‘Tech and culture reporter’ for NBC News, Kat Tenbarge, managed to own herself so thoroughly that conservatives looking to ‘own the libs’ are sure to be jealous of her feat. Twitchy readers may remember her recent defense of kids at drag shows.
Kat begins with the usual bit of misdirection we’ve come to expect from the Left. ‘So and so is blaming trans and queer people for child grooming.’ That’s not exactly accurate, is it? Conservatives, by and large, agree that adults can do what they want, even things many on the Right disagree with.
That all goes out the window when you to try bring children into it. Who do conservatives blame for ‘child grooming’? Anyone who is trying to groom children. It’s not complicated.
Tucker Carlson, Libs of TikTok, etc create a stream of content blaming trans and queer people for child grooming, but rarely or never feature actual victims of child grooming. If they did, they’d have to reckon with the fact that many survivors are queer and trans themselves

Kat Tenbarge really stepped in it this time because she essentially said, ‘Oh yeah, maybe you should talk to victims of child grooming and you’ll find out that … they’ve been groomed!’
That’s what we’ve been saying, Kat.
Twitter users weighed in on the honesty leak.
So your point is that grooming has the effect that groomers want? I’m surprised you said this out loud

Just a little.

Not soon enough to delete it, apparently.
That's a helluva cause and effect you've discovered.

If only someone had been saying this.
How about just grooming is bad, full stop? It's not about left vs right.
— EmmaElizaCrouch – Medieval Hag (@EmmaElizaCrouc1) November 25, 2022
This should not be controversial.
From what I've seen, they haven't really called LGBT bad. They just seem to argue that groomers have been using LGBT as a shield
— Vincent Zahler (@VincentZahler) November 25, 2022
Kat is, in fact, trying to use it as a shield in this terribly botched tweet.

It’s amazing how extremely proud liberal TikTokers are until a conservative shares their own words. Then it becomes a dangerous attack.
Thank you for making their point
— Dad Who Dads (@dadwhodads) November 27, 2022
This would all be much easier if everyone on the Left would simply declare that we are right. Thanks, Kat!
Look at you over here, so lacking in self-awareness that you don't even realize you're proving "the other side's" point, even when it's being repeatedly pointed out! And then just leaving this tweet hanging out there in the ether…bless your heart 🤣

It’s amazing she didn’t see it when she tweeted it. That it’s still up is an impressive display of ‘I’m not owned!’
Oh girl you are almost there 🤏🏼
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) November 27, 2022
You took on yourself here, managed to self own, and came out 0-for-1
— Daniel Reid (@danielp_reid) November 27, 2022
LOL.

That’s what we did.
The self-own, illustrated. https://t.co/15eFntASCu
— Ken Gardner (@KenGardner11) November 27, 2022
The dictionary entry for ‘self-own’ should just display this tweet.
Dear Kat: you may want to read this post again and consider that you actually very much make the precise point of Tucker & @libsoftiktok… https://t.co/OeMMmhATG3
— Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) November 27, 2022
Shhhh … Let’s just see how this works out.

Holy crap! He’s right!
Her tweet is still up https://t.co/LiurxFhDsq
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 27, 2022
Points for trying to just tweet through it.

This isn’t the win you think it is https://t.co/heQdNYNZCm

It’s hard to figure out how to score this one. Kat made an excellent point that she didn’t intend to make.
We’re going to award the point to all of us.
