Former Department of Homeland Security Senior Advisor Charles Marino issued a stark warning about the transgender community and said what we are seeing is that it’s “becoming more and more violent” to silence “opinions they don’t like.”
During his appearance on Monday on Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus,” the host Harris Faulkner spoke with Marino about the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and asked him to react to the news that the FBI was investigating possible ties between leftist groups and the suspect in custody, Tyler Robinson, for the murder of Kirk. Authorities have said that Robinson was influenced by leftist ideology.

Well said @Charles__Marino there is a campaign to silence any criticism of transgender community. All you have to do is take a look on nextdoor or your local area’s facebook groups. Conservative voices and opinions are silenced. pic.twitter.com/rjiePTEB0p

“Well, right now with this suspect, we are starting to zero in on the transgender community,” Marino said. “And what we have in that community is when the left tells that community that the right is to blame for every single aspect of their life when something goes wrong. Or something is interpreted as going wrong for them, that’s a very bad place.”
“And on top of that, we’re told that in the areas of opinions, people should not have differing opinions in this country,” he added. “That people should be allowed not to express them. And that they can be silenced. Now, the dangerous thing here with the transgender community is the way they are moving to silence opinions.”
“It is becoming more and more violent,” Marino continued. “And we’ve got to pay attention to the underlying theme of mental health. We can’t ignore that. Look, if we are going to solve this problem, let’s call it what it is. Let’s diagnose it right. And let’s move to fix it …but there is a serious problem here. The left is responsible for it.”

Marino’s comments come on the same day Vice President JD Vance appeared as a guest host on “The Charlie Kirk” show on Monday and said there can be “no unity” with people on the left who have celebrated the murder of Kirk or who have excused it with lies about him, as RedState reported.
“It is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left,” Vance said. “We can thank God that most Democrats don’t share these attitudes, and I do. While acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with the lunatic fringe, a minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far left.”
🚨 JD VANCE just WENT OFF on people who are calling for “UNITY” with radical leftists
“There is NO UNITY with people who scream at children over their parents’ politics.
There is NO UNITY with someone who LIES about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder.

“There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents’ politics,” he added, referencing what happened to him and his family at Disneyland. “There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family lost a dear friend.”
“There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” the VP continued. “And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers. Who argue that Charlie Kirk….deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagree.”
Marino’s comments really struck a chord. Given his law enforcement expertise, he’s pointing out a growing, disturbing trend in the trans community. And that is, they are becoming more violent in an effort to stop people from saying things that do not affirm the lies the radical left has been feeding them.
