Protester screams at TPUSA event with Riley Gaines at the University of Washington

Protesters attempted to sabotage a Tuesday event at the University of Washington with TPUSA contributor and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines.

The event, titled “The Fight is Far From Over” featured guest-speaker and fellow activist Olivia Krolczyk.

Outside of the event, a large group of protesters chanted “God is trans” along with several other unsavory combinations of LGBTQ and religious phrases. Many had signs depicting the same phrases.

A group of protesters wearing all black outfits and masks to conceal their identities created much disturbance at the event for as many attendees and police officers as they could. They used the epithet “transphobic” repeatedly and directed it at people leaving the event. Police officers were called pigs, and told to kill themselves as they escorted an injured woman walking with a cane to her car.

The protesters yelled the following at the woman, whom they focused on at length: 

“Have you thought about killing yourself today?” one of them yelled at her. “You disgusting transphobe… Kill yourself, pig!”

The woman was continually harassed with personal insults until she entered her car. 

“I hope you drop dead behind the wheel!” a protester yelled at the woman as she entered her car.

After the woman left, the protesters directed their harassment toward police officers. They insulted police with physical ad-hominems and accused them of being “mindless slaves to capitalism and fascism” and recipients of lobotomies.

TPUSA Frontlines Reporter Jonathan Choe was told by an event attendee that protesters were there to purposely disrupt the event. 

According to My Northwest, the event required “a heavy police presence” because on Monday, “masked activists took over a recently constructed building on campus, causing approximately $1 million in damage.”
