Right Wing Watch 👀 Religious-right activist Mat Staver sent followers an email Saturday blaming Charlie Kirk’s murder on the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 pro-marriage-equality ruling in Obergefell.
Staver is founder and chairman of the anti-LGBTQ religious-right organization Liberty Counsel, which is pushing the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell.
Liberty Counsel represents Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who refused to allow her office to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the Supreme Court’s ruling. A federal court held her liable for damages in a suit brought by a couple she turned down, and an appeals court upheld that ruling. Liberty Counsel is using its latest appeal on her behalf to urge the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell altogether and strip same-sex couples of the right to marry.
Staver wrote in his fundraising email that “we are asking the Supreme Court to overturn the Obergefell ruling that abolished gender, and in doing so, created this entire mess — from Kim Davis’ persecution to Charle Kirk’s assassination.”

Five lawyers on the Supreme Court may have tried to abolish the historical and biological FACT of gender, via Obergefell, but the American public did not.
