The Right MELTS DOWN Over “Libs Of TikTok” Owner Being Exposed

taylor lorenz from the washington post revealed the identity of the individual behind the account libs of tick tock and that led to right wingers completely melting down and i want to give you examples of people who are upset what their arguments are and then we're going to debunk a lot of them um first just to remind you all of what libs of tick tock is all about uh let's go to graphic 11 here her anti-trans tweets went especially viral she called on her followers to contact schools that were allowing boys in the girls bathrooms and pushed the false conspiracy theory that schools were installing litter boxes and bathrooms for children who identify as cats she also purported that adults who teach children about lgbtq plus identities are abusive that being gender non-conforming or an ally to the lgbtq community was a mental illness and referred to schools as government-run indoctrination camps for the lgbtq plus community now the woman behind it uh was basically anonymous until taylor lorenz reported on this story and revealed her identity her name is chaya raychik now her revealing the identity of the person behind the account is what has led to right wingers like glenn greenwald completely melting down about it he writes this taylor lorenz is about to expose the private citizen behind some anonymous account on twitter and when people criticize her for it she and her friends will claim taylor is the real victim and anyone criticizing this type of journalist will be guilty of causing her trauma so taylor lorenz opened up about what it's like to be a female reporter in an industry that is not friendly to female reporters to whine about anyone talking about their lived experience is so pathetic and weak but that's who glenn greenwald is a terminally online pathetic little clown who went from being a pretty impressive reporter to being someone who we literally dunk on both on air and off the air because how could you not but i do want to also go to something interesting about glenn greenwald let's go to graphics 16 here matt binder made sure to emphasize a part of her reporting taylor lorenz's reporting it's really relevant to glenn greenwald all of the info in the libs of tiktok piece was already publicly available online but taylor had one thing that no one else had which made the report possible glenn greenwald accidentally confirming her identity and the excerpt let's keep that tweet up says this when a reporter called the phone number registered to raychik's real estate profile and lib libs of tick tock dot us the woman who answered hung up after the reporter identified herself and then later she writes that on monday night a tweet from glenn greenwald confirmed the house that was visited belonged to raychek's family oops i also wanted to add this delicious tweet from glenn from september 12th of 2020. it's amazing it's not that long ago and it shows you how much he's changed uh so alex i'm sorry uh this tweet says the following i don't mind admitting that i find anonymous cowards who spread lies on the internet repulsive why wouldn't i it's an insecure scared petty inconsequential way of living oops interesting okay now all of a sudden he says how dare you out anyone who's anonymous online i'm a flutter with it oh my god i'm so outraged yeah sure you are glenn god you've become such a pathetic liar and it's so obvious so this is real life consequences so this lunatic uh chaya rajcik raichik um let me repeat that her name is chaya raichik okay by the way don't go to her house you're not a reporter okay and don't uh do anything in the in the in the real world physical to anyone we're on the left we're progressives we actually believe in decency and morality unlike the right wing okay i'm telling you who she is because of what she's doing online you don't get to hide behind your hood while you go and attack gay people left and right and try to get anyone who's decent to gay people fired right okay so now so all we're doing is taking our hood off that's it um uh now uh she has the crazy conspiracy theory that anna told you many of them and we talked about it earlier in the show too some q anon like uh conspiracies and it's uh uh and of course the election was stolen and of course covid conspiracy theories etc but look at the litter box one that anna just mentioned okay so the kids are dressing up as furries and they're defecating in the middle of the school and that's why they had to bring in litter boxes we've done stories where several different different school districts had to put out statements saying please stop attacking us yeah there are no kids actually dressed up as cats there are no litter boxes in the schools it's total insanity it's not at all true now now glenn greenwald is coming around and saying oh no no being anonymous while you spread insane conspiracy theory is like that that's awesome that's free speech baby parents were showing up to school board meetings and they were hysterical okay they were terrified that their children were being offered litter boxes to defecate in because the school was trying to be accommodating to furries why did they think that oh it turns out the origin of that nonsense was libs of tick tock and they're no sorry jake and i just love the defenders of that account like what what i mean she's she's just reposting what libs are putting up on on social media a that's not true she's specifically framing them as dangerous nefarious individuals who are grooming your children clearly she's posting things that are lies like the litter box nonsense and then more importantly listen media matters literally just takes video clips of what right-wingers are saying they post it and the reporters the people who work at media matters they're not anonymous they're they're literally just taking the content reposting it on their site and the reason why they're not hiding their identities is because they're doing nothing wrong they're not taking people out of context they're not defaming individuals they don't have to worry about lawsuits because they're not defaming individuals but this individual right chaya raichik she is defaming individuals she knows what she's doing that's why she wanted to remain anonymous she wanted to go out of her way to get people fired to destroy people's lives take away their livelihood with no repercussions no consequences whatsoever and now you have a reporter like taylor lorenz who had the courage the balls and also the uh journalistic integrity to do her job appropriately and report on this story and the right wing is not used to anyone fighting back against them effectively that is why they're having this simultaneous meltdown and that is why i'm i'm in a great mood today i love to see it i love to see them cope like the little babies that they are in fact jake why don't we take a little trip to the copium den so we can view it all for ourselves and really enjoy this moment the pull book is completely off what was it called by oh my goodness all the networks dumps they call them dumps big massive dumps [Music] another person in the copium den is megan mccain taylor lorenz is knocking on doors of relatives and trying to dox anonymous figures from twitter but will cry on tv about being harassed i mean you megan no one cried on tv more than you did i'm the only conservative on the view it's not fair are you really gonna call her out for crying on air anyway is she a sociopath this right here is why the vast majority of american public hates the press no megan you're a sociopath you you think there's uh kids dressing up as uh furries in schools there's litter boxes you think uh there's child molestation and drinking of blood of children you think all that lunatic stuff and you think that this lives or tick tock is some sort of hero to you if you think that she's some sort of a journalistic hero and taylor lorenz is the bad guy for pointing out who she is you're the sociopath so look there's other parts of this too that literal state legislators have gone around with that litter box theory okay they've done speeches like we've got to protect again from the litter boxes because the right wing has lost their minds right and so what about the school officials that got attacked based on the lies from libs of tiktok no but they love it they love it wait you you don't seem concerned about them being outed no because and they didn't even do anything wrong you just made up she just made up stuff about them they love it what happened to all the trump administration officials who uh were trying to out the person who wrote that anonymous op-ed about trump remember that oh yeah yeah yeah i mean there was a lot of that going on but i didn't hear anyone on the right who's currently having a meltdown worry about that at all and in regard to taylor lorenz showing up at people's houses listen maybe you don't know anything about journalism and that's fine if that's not a the industry you work in the field of work you do that's totally fine it is a common practice it is a widely used practice it happens all the time now megan mccain wouldn't know that because she was never a journalist and only received uh media offers because she happened to be the daughter of a late senator clearly her on-air commentary was not compelling or interesting or unique uh she didn't get those jobs based on merit and clearly she didn't get those jobs based on journalistic knowledge or integrity but putting that aside okay if people find that a little off-putting oh journalists showing up at people's houses uh to learn more about these stories um i want to go to alex alex thompson's tweet here because he's absolutely right he's a reporter over at politico who says showing up at people's homes is standard journalism that more reporters should do like half of all the president's men is woodstein showing up at people's homes and let me also remind you that fox news used to have someone dubbed the ambush guy and that person still works at fox news his name is jesse waters in fact uh jesse waters bragged about ambushing people in their homes all the time he put a compilation video together for it here's a little snippet from that compilation video do you regret verbally abusing ivanka trump on the plane you harassed a woman with her baby on a flight are you proud of that real class act aren't you now you're afraid to show your face i'm giving you an opportunity to apologize sir nothing to say that was just a person who said something that wasn't polite to ivanka trump an incredibly powerful person on a commercial flight uh he also creepily followed huffington post reporter amanda turkle around when she was on vacation with her family but the right wing didn't care about that that was totally fine it's the ambush guy it's the ambush guy that's totally okay was he going to deflate amanda's tires uh because he's also a creepy stalker who apparently that's his idea of getting a date um he just said that last night on his show um so he also showed where that guy lives yep okay uh taylor lorenz didn't do that you did that jesse waters when they do it but again but it's the ambush guy yeah the right wing doesn't date guys i've got to stop trying to make sense of it or trying to talk to them because they don't care about logic or reason they just don't when jesse waters does it they love it if they could they'd go inside that house they'd show the address they'd terrorize that person uh non-stop in fact a lot of the victims of of uh chaya raichik have gotten death threats and been harassed and the right wing loves it they love it right and then when you say oh by the way the person doing it is this person i can't believe you out of someone who was anonymous even after glenn greenwald just two years ago that tweets not from 20 years ago that was from two years ago when he was like oh anonymous people should all be outed now he's like oh my god it's the biggest crime there is you're just so pathetic all of you uh and so i want to go back to something that just happened state senator mallory mccarro in in michigan gave an impassioned speech finally fighting back it was so good to see a democrat fight back for like the first time ever right uh and why because uh lunatic republican state senator lana theis had said uh that that the fellow state senator had quote put our children in danger and uh and that mcmorrow was outraged that they can't teach uh they can't groom and sexualize kindergarteners or that eight-year-olds are responsible for slavery do you guys now get it uh the way that she intentionally framed people uh as groomers as people who want to groom children so it's not the same as what media matters does where they just repost right wing content to make a point about what right wingers are saying she specifically would frame people as these dangerous nefarious individuals who should lose their livelihoods simply because of who they are as members of the lgbtq community and honestly one other thing i just want to say and then i'll i'll end it in terms of my commentary the members of the left and yes i'm calling out media members on the left specifically online media people who have decided that they'd rather pander to right wingers who do not share our values and certainly don't give a damn about unions they don't give a damn about economic justice they don't give a damn about ensuring that workplaces are better for the ordinary american worker they'd rather pander to those clowns by just minimizing these kinds of stories minimize minimize they're uncomfortable with the lgbtq community we don't want to make them uncomfortable yes we want to make them uncomfortable they're not our allies they're not our allies because guess what a work environment that fires people for who they are because of their identities because of the fact that they're part of the lgbtq community that's not a workplace i want to support that's not a good working condition that i would be in favor of and these clowns it's look it's about you appealing to the right wing it's not at all about fighting for economic justice i just want to call that out i don't need to name names everyone knows who i'm talking about okay so my last thing is now it has spread from libs of tick tock and other social media influencers and laura ingram and tucker carlson to actual republican legislators like the ones that i atlanta theist that i just told you about and she's accusing other state legislators of being groomers for pedophilia with no evidence of course just lunatic really dangerous stuff and mainly because they say yeah it's okay to say in school that someone is gay or or that gay people exist and now you get called a groomer for that right so no we're going to fight back against that i love that senator mcmorrow gave a speech about it and said no you don't get to call me that and i and i don't fight back and the reason i'm mentioning that is twofold one is lib's a tick-tock isn't just like oh some poor innocent babe in the woods oh i was just sitting here sending out flowers and roses and rainbows when all of a sudden i was outed by the evil taylor lorenz no she's a despicable person spreading hate throughout the country but the second reason is to anna's point democrats people on the left will you for god's sake stand up stand up the fascists are already here okay so and just fight back man and and fight back with principles with journalism with integrity uh but don't just sit in a corner afraid that they're gonna attack you next on social media that's exactly how the fascists win no it's amazing like again this will be the final thing i say your posts pump puffing your chest up as if you're like the next che guevara is pathetic when you cower the second the right wing decides to come after the left i'm not here for it okay don't be posing as some sort of revolutionary if you're going to cower in the face of the worst individuals who want to further disenfranchise the powerless in this country you ain't no revolutionary you're a joke
