Noted transphobe and FOX "NEWS" personality Jonathan Turley blogged the following, "The company is being slammed for hiring a transgender artist, Erik Carnell, who is famous for his Satan-loving products, to create the line. Target is now down $9 billion."
That's not reality.
Janay Kingsberry explains in "Trans designer dumped by Target explains how he got smeared as Satanist" (WASHINGTON POST):
“For starters, I don’t believe in Satan,” he said. “If I believed in Satan, I’d have to believe in the Bible — and I consider myself an atheist.”
He is hardly the first person to embrace satanic imagery to make a political point. The U.S.-based Satanic Temple — largely a collection of atheists and humanists — towed an eight-foot sculpture of the horned deity Baphomet to the Arkansas Capitol building several years ago, to call attention to conservative attacks on the separation of church and state.
Carnell said he used satanic imagery in some of his art to subvert a homophobic narrative that queer people are sinful, evil or otherwise ungodly. “It’s no different to people reclaiming slurs and trying to remove the power from it to try and use it to benefit them.”
Why does George Washington University continue to allow Jonathan Turley to lie and to lie repeatedly? It's clear that the transphobe has no ethics -- that's why he plugs his other employer FOX "NEWS" on Twitter and on his blog without disclosing each time he plugs them that they pay him. He loves to lecture the Bidens about ethics but, when it comes to his own actions, he lives in an ethics-free zone.
The lie we quoted him on? We don't expect that THE NEW YORK POST would correct the error. We do think he should be made to correct the slander on his own website (he published the lie both at NYP and at his website).
P.S. As we've repeatedly pointed out -- and as CNN has noted (after us) -- the backlash against Bud Light includes the LGBTQ+ a community and their allies. Yet Jonathan wrote a column on May 29th, weeks after this was known, celebrating the success that conservatives and their boycott had. He never tells the truth and when some form of truth emerges in one of his bits of writing, it's a half=truth.
