Heidi Beedle: Trans journo behind banned Antifa Twitter account says she 'supports violence'

'Countless examples show these people can and will harm marginalized people, and the cops and the system aren't going to stop them,' wrote Beedle

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO: The transgender journalist Heidi Beedle, who once handled the Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account, has urged violence against anybody who rejects her extreme left-leaning ideologies. Beedle, 38, was recently identified by The Post Millennial reporter Andy Ngo as the person in control of the Colorado Springs Antifa account, which routinely advocated violence and was shut down by Twitter last week. 

Beedle once more publicly urged for violence this week from her own account. She wrote on December 19, "Do I support violence? Yes. F*** 'em. Remember Unite the Right? This year's Idaho Pride? Club Q? Countless examples show these people can and will harm marginalized people, and the cops and the system aren't going to stop them."

At the controversial Charlottesville Unit the Right demonstration, which took place in the summer of 2017, Beedle put the message atop a photo of rallygoers. When Ngo's alleged identity was revealed, Beedle asserted that she "ceased having anything" to do with the Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account, but she referred to a post from them that called for violence as a "banger."

The trans writer wrote on December 20, "Ngo's followers, and a bunch of conservatives, are freaking about the fact that I was 'Antifa' and are uncritically accepting Ngo's claims that I am behind twitter posts made by COS Antifa long after I ceased having anything to do with it."  "Those posts are bangers tho, for real," Beedle wrote above an image of a Tweet that read "A nationwide recall has been issued on all transphobe's teeth. It's up to each and every one of us to help out where we can," as cited by Daily Mail.

Beedle posted a photo of herself next to an Antifa flag to conclude her most recent thread, along with the statement, "If they want me to shut up they will have to kill me. Support your local Antifa, your local alt-news source, and your local LGBTQ youth center. All you fascists are bound to lose."

Former teacher Beedle is currently a reporter for the alternative daily Colorado Times Recorder and her work has been praised as "invaluable" by Democrat Rep Steven Woodrow. Jason Salzman, a Colorado Times Recorder editor, stated, "Heidi has been very public about her move from activist to journalist ever since beginning her reporting career at the Colorado Springs independent." The newspaper tweeted its support for its colleague in response to its employee's public advocacy of violence. "We stand behind Heidi Beedle's record of excellent journalism here at the Colorado Times Recorder and elsewhere. We are proud to have her as a colleague and friend," tweeted the publication's official account.
