Nick Freitas reveals the real reason women are turning Lindsay Clancy into a martyr

While BlazeTV host Nick Freitas is disturbed by the vocal support for murder-trial defendant Lindsay Clancy — the Massachusetts nurse who killed her three children and is arguing postpartum psychosis as a defense — he isn’t necessarily shocked by it.

On this episode of “Making the Argument,” Freitas dissects the toxic cultural environment that’s responsible for making Lindsay Clancy into a martyr.

“How is it that so many women can have this overwhelming sympathy for Lindsay and appear to demonstrate what appears to me anyways to be very little sympathy for what those children were going through in the last moments of their lives?” Freitas asks.

His wife, Tina, helped him answer that question.

“Tina's thing was, ‘Well honey, we live in a culture now where women celebrate abortion through all nine months worth of pregnancy. We live in a culture right now where women are constantly told that men are the threat,”’ Freitas recounts.

Regarding the latter issue, Freitas highlights how a vocal faction of Clancy supporters are insisting that it was her then-husband, Patrick, who killed their children and then framed her.

This conspiracy theory, he argues, is a side effect of the cultural norm of “women [ramping] each other up about the danger and the threat that men are” — a toxic trend that often leads to men being unfairly villainized or scapegoated.

“It's not that it's an inappropriate question whenever something like this happens to question everybody associated with the event or the act,” says Freitas, “but it's the insistence that no, it must be the husband. ... The father must have done something. ... It can't be Lindsay — like that sort of insistence is cultural.”

“When you devalue human life, when you treat men like they are the enemy ... you shouldn't be surprised when people respond accordingly,” he adds, calling the situation “horrific” and “evil.”

Even though there is no evidence that Patrick had anything to do with the deaths of his three children, the faction accusing him of being the culprit continues to grow louder — and more accusatory. Freitas points out that this vocal group is quick to attack fellow women who are critical or skeptical of the agenda to absolve Clancy of wrongdoing.

This reveals another destructive cultural pattern: the tendency to treat truth as tribal rather than objective.

“The truth is defined by tribe. The truth is defined by what my side is. ... We can't just go where facts take us, especially when the facts take us to a point where Lindsay has to be accountable for her actions,” says Freitas.
