[Trans] Democrat Tries to Fundraise Off Hating Charlie Kirk. It Doesn't Go as Planned.
PJ Media ^ | 9/26/2025 | Michael Cantrell

Democratic candidate Laura Benjamin announced that she's dropping out of a House race several days after putting out a fundraising campaign advertisement shredding into assassinated conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Who in their right mind thought this was a good way to drum up cash for a political campaign?

When it comes to compassion and basic human decency, Benjamin is sorely lacking.

Benjamin, a transgender former city council member in Wisconsin running in opposition to current three-term seat holder Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.), announced that she was withdrawing from the campaign on Friday. The reason?

A lack of campaign funds.

In other words, the advertisement failed to elicit the response Benjamin was hoping for. Tastelessly attacking someone whom a transgender rights activist recently killed — and Tyler Robinson is — or daring to try and hold civil debates with his political opposition, fails miserably as a strategy to convince folks to open their wallets.

The Democrat ripped into Kirk for his "hateful rhetoric," which is code for "he said things I didn't like," in ads that appeared on Facebook, each featuring a donation link.

“Running a congressional campaign across a district as large as WI-03 takes significant financial resources,” Benjamin said in a statement about the withdrawal of the campaign. “Despite the incredible support we’ve received, the path to victory simply isn’t there without the level of fundraising required to reach voters.”

“Benjamin swiftly decided to pull out of the race after the ads criticized Kirk. The ads ran for two days. In the ads, Benjamin attacked Van Orden for slamming her comments about Kirk’s assassination.

I thought PJ Media was one of *our* media outlets. Why are they giving this transvestite man “she” and “her” pronouns?

THE QUESTION: “ Who in their right mind thought this was a good way to drum up cash for a political campaign?”

AND THE ANSWER: “Benjamin, a transgender former city council member…”

Benjamin, you see, is CRAZY! That’s who!

Tannies hate themselves and hate God most of all. Nothing good will ever come to them no matter how many democrats prostate themselves to their delusions.

You do make a good point.

Cooperating with the word “gender” is bad enough, but to cooperate in directly mis-naming a male and a female only advances a tragic & demonic delusion.

Writer is neither hot nor cold on facts nor accuracy.

The party of misplaced compassion has become the party that replaced compassion.
