Trans activist claims (now deleted) call to assassinate SCOTUS justices was just 'Gen Z/millennial humor'
June 29, 2022
'Do you live in a cave?'
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a transgender activist called for a "Supreme Court Assassination Challenge" on Twitter, according to screenshots captured of the now-deleted tweet.
Activist Eli Erlick, a founding member of Trans Student Educational Resources (TSER) and creator of the controversial "gender identity" teaching tool for children called the "Gender Unicorn," tweeted and later deleted the disturbing remark on Friday, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) also caught a screenshot of the tweet before it was deleted.
"The unhinged radical left is calling for the assassination of our Supreme Court Justices. That's not the way to disagree with a decision in America. It is unacceptable, and Biden’s DOJ must immediately act," Blackburn responded on Twitter.

Erlich then tried to play off her call to assassinate Supreme Court justices as a hilarious joke only Gen Z and Millennials would understand, apparently not understanding the seriousness of the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh just three weeks ago.
\u201c@MarshaBlackburn I\u2019m honored to be part of your fantasy of the \u201cunhinged left.\u201d You not understanding the most basic tenants of Gen Z/millennial humor makes a lot of sense, though. Also, remember when you rallied your followers to kill Mike Pence?\u201d— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@Sen. Marsha Blackburn) 1656122991
\u201c@EliErlick @MarshaBlackburn If it was a joke why did you delete it?\u201d— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@Sen. Marsha Blackburn) 1656122991
\u201c@EliErlick @MarshaBlackburn Do you live in a cave? Do you realize what came out of Jan 6th and the money, time, accusations, solitary confinement, etc. as a result? Maybe that was just humor? You can't have it both ways. Dig that hole deeper. Nobody believes your excuses.\u201d— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@Sen. Marsha Blackburn) 1656122991
Erlick isn't the only Left-winger to make incendiary calls since the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Here are just a few examples:
- Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) called on people to “defy" the Supreme Court.
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for people to get “into the streets” alongside radical communist leader who wants to 'overthrow' the American system.
- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) yelled "F*** Clarence Thomas" on a public stage for all to see and hear.
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested that Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh lied to Congress.
- And of course, "TheView" host Whoopi Goldberg issued a disgusting racist threat toward Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program, BlazeTV hosts Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere took a look at these and other stunning examples of leftist lunacy over the Supreme Court's decision to overturn
Roe v. Wade.
