Fox News Alum, Brian Glenn, Prods Trump To Remove LGBTQ+ Flags in D.C. – Suggests Using ‘Transtifa’ Designation

On Monday, Donald J. Trump fielded questions and proposals from a Real America’s Voice correspondent who stood with reporters in the Oval Office. Brian Glenn, boyfriend of Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, fixated on the notion that Pride flags might be removed from public streets in Washington, D.C. He had ideas on how to make that happen.

Glenn started by referencing “these trans shooters that we’ve seen over the last couple of incidents” and held up his phone for Trump to see a flag image, which appeared to be the LGBTQ Progress Pride flag, not the “trans flag” as Glenn incorrectly asserted. He said the flag was seen up and down 14th Street.

“A lot of people are very threatened by this flag,” the former Fox News anchor pushed. “It means a lot of different negative things to people, violence.”  

“Would you be opposed to taking these flags down up and down the streets of DC?” he asked.

“Well, I wouldn’t be,” Trump responded. “Then they’ll sue, and they’ll get freedom of speech stuff. So that’ll happen. But I would have no problem with it.” Trump then pivoted to topics of flag burning, free speech and incitement of violence (allegedly, people are “going crazy” burning American flags).

Trump suggested that rather than pursue Freedom of Speech angles, using “incitement of violence” might prove more effective for cleansing the undesirable.

“Well, there’s also, we call it ‘transtifa,’ Glenn pressed. “So perhaps if you can label them a domestic terrorist group, in all reality, you could take that flag down. It would represent the transtifa.” 

Trump replied, “I think you probably could. Again, you’ll be sued, and it’s okay. I’ve been sued before a couple of times, you might have seen.”

For the record, there is no evidence that “transtifa” is anything more than a concept created and perpetuated by individuals seeking to propagate anti-trans rhetoric. On the matter of baseless “Trans Terrorism” claims, GLAAD republished on Monday: “Accusing people from a small and vulnerable community of mass shooting crimes is an effort to further dehumanize, demonize, and promote fear about transgender and nonbinary people.”

It should also be noted that Trump didn’t latch on to Glenn’s suggestions for any length of time, despite the reporter’s persistence in steering the conversation in the direction of all things trans. While indicating that he’d like to see Pride flags removed, Trump did not say that he actually planned to undertake removal. 

At a minimum, Trump seems to be aware of this pesky little thing called The First Amendment (or in his words, “freedom of speech stuff”). 

The exchange can be seen in a Fox video on Twitter.

The Progress Pride flag Incorporates black and brown stripes to symbolize communities of color and their contribution to the movement; white, pink, and light blue colors represent the Trans community.
