Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of the conservative blog RedState, said on Thursday that Americas acceptance of transgender people was creating an inability to discuss the evil that led to the Charleston, S.C. shootings.
Ericksons comments, made on his radio show, The Erick Erickson Show, and in a blog post on RedState, addressed the Wednesday shooting that left nine people dead at a historic black church.
Erickson related the tragedy perpetrated by the crazy and evil white gunman, identified by authorities as Dylann Roof, to former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who recently came out as a transgender woman. Erickson lamented that we couldnt have a conversation about mental health and evil because of societys acceptance of Jenner.
We cant have the conversations we need to have in this country about mental health and evil, Erickson said. We cannot have those conversations. It is impossible to have conversations like that in a society that can look at a 65-year-old male Olympian and say Hey, hes a girl now. We have to start calling him Caitlyn.

A horrible nightmare that just won't end.
