"Kill those kids!!! Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertables [sic.]." These are some of the hateful phrases written in a manifesto by Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter who carried out the massacre at the Christian elementary school The Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn., on March 27.
Podcaster Steven Crowder shared three photographs of Hale's message on his website and X account (formerly Twitter). In addition, he posted a screenshot of the message he received on Facebook to censor his post.
