In a second statement, Pelosi had more to say about “MAGA Republicans” and blamed them for violent attacks, such as the one at Club Q aimed against the LGBT population. Pelosi stated, “That fight remains more urgent than ever, as right-wing extremists target transgender Americans’ most fundamental rights and freedoms.”

A statement by Denver Democrats said, “There’s a clear link between these kinds of attacks and extremists’ blatantly false and hateful rhetoric about the LGBTQ community. We’ve seen an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ bills - nearly 300 just this year - which are rooted in archaic and ugly ideologies that only seek to sow more division and traumatize a group of people who simply want the same rights as everyone else.”

A comment by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “After Trump elevated anti-immigrant and anti-Latino rhetoric, we had the deadliest anti-Latino shooting in modern history. After anti-Asian hate w/Covid, Atlanta. Tree of Life. Emanuel AME. Buffalo. And now, after an anti-LGBT+ campaign, Colorado Springs. Connect the dots.”
