An NPR host issued a clarification Wednesday after Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., referred to the Annunciation Catholic School shooter in Minneapolis as a "he" during an interview with the outlet. In an interview with NPR host Ailsa Chang, conducted hours after the killings, Klobuchar used male pronouns to refer to the deceased shooter. After the interview ended, Chang noted the gender of the shooter was "unclear." "And just a point of clarification, Senator Klobuchar referenced the shooter as ‘he.’ Although police have identified a suspect, it's still unclear at this time what that person's gender is or how they identify,''

She also said he was a 'madman', instead of ...what? Mad - It? Mad-they?

Note to NPR: When the coroner stripped the pants off this murderer, they found male body parts. Robin/Robert was a HE. No amount of "self identifying" or transgender affirmations would ever change HIM into a her. Even when he was dead, NPR felt the need to feed into his delusions.

It’s not NPR’s correction that matters here but Klobuchar’s words. Calling him “he” knowing full well he was trans is her way of trying to dissociate this psycho from the trans-tribe so the movement isn’t damaged. CNN is pulling the same stunt too.

The killer, the male killer, said he was tired of playing the tranny. He knew he was not a woman. He sometimes wore male clothing again. He was thinking of going back to his original biological sex. He knew the truth about the mess he had made of his own life. I'm tired of this nonsense. Frankly I'm tired of MN. I thought CA, NY/NYC and Chicago was enough but MN has been showing it's butt ugly nonsense lately so they are on my no go list too.

Politically correct speech is insane. Not only is the "sexual identity unclear, but apparently we don't know whether Robert/Robin is one person or more than one, since NPR doesn't know "how THEY identify" [Emphasis mine].

He's DEAD! Very dead. There is no "self" left to "self identify". His former self identity is paying for his deeds while MALE body is rotting away. It's too late to offend HIM.

But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.
