Former Trump Official Calls for the Release of the Nashville Shooter Manifesto After FBI Arrests Oregon Transgender Woman Who Threatened to Kill ‘Trans Phobes’

Sebastian Gorka called for the release of the manifesto written by Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a transgender man who fatally shot three 9-year-old students and three faculty members at the Covenant School in Nashville last year after the FBI recently arrested an Oregon man for threatening to kill “trans phobic a*****s.”

Gorka, who served as the deputy assistant for former President Donald Trump, shared a post about the story of the Oregon man, adding, “Where’s the Nashville Transkiller’s manifesto[?] #TransTerrorism.”

Last week, the FBI arrested a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman for alleged threats against “trans phobic a*****es,” immigrants, African Americans, and Jews that were all posted to social media.

Elizabeth West, according to a federal affidavit filed on January 12, was initially reported to the FBI for a Facebook post threatening people where he worked.

On September 6, in the Facebook group “Trans Woman Support Group,” West made the following post with a photo attached showing two firearms on a bed:

Well, I wish I had better news to tell but what I’m writing to you right now is the fact that I’m at the end of my rope I’m probably gonna get fired from his job. I’m at supposed to be called into the office this morning so I wonder what lies are going to spew in order to justify firing me. I’m too old to keep looking for jobs and I’ve had it up to here being bullied by trans phobic assholes I am left with no alternative. I’ll probably have to go out in a blaze of glory. I’ve been preparing for this moment a long time at least then I’ll be remembered I have no family no friends … So there really isn’t any point living anymore? I’m just gonna have to do what I have to do and pray for the gods to forgive me.

West, according to the affidavit, is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder, and PTSD.

Yes, Every Kid

During the FBI’s investigation after the initial Facebook post was reported, the agency worked with a confidential human source (CHS) who was a close associate of West to provide information about his personal history.

The FBI learned from the CHS that West was arrested in 1993 for placing a shotgun in the mouth of her father and pulling the trigger, but the gun did not go off.

West also told the CHS that last year, during Christmas, he played “Russian Roulette” with himself.

“The CHS believes that West has the potential to kill others, and that West has access to weapons and lots of ammunition,” the FBI wrote in the affidavit.

While interviewing West on two separate occasions about the Facebook post, the suspect told the interviewing agents he was “lonely and felt suicidal in the past” and admitted to authoring the post.

West also said he was “upset” that he could not afford gender reassignment surgery as additional reasoning behind the post. The FBI wrote the following in the affidavit:

At the time of the aforementioned Facebook post that initiated this investigation, West explained she was upset because of an interaction she had with someone on Facebook. West had been communicating with a trans-woman who had moved from the UK to Oregon. This woman and her husband were building a cabin in the woods. The woman was on Oregon Health Plan (OHP), even though she and her husband had money, because their income was unreported. This woman told West about how she had gender reassignment surgery and didn’t have to pay anything out-of-pocket for it. This made West very upset, as she desperately wanted surgery but knew she would have to pay for it out-of-pocket.

During the interviews, the FBI also noted that West used the term “ni**er” when referring to people who are black and exhibited additional hatred towards immigrants and Jews:

West told the Agents that in 1990 she was assaulted by three black males, and it was this personal attack that set off a “personal prejudice” in West against black people. West also feels that black customer service agents’ mis-gender her intentionally. West’s boyfriend, who died in 2017, had a Nazi flag. After his death she found the flag and kept it. West has not sent images of herself with the Nazi flag to anyone. West has mixed feelings about Nazi sentiments. She is juxtaposed on the climate in Israel; West feels Jewish people treat Palestinians in the same manner as the Nazis treated the Jews. West is also angry that immigrants come to the United States and receive welfare and food stamps on her tax dollars, yet she is unable to access the same benefits. The agents informed West that it is her constitutional right to engage in the freedom of speech, but she cannot advocate for violence against individuals.

Following the interviews with the FBI agents, West went on to create an X account allegedly “full of hateful and violent rhetoric,” according to the affidavit.

Earlier this month, West was interviewed by another FBI agent and, during the interview, allegedly indicated he has multiple shotguns and AR-15s at his residence and that he is very familiar with the weapons as he used to go to a shooting range.

On January 9, the FBI executed a search warrant of West’s vehicle and residence, where agents recovered a total of 12 handguns and 16 rifles, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, firearm accessories, West’s “black shadow” journal, 48 drawings, and a black and white composition notebook containing notes made by the suspect.

The FBI agent cited in the affidavit said he believes there is “probable cause to believe West’s original Facebook posting constitutes an interstate threat, especially based on the accompanying photograph of firearms.”

“The fact that West’s original Facebook post states: “I’ve been preparing for this moment a long time…” is corroborated by West’s own journal entries and drawings,” the FBI agent added.

West was due in a Eugene, Oregon, court on Thursday, according to court documents.

This case comes just over two months after a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman in Illinois was charged with 14 felonies after allegedly threatening to shoot, rape, and infect children in school with HIV, as previously reported by The Tennessee Star.

The suspects in each case reflect similarities to that of the Nashville shooter, whose manifesto has yet to be released in full.

    With these mass shootings, there is one common denominator – Dangerous Meds that have been prescribed and hidden from the public.
    Too bad there is not a list available to the public of all the politicians and judges that are owned by Big Pharma and Wall Street.
    It should be a Federal Law that demands the list of Meds the shooter is on and the prescribing shrink.
    The Hill has known about these drugs ever since the phrase “Going Postal”. Politicians look the other way while holding their pockets open for gifts.
    Those that hide the nature of these dangerous Meds, have the blood of Americans on their hands!

    And we are supposed to believe this gender confusion is normal.

    This guy needs to be locked up and medicated. Society will be safer and he will be happier.
