Moderate Democrats align themselves with 'No Hate' extremist group

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]I'm going to call them what they are.

[00:00:01]It's an extremist group. It is an extremist opinion to believe that girls should be forced to compete against boys to believe that girls should be forced to share spaces with fully intact boys, you know, as young as when they're as young as 13 and 14 in their locker rooms. It is an extremist opinion to believe that public schools should be able to hide information from your child about your child from you. Those are extremist opinions. So, No Hate in Washington State is an extremist group.

[00:00:29]This is an organization that was set up to oppose two of the Let's Go Washington initiatives. One, which if passed in November, will prevent biological boys from competing in girls sports. And the other one will once again restore the parental bill of rights, which says, you know, you send your kid to school, the school can't keep secrets from you about what's going on with your kid. If your kid is like, you know, expressing suicidal ideiation, if there's some sort of behavioral issue, or if your kid goes to school and they want to be referred to by a different gender and a different name. No, you don't get to keep that secret from parents and just assume that the parent can't handle that kind of information and is a horrible awful human being. So, this group is um also the group, by the way, that uh had involvement in the lawfare attacks against me that are ongoing with the PDC. And it's also the group that protested me and a few others outside an event in Snowish County holding a sign that said, "See you at Nermberg, fascist efers." So, this is the kind of group we're talking about here. They are holding a series of fundraisers to pad their pockets for the coming months in the fight against the two uh Let's Go Washington initiatives. So, this was sent out for an event in Olympia. It's happening today 5 to 7:00 p.m. at the bus stop in Olympia in case anybody wants to stop by and check it out. Right here is what just struck me. It says, "We invite you to an evening reception in support of no hate in Washington state. The first name on the list of featured guests, Denny Hec, the lieutenant governor of the state of Washington.

[00:02:06]I saw that and my heart sank. I voted for Denny Hec. I told all of you I voted for Denny Hec as a Democrat. I have a lot of respect for Denny Hec. He has been on our side in the free press fight. Uh because of him, I didn't have any issues getting press passes to the state senate this year, only the house.

[00:02:27]Uh he has a long track record of bipartisanship. He's just about one of the only Democrats in Olympia who even listen to anything that Republicans have to say. So to see him affiliated with a hate group is shocking to me. All the other names on the list, not shocking to me. not bothered by it at all. But Deniak, and I will say I'm I'm not going to disclose any personal conversations I might have, but I felt so strongly about it. I sent him an email this morning and just expressed my disappointment to him personally. And one of the things that bothers me is the name of the group, No Hate in Washington State, the name of the group he and others are affiliating themselves with.

[00:03:10]What is hate? What is hateful about wanting fairness for girls?

[00:03:16]A lot of the people who are speaking up about protecting girls sports are teenage girls who've lost opportunities, who've lost state titles. So, you're saying that if that's no hate, that they're hateful, that it's hateful for them to take the position that they shouldn't have to compete against biological boys. This isn't a movement driven by hate. It's a movement driven by truth and simple biology. And we don't get to just discard simple biological realities because it might make a couple people feel bad or for the sake of political expediency.

[00:03:50]And it's not hateful for parents, loving parents, to want to know what's happening with their kids at school. You know, they choose this name that that paints all of us as bigots. 80% of Americans agree with us on this issue. 80% of Americans, whether they're brave enough to say it publicly or not, agree that boys shouldn't compete against girls and men shouldn't compete against women at any level.

[00:04:15]So, you're saying what, 80% of Americans are hateful.

[00:04:20]Parents who signed the initiative to protect parental rights and all the Democrats in Olympia who passed it initially before gutting it are hateful.

[00:04:30]That makes no sense at all. incredibly disappointing that Denny Heg is lending his credibility to a movement that has attacked me personally with lawfare says we belong at we have should be tried for political disagreements like the Nazis were at Nuremberg and hung for our crimes and him being there is a slap in the face to these young girls who deserve better. It's not an anti-trans movement.

[00:04:56]Have you ever heard me get on here and attack the trans kids who are participating with the girls? We might cover instances where they participate, but it's not about going against the trans kids. This is about criticizing the adults, many of them men who have decided just to throw away fairness for girls for the sake of pleasing, you know, a farleft fringe group of people who wants us to pretend that biology doesn't exist. So, calling us hateful, no, you are the ones being hateful.

[00:05:34]A and and and just dismissing what these girls are going through is outrageous.

[00:05:38]There's another event also happening again another uh fundraiser for No Hate in Washington State. It is happening on the 30th. So what is that? Saturday.

[00:05:49]Saturday at the Clockout Lounge.

[00:05:53]Is that in Seattle? I think so. Clockout lounge. Yeah, in Seattle.

[00:06:00]And they're going to have a bunch of drag queens. I don't mind drag queens. I just don't want them in schools. I just don't want sexual drag performances in front of kids. And I don't know, is this closed to kids? Uh, the co-hosts are going to be Council Member Alexis Mercedes Rink, Seattle City Council member, Port Commissioner Toshiki Hagawa, and some other people you've probably never heard of, although Heather Weiner's on the list. And this is what I was trying to say when that front organization called uh Washingtonians for Ethical Government filed a PDC complaint against me and Let's Go Washington accusing me of providing $1.5 million in political free political advertising for them. I said that that this isn't Washingtonians for ethical government. This is that group No Hate in Washington State. They're just they're just couching it under the name of this other organization to make it sound legitimate. Heather Weiner is one of the principles of Powerhouse Strategic, the political messaging firm that is in charge of No Hate in Washington State and also was in charge of the press conference for Washingtonians for Ethical Government, accusing us of violating campaign finance laws. And she's going to be at this event because she represents both of them because she's at the center of all of this. So, I think Jonathan Cho should head to one of these events and ask Heather Weiner and some folks some questions. Yes. I don't know.

[00:07:19]>> What's interesting, too, is that they get mad at us just because we're gathering signatures and they're mad that somebody that's rich is using his money to gather signatures from people >> and they come out and they harass and they Yes.

[00:07:31]>> Right. But then they come out and it's all about money. Give us money. Give us money. Going to give give us money because we need to fight these people who are legally gathering signatures.

[00:07:42]>> You can have your little campaign. Can you go back to the very first one quick because I do think that that brings up an important point. paid for by No Hate in Washington State. The top five contributors, ACLU of Washington, the American Civil Liberties Union, they don't care about the civil liberties of girls and women. They don't care about the civil liberties of parents. They have just become a leftist front. And then the Washington Education Association because the teachers union wants to wants teachers to be able to keep secrets from you. God, if you are a teacher and you are still paying dues to the WA at this point, what's wrong with you at this point? What is actually wrong with you? SEIU, the Gender Justice League and Pro-Choice Washington, which what does pro-choice Washington have to do with anything?

[00:08:28]Probably because they want kids to be able to get abortions at school in these little No, I'm serious. in these little things that they're setting up and they don't want parents to know about it.

[00:08:37]It's just outrageous.
