#Tom Woods

[geezerwench]

Oklahoma state senator Tom Woods, "We don't want that filth in our state."

Nex Benedict was killed by classmates and none of the people in charge of "protecting the children" cares. I guess only certain children count. Not ALL children.

Nex Benedict doesn't get to grow up because of people like Tom Woods.

Senator Tom Woods

2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Rm. 529.2

Oklahoma City, OK 73105

Senator Tom Woods grew up in Westville, Oklahoma, and was elected to the Oklahoma Senate in 2022. He proudly represents the citizens of Senate District 4, which includes Adair County and parts of Delaware, Sequoyah and Cherokee Counties.

Woods was raised on a dairy farm and graduated from Westville Public Schools. His grandparents are both retired educators, and his father worked in a factory while his mother stayed at home to work on the farm and raise his six brothers and sisters.

Tom’s family taught him the value of hard work from a very young age as he was given his first dairy cow at the age of 12, in exchange for milking cows on his parent’s dairy. He remained dedicated to his business and had 30 dairy cows by the time he was 18.

He now operates a feed store, trucking company, and a commercial cow/calf operation with 200 cows.  Through hard work and commitment, Woods believes we must build up future generations to be active contributors and producers in society, not just consumers.

Oklahoma is not exactly a friendly place for LGBTQ+ Americans. Though some residents are pushing back against the culture of hatred.

Dozens of students at an Oklahoma high school walked out in a peaceful demonstration on Monday to show support for the LGBTQ+ community after the death of a non-binary teenager following a fight in a school bathroom in which they said they were a target of bullying. Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old student who identified as non-binary and used they/them pronouns, died on 8 February after a “physical altercation” with classmates in the bathroom of Owasso high school, according to local law enforcement. Body camera footage later released by police showed Benedict describing the altercation with three girls who were picking on them and some friends. At least 40 students at Owasso high school walked out to protest what they described as a pervasive culture of bullying with little accountability, NBC reported. “I just want to get the word out and show these kids that we’re here,” Cassidy Brown, a Owasso graduate and organizer of the demonstration, told KTUL. “There is a community here in this city that does exist, and we see them, and they are loved.” Vigils have been held in honor of Benedict across Oklahoma and the country, including on Sunday night when hundreds gathered at Redbud Festival Park in Owasso for the teen. Many of the gatherings were organized by LGBTQ+ groups to protest against the frequent bullying suffered by nonbinary teens. “Our children are scared to death and go to school every day, and something has to stop,” one Owasso parent, Susie Eubank, said. “My child has had direct threats. Direct derogatory names.”

The Oklahoma state government is completely controlled by Republicans. On a federal level, both of Oklahoma's US senators and all five of its US House members are Republicans.

One GOP Oklahoma state senator is trying to outdo Trump's "vermin" talk and Ron DeSantis's "don't say gay" persecutions.

State senator 'stands by' beliefs after calling LGBTQ+ Oklahomans 'filth'

Days after calling LGBTQ+ Oklahomans "filth," a state senator issued a statement on his comments, saying he stands by what he said. State Sen. Tom Woods is facing growing public outcry and even scrutiny from those within his own Republican Party. Senate leadership called Woods' comments "reprehensible" and "horrifying." But the state senator from eastern Oklahoma has not apologized and appears to be doubling down. “We are a Republican state – supermajority – in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma," Woods said, referring to the LGBTQ+ community during a public event last week. The comments came after an audience member asked Woods about legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community. The audio was recorded by the Tahlequah Daily Press. "We are a religious state, and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma, because we are a Christian state. We are a moral state," Woods said.

Yep. Tom Woods defends his extreme homophobic hate speech by referring to Oklahoma as a "Republican state" and a "Christian state". Allowing Republicans to get elected by failing to vote or by wasting votes on third parties empowers hatemongers like Tom Woods.

This is Oklahoma State Senate District 4. It sits along the state's eastern border. It looks like there's not a single notable town in the entire district. Does a tiny suburb of Fort Smith, Arkansas count?

It would probably be difficult to defeat an asshole like Woods in such a district. But electing Democrats in more swing districts would reduce the influence of politicians like Woods.

Look up who represents you in your state legislature – regardless of state. If it's a MAGA Republican extremist, contact your county or state Democratic Party to find out what you can do to help retire the individual.

Find Your Legislators Look your legislators up by address or use your current location.

Demand the Resignation of Representative Tom Woods for Homophobic Remarks

I am deeply disturbed and frightened by the public remarks made by our representative, Tom Woods. His derogatory comments labeling LGBTQ individuals as "filth" have not only caused emotional harm but also foster a hostile environment that threatens our safety. This issue became tragically personal when Nex Benedict, a nonbinary 16-year-old student in Owasso public schools, was killed in a hate crime.

This incident is not isolated. According to the FBI's 2019 Hate Crime Statistics report, hate crimes based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity accounted for nearly 20% of all reported hate crimes in the United States (FBI.gov) despite making up just 7% of the population. It is unacceptable that such prejudice exists within our society and even more so within our leadership.

Tom Woods' harmful rhetoric contributes to this climate of fear and intolerance. His words are not just offensive; they are dangerous and incite violence against vulnerable communities like ours.

We demand his immediate resignation from his position as representative. We deserve leaders who will stand up for all citizens regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Please sign this petition to show your support for equality and respect for all Oklahomans. Together we can send a clear message that bigotry has no place in our state's leadership or anywhere else.

We asked Tom his thoughts on RFKJr and if we should support him like we did Ron Paul. We then discussed Democratically ran cities, the solution to police violence that no one is talking about and the "fact-checking industrial complex."

Also tomwoods.com The Tom Woods Show, is NOT Senator Tom Woods

Absolutely evil beyond words. When asked about the murder of Nex Benedict here is how the state's senator responds, calling them filth that needs to be kept out of the state, while audience member's cheer.

These monsters not only don't care that a child was murdered because of their hatred, they outright celebrate it. Christian's are soulless monsters, when are we gonna get the chance to vote to strip their right to exist away from them, like they do to us? Why do we allow these hate filled cultists to have power in the government and spread their murderous hatred.

This is why the school never called an ambulance for Nex instead just suspending them, this is why the coroner and police are currently trying to cover up the murder, because the whole goddamn system is working exactly as they intended, accomplishing their goals of murdering us and getting away with it.

I am outraged! #Oklahoma Republican State Senator Tom Woods called #lgbtq people “filth” in response to a child's death. Woods said, “We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state.” Separation of church and state?

Woods is not acting Christ-like. Woods has got to go!

[pledging]

Tom Woods was schooled by Educational Outreach Programs (EOP) for RexCurry.Net. In the past, Tom had a bad habit of referring to Hitler’s group as "Nazis" and "Fascists" (and he would never mention that they self-identified as "SOCIALISTS"). Woods was unaware that Hitler never referred to his movement as "Nazism" nor "Fascism" (and that Hitler always identified his group as SOCIALIST). Then the EOP communicated discreetly with him about his misleading posts and interviews. Woods was not happy. He persisted in his bad habits; so the EOP began publicly pointing out his ignorance about Hitler’s lexicon. He was not happy even more. To this day he has never said "Hitler DID NOT refer to his movement as 'Nazism' nor 'Fascism' and Hitler in fact referred to it as 'SOCIALIST' in voluminous writings and speeches." This also means that he will never discuss how Soviet SOCIALISM joined German SOCIALISM to start WW2, invading Poland together, and going onward from there, in a secret conspiracy to spread INTERNATIONAL WORLD SOCIALISM. Woods seems to avoid talking/writing about Hitler at all now, in apparent fear that the EOP will publicly point out his deliberate refusal to tell the truth about Hitler's vocabulary. LOL. He will apparently go to his grave without ever telling his readers/listeners the truth. How’s that for obstinance? His style is similar to most socialists and the New York Times in that regard.

State Sen. Tom Woods is using dehumanizing language typical of the Nazis:

"We are a religious state. We are going to fight to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma, because we’re a Christian state. We’re a rural state. We want to lower taxes, and for people to live and work, and to go to the faith they choose."

Tom Woods is acting like a Nazi, and I mean that literally, not exaggerating in the slightest. If he is unwilling to serve the people of Oklahoma -- all of them, not just the ones who go to his church -- he should resign.

In case there was any doubt that right wing cunts are literal fucking parasites upon the human race, here's this goosestepping nazi goat-fucker literally calling LGBTQ people "Filth" while talking about A CHILD MURDERED IN A HATE CRIME

Republicans are not people

Republicans do not have an ounce of the most basic fucking humanity in them

Republicans are what would happen if you cloned Patrick Bateman and had the clones raised by Adolf Hitler
