On March 27, 2023, Audrey Hale shot up The Covenant School, a private Christian grade school in Tennessee, murdering three students and three adults. It didn’t take long for authorities to confirm two key details of the shooting: Hale was a trans-identifying female, and she had a manifesto.
“We have a manifesto,” Nashville Police Chief John Drake confirmed on the day of the shooting. “We have a map of how all of this was going to play out.”
Since then, the manifesto and its contents have eluded us. As time passed, it became clear that authorities didn’t want the public to see the manifesto, as it was never released. This caused widespread speculation that Hale’s transgender identity may have played a role in her targeting the school.
On Monday, portions of Hale’s purported manifesto were leaked and posted on social media by Steven Crowder. They have reportedly been authenticated.
The manifesto includes rants about a "Death Day" and anti-white rhetoric describing the shooter's potential victims. The photos of the manifesto appear to have been taken on location after the shooting--there is a police vehicle in the background, and a gloved individual is holding the notebook.
One particular page struck me as curious. It is dated February 3, 2023, more than a month before the shooting.

Perhaps this page with anti-white rhetoric is the real reason authorities never released the manifesto. Think about it. Here you have a white girl who has clearly been radicalized by anti-white rhetoric, ranting about white privilege and using anti-white slurs. Could she have been radicalized by Joe Biden’s incessant harping on white supremacy, systemic racism, and white privilege?
Holy sh*t! It’s possible Biden radicalized the trans Nashville shooter to hate white people with all his rhetoric around “white supremacy.” This would make Biden a stochastic terrorist according to the Left’s rules. Wow https://t.co/INJ0WGISuT

While I’m hesitant to say Joe Biden specifically and unilaterally radicalized Hale, there is no doubt in my mind that Biden has contributed to the popularization of anti-white rhetoric. He has repeatedly sought to compensate for his own whiteness. The links between trans-identification and other forms of mental illness have been documented in the past, and it’s easy to see how Joe Biden’s rhetoric could have contributed to Hale’s radicalization, much in the same way that Barack Obama’s anti-police rhetoric paved the way for the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police movements. We might never know exactly what contributed to Hale’s radicalization, but I dare say Joe Biden’s rhetoric didn’t help.
