is an extremist figure and it's a horrifying precedent that Spotify and Joe Rogan are comfortable platforming a stochastic terrorist that has a lifetime of defending pedophiles so he can spew hate speech for 3 hours

On Joe Rogan's podcast, Matt Walsh claims that "millions" of trans people are on puberty blockers, until a fact check suggests that the true number is less than a thousand per year.

In February 2023, Walsh brags about wanting to be crowned Transphobe of the Year.
They aren't being subtle. They want trans people eliminated. pic.twitter.com/sxn5pvFcyD

Matt Walsh employs violent, incendiary rhetoric to stir up moral panic against transgender people as he proclaims he’d rather die than have a trans child. pic.twitter.com/cSUxSFaZR5

I've run the polls, I've sat in the focus groups--Ari is exactly right. We've read them messaging from Matt and his friends and it repels far, far more people than it persuades. It's blatant, in-your-face bigotry. pic.twitter.com/ZKLgP3zotW

Imperdible es que América Rangel coincida en su ideología de odio transfóbico con Matt Walsh, apologista de violadores de niñes. No me sorprende, a Rangel no le interesa proteger a la niñez. pic.twitter.com/ci5nXcXcsu

In April 2023, Walsh approvingly retweeted a video of Ron DeSantis saying gender transition is "a lie" and no one should recognize a trans person's gender.
April 20, 2023: Matt Walsh saying it's cool that Elon Musk's rocket blew up because science works by trial and error. For whatever reason (sexism. patriarchy. transphobia.), he doesn't apply this wisdom to people's right to take hormones even if there's some uncertainty what they'll do to anyone's individual body.
The same day, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, resigned.
Regarding Walsh's favorite question "What is a woman?":
"Any attempt to define woman in a way that excludes trans and intersex women is not only futile, it’s inherently malicious. It doesn’t come from a place of following the evidence and understanding the science, nor from a place of wanting to end sexism, it is an attempted ad hoc justification for the premise 'trans women are men'. Trans women being women is a conclusion of the evidence, not a premise. Please don’t fall for it." — " Why What JK Rowling Said is Transphobic," Katy Montgomerie, Medium, June 7, 2020

Why Black Women Are Accused of Being “Manly” As an Insult (Aug 4, 2023)
This is still going on. In an August 15, 2024 interview:
“You know what, you know what’s disgusting to women is her disrespect of women,” [Nancy] Mace said. “She doesn’t know what a woman is. And 25 years ago—”
“White women don’t have the ability to tell Black women who paid the price of blood to make this country what it is to tell them they’re not real women,” [Michael Eric] Dyson said. (Ben Blanchet, HuffPost, Aug 16, 2024)
Intuition turns out to be complex. It isn't the same as knowing a dictionary definition, or else computers would be intelligent — heck, the dictionary would be intelligent.
The American Right have just lost their sixth court case in a row, trying to demonstrate that banning gender affirming care is constitutional, because their conspiracy theories, and crank "experts," tend not to stand up to legal scrutiny, so, of course, Matt Walsh tweets this. pic.twitter.com/JPzWElBoul

After Dell Cameron wrote this story for Wired — The Hacker Who Hijacked Matt Walsh’s Twitter Was Just ‘Bored’ The breach of the right-wing provocateur was simply a way of “stirring up some drama,” the attacker tells WIRED. But the damage could have been much worse. (April 19, 2023) — and tweeted it, Musk permanently suspended Cameron's Twitter account.
Feb 11, 2024: Reacting to a statement that "Jesus washed the feet of friends and enemies," Matt Walsh calls it "heretical bullshit."
Matt Walsh in late 2024, outside the U.S. v. Skrmetti oral arguments at the Supreme Court: “We are not gonna rest...until trans ideology is entirely erased from the earth. That’s what we’re fighting for, and we will not stop until we achieve it.”
Matt Walsh outside the Supreme Court: "This case is just the beginning of the fight. It is not the end. We are not gonna rest ... until trans ideology is entirely erased from the earth. That's what we're fighting for, and we will not stop until we achieve it."
