Right Wing Racist Threatens To Hunt Gays During Pride: ‘You’re Not Safe’

Share

Right wing racist Phoenix, Arizona resident Ethan Schmidt says LGBT folks aren’t safe this pride season and that he’s going to be hunting us.

The 24 year-old tubby, who looks like literally every guy who wants to suck my cock, is in a video on Twitter where he explained that, during June, he plans on “exposing” the “Satanic Pride shrines for children” and LGBTQ-supportive employees at Target retail stores.

“We’re not going to let corporate poison the children,” Schmidt adds. “So Target, we’re just giving you a heads up that we’re going to be coming after you hard…. This is going to be next-level stuff.”

Schmidt speaks while riding in a vehicle alongside a man in sunglasses named Kyle Clifton. Clifton has described himself as an “authoritarian Christian nationalist,” according to The Los Angeles Blade. He also leads the America First Union, an openly white nationalist, antisemitic, “conservative youth” organization.

In the video, Clifton then looks at the camera and says, “Christ wins. LGBT loses.”

“I also like to hunt LGBT supporters on my free time. That’s one of my favorite pastimes…. We’re going to be going on hunting expeditions pretty soon, y’know, hunting LGBT supporters across Phoenix and Arizona…. If you support the LGBT agenda, you’re not safe. You’re not safe. Right, Kyle?”

Clifton agrees and Schmidt laughs. Clifton then says, “Ethan finds you. Ethan finds everyone.”

“Yep. Can’t hide from me,” Schmidt says.

In a late 2021 video endorsing Arizona Gov. Kari Lake (R), Schmidt burned a rainbow Pride flag. His promise to hunt down LGBTQ supporters and his equating of them with pedophilia are similar to Russian anti-LGBTQ vigilantes who recorded videos of physically threatening and humiliating queer people.

Schmidt has also appeared in an anti-vaccination video with Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and another video with Arizona State Sen. Wendy Rogers (R). Rogers was censured by her Republican congressional colleagues in March for speaking at the America First Political Action Conference, an event organized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes is a self-described involuntary celibate who recently told his straight male viewers that “having sex with women is gay.”

Fuentes, Rogers, and Clifton have all repeated the white supremacist “replacement theory,” which states that white voters are being replaced by non-white people. This increasingly mainstream Republican theory was cited by a mass shooter who recently gunned down Black shoppers in a Buffalo, New York supermarket.
