On CNN, conservative contributors Scott Jennings and Margaret Hoover recently voiced support for the anti-LGBTQ account Libs of TikTok.
Libs of TikTok is a right-wing Twitter account run by Chaya Raichik that targets educators and businesses that support LGBTQ rights, inspiring harassment from followers. Raichik has expanded the Libs of TikTok brand to Facebook, Instagram, and a personal Substack account, though Facebook reportedly suspended the account for less than 24 hours last week after it led an anti-trans campaign against Boston Children’s Hospital.
On August 17, conservative political commentator Margaret Hoover boosted the account, saying that “gets traction because it's in response to, you know, a changing of the curriculum to diminish some of the core themes of American civics education and that is, that is actually a real thing.” Hoover went on to suggest parents are supportive of Libs of TikTok because their kids aren’t learning enough about the Constitution.
