Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in NYC: timeline of alleged 'near catastrophic' incident

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed paparazzi followed them for 'over two hours' in a 'relentless' chase after an awards ceremony on Tuesday

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Ms. Foundation Woman of Vision Awards in New York City on Tuesday evening, and claim they were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" after the ceremony.

Following the event — where the Duchess of Sussex received the 2023 Woman of Vision Award from Gloria Steinem — Markle, her husband and her mother, Doria Ragland, were pursued by swarms of photographers for "over two hours," which resulted in "multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road," according to a spokesperson for the royal couple.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized the "reckless and irresponsible" incident during a press conference, but also said he found it "hard to believe" a "two-hour, high-speed chase" happened in the densely-populated city wrought with traffic, pedestrians and ongoing construction projects. 

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard."

— Julian Phillips, NYPD deputy commissioner of public information

Alleged car chase

Around 10 p.m. - Prince Harry and Markle leave the event through an exit near the Hertz rental car location and are escorted by multiple security guards to a waiting black sports utility vehicle. As they left, they were followed by paparazzi, according to a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex:

"Last night, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi."

"This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers."

Police intervened and, assisting the couple’s private security detail, led them to a police station about 18 blocks from the ballroom, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. 

Yellow taxi

The couple spent several minutes at the police station, waiting for the situation to de-escalate. Once it was safe, they left in a taxi, the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and did so on condition of anonymity, told the AP. 

The cab driver, Sukhcharn Singh, told the AP that he instantly recognized his passengers. "They were following us the whole time," he said of the paparazzi, though he said he wouldn’t call it a chase.

Singh was on 67th Street near an NYPD precinct when a security guard waved him down. Singh pulled the yellow taxi to the curb and in came Harry, Markle and her mom.

"They had this look on their faces," he said. "They were about to give their destination when a garbage truck blocked their path."

"All of a sudden paparazzi came out and started taking pictures,'' he said.

Body language expert Susan Constantine explained Markle gave the paparazzi the "nonverbal cold shoulder."

"Meghan is focused straight ahead with eyes wide open giving the paparazzi a nonverbal cold shoulder. When eyes are wide open and frozen straight ahead that can reveal fear or concern," Constantine, the president of The Human Behavior Academy, told Fox News Digital. "Her pressed lips are slightly turned upward at the corners shows a constrained or nervous smile. Concern is also seen with her folded hand in her lap arms together at her side. Her wrists also folded inward showing vulnerability."

Meanwhile, Harry can be seen holding up his phone — possibly recording or taking photos of the paparazzi.

"Harry is annoyed as seen with his left-hand concealing pinching the inner corners of his eyes," Constantine explained. "Photo blocking and documenting the paparazzi chasing or following them."

Back to police precinct 

Instead of going to their final destination, Singh says the royals told him to circle back to the precinct.

"They didn’t say much," Singh said. "They just asked my name and then after that Harry said thanks and have a good day."

They paid $17 in fare — and left a generous tip.

"It was pretty good man,'' Singh told the AP. "They gave me a $50. I mean, when I’m going around the block that’s more than enough."

Sussexes arrive ‘at their destination’ 

The NYPD, who assisted Prince Harry and Markle with transportation, shared their account with Fox News Digital. "There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging," Julian Phillips, deputy commissioner of public information, said in a statement. 

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard," Phillips concluded.

Markle and Harry stepped back from their senior roles in 2020 and have since settled in California to raise their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Fox News Digital reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle, as well as the royal family, but have not heard back.

Conservatives Boycott Target Over Sales of Chest Binders and ‘Tuck-Friendly’ Bathing Suits for ‘Transgender’ Children

 

 

 

 

Conservatives have launched a boycott of Target after it was revealed that the retail giant is selling “tuck-friendly” bathing suits and chest binders for “transgender” children.

The items are part of a sizeable LGBTQ-themed selection of children’s apparel, books, and accessories aimed at gender-bending minors.

 

Items of children’s clothing sold by Target include a shirt that says “live laugh lesbian” and another that says “Queer Queer Queer Queer.”

 

Books being sold in the children’s section also include gender ideology materials.

“One book called ‘Bye Bye Binary’ centers on a ‘joyful baby’ who ‘refuses to conform to the gender binary and instead chooses toys, colors, and clothes that make them happy’ and is marketed as a ‘perfect tool to encourage children to love what they love and is also a great baby shower gift for all soon-to-be-parents,'” the Daily Wire reports. “Another volume entitled ‘The Pronoun Book’ exposes ‘readers both young and old’ to a ‘diverse cast of people and simple text that introduces their pronouns.'”

The shocking selection prompted swift backlash from conservative commentators who branded it far worse than Bud Light had done and called for a boycott.

“What @Target is doing is far worse than anything Bud Light did. They are selling chest binders & ‘tuck-friendly’ bathing suits for children,” Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said. “Target is calling our bluff. But just like any other company, they need our business. We did it with Bud Light. Now it’s Target’s turn.”

 

“I try to stay out of @Target as much as possible but this is the very first thing you see when you walk in the store right now,” conservative musician Five Times August tweeted. “It’s displayed there because they want kids to see it. It’s all programming. Everywhere you go. Stay out of Target. Friggin’ obnoxious.”

The singer’s tweet included photos of items for sale, one of which included imagery of nude adults.

 

 

 

Concerned mothers also filmed themselves questioning target employees about where the “Straight section” for children is.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle moving from protected SUV to taxi amid chase makes 'zero sense': security expert

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they were chased through New York City by photographers for 'over two hours'

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle switching from a chauffeured, protected SUV to a New York City taxicab during an alleged chase involving paparazzi photographers Tuesday night makes "zero sense," a security expert told Fox News Digital Wednesday. 

"It makes zero sense," AllSTAR Security President Mark Selden told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. "Completely zero sense. "You're in a protected environment. You're with your security." 

The Sussexes and Meghan's mother Doria Ragland were pursued in their car by photographers after a charity event in New York City Tuesday evening, briefly taking refuge at a police station before being whisked away in a yellow taxicab.

"They were at a police precinct, which is the safest environment they could be in," Selden added. "And that's where they should have stayed in a safe environment, never should have left." 

A spokesperson for the royal couple told Fox News Digital: "Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.

"This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers," the spokesperson said. 

The couple’s car stopped at a police precinct around 18 blocks from where they attended the Women of Vision Awards at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan and eventually grabbed a yellow cab from there. 

Sukhcharn Singh, the cab driver, told The Associated Press it was one of Markle and Harry's private security guards who flagged him down as he drove on 67th Street near the police station. 

The couple spent several minutes at the station, waiting for the situation to de-escalate. Once it was safe, they left in a taxi, an official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and did so on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press.

Selden, who works in New York City, said he would have advised having at least two security guards as they reportedly only had one during the taxicab move, adding that the move to the taxicab put the Sussexes in "an unsafe position."

"If what I understand, they were with one security guard from what I've read, allegedly. And, you know, one security guard is obviously not enough for the former royals or the royals that they are."

 

The taxi driver said that the paparazzi "were following us the whole time," though he said he wouldn’t call it a chase. "They didn’t say much," Singh said. "They just asked my name and then after that Harry said thanks and have a good day."

"They gave me a $50" for a $17 fare, he told the AP. "I mean, when I’m going around the block that’s more than enough."

The taxi driver told The AP that Markle and Harry were about to give their destination when a garbage truck blocked their path, and instead, one of the royals told him to circle back to the precinct and gave him a generous tip.

 

 

 

Selden also said he thought the claim that the alleged chase lasted two hours in the city made "zero sense" to him. 

"It makes zero sense to someone who's a New Yorker," he said. "You could have gone to a police station in 15 minutes anywhere in New York City, could have gone to a firehouse, go to a governmental building. You could have gone to a hotel where [the paparazzi] could have been locked out. You could have gone anywhere. You could have been in a much more safe situation, let alone running around New York City in a car."

He said he’s familiar with paparazzi chases because of his work protecting dignitaries, celebrities and business people.

 When you are someone that's in the public eye, you're always going to be a bit aware that there's going to be paparazzi looking at you. That's part of your job," he explained, "but at the same time, if you put yourself in an unsafe situation, you have to know how to get yourself to safety and your security, that's their job to know that." 

Former Secret Service agent Dan Emmett told Fox News that the Sussexes would need "more police support" if they plan to stay in the U.S. 

"I believe if they’re going to stay in this country they’re going to continue to attract this type of attention from the media from the paparazzi," he told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. "They’re going to have to get a little more police support. If you surround the vehicle with police you’re not going to have this type of situation." 

He added that in the three years he served in the New York Secret Service field office, "I don't believe there was ever any high-speed chase that lasted two hours. You can actually drive through all five boroughs of New York in two hours."

He said more video or other evidence would need to come to light to make that claim more credible. "I also find it very unlikely that this occurred for two hours and NYPD made no arrests. To me, that seems the most bizarre part of the story," Emmett added. 

Selden echoed Emmett's statement, saying: "I can't imagine running around New York City for two hours and not finding safety is beyond me. I mean, you can walk into a hotel, you can walk into a building, you can walk into a Fifth Avenue building, and they'll close the door behind them and lead you to safety … I mean, there are buildings you can walk into that will take you in for cover. I mean, all over New York."

The incident was also a reminder of Princess Diana’s deadly car crash following a high-speed paparazzi chase in Paris in 1997, though in this case, police said, no one was hurt. 

The NYPD told Fox News Digital that the photographers "made their transport challenging" but they arrived at their destination safely and no arrests were made. 

Authorities are also looking through traffic camera footage and security footage to "piece together what transpired," a law enforcement source told Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz and Haley-Chi-Sing as well as The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Harry and Meghan Latest Story about a “Near Catastrophic Car Chase” Is Quickly Debunked by Their Taxi Driver (Video)

That Was Quick: Harry and Meghan Latest Story about a “Near Catastrophic Car Chase” Is Quickly Debunked by Their Taxi Driver (Video)

 

 

New York City taxi driver Sukhcharn Singh, who goes by Sonny, spoke to reporters on Wednesday after he gave Harry and Meghan a short lift in New York City on Tuesday night.

The publicist for attention wh*res Harry and Meghan told the media on Wednesday that Harry and Meghan were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” after they left a charity event in New York City on Tuesday night.

The AP reported:

The royal couple set off alarms when their spokesperson claimed Wednesday that they had been dangerously pursued by paparazzi in a “near catastrophic car chase” through the streets of Manhattan. That account led New York City Mayor Eric Adams to condemn the paparazzi chasing them as “reckless and irresponsible.”

Later, though, police said the pursuit was relatively short and led to no injuries, collisions or arrests, and warranted no further investigation. Still, it drove home real security concerns surrounding the royal couple and the trauma brought on by the death of Harry’s mother when he was just 12 years old.

The cab driver who drove them from the police station said he instantly recognized his passengers and that paparazzi “were following us the whole time,” though he said wouldn’t call it a chase.

“They had this look on their faces,” the driver, Sukhcharn Singh, said. “All of a sudden paparazzi came out and started taking pictures.”

 

The taxi driver later debunked the reports by the Duke and Duchess.

 

 “Sonny” was asked if he felt like the paparazzi was being aggressive. He replied, “No, no, no. I mean they stayed on top of us. That was pretty much it. Nothing more. They kept their distance. They were just like journalists. They were just like anybody else. They were trying to get pictures, make a quick buck… They did seem nervous.”

Adidas Collaborates with Radical Designer – Unveils Homely Male as Company’s Newest Women’s Swimwear Model – Conservatives Respond in Brutal Fashion

 

 

 

 

 Adidas on Wednesday became the latest woke, globalist corporation to shove the radical left trans agenda in America’s face.

The company decided to feature an ugly biological male who calls himself a woman as their newest female swimwear model.

As Fox News reported, Adidas collaborated with radical South African designer Rich Mnisi to release the “Let Love Be Your Legacy” collection and campaign. The company claims to want to “encourage allyship and freedom of expression without bias, in all spaces of sport and culture” with its campaign with Mnisi.

Mnisi said this in an Adidas news release:

In creating this collection, I had a strong impulse to speak to my inner-child and express to the world how LGBTQ+ allyship can create a legacy of love. “Unifying these themes together through my own visual language and Adidas’ iconic performance and lifestyle pieces is a powerful combination, making the collection a symbol for self-acceptance and LGBTQ+ advocacy. My hope is this range inspires LGBTQ+ allies to speak up more for the queer people they love and not let them fight for acceptance alone.

In classic woke speak, this means replacing attractive females with hideous males dressing up as women.

LOOK:

Adidas, of course, is just the latest globalist company to collude with the radical trans mafia to erase women from society. Nike and Bud Light last month decided to shove trans social media personality Dylan Mulvaney in America’s face.

Bud Light has not recovered from this move despite firing the executive responsible for Mulvaney. Their sales have cratered by over 20% per week since putting Mulvaney on their beer cans.

Conservatives led by Riley Gaines responded to this latest stunt by woke corporate America in brutal fashion.

Old Video of E. Jean Carroll Resurfaces, Confirms She’s a Wackadoodle – Even Crazier Than We Thought (VIDEO)

by Jim Hoft May. 16, 2023 8:00 am37 Comments

 

 

 

 

 E. Jean Carroll (Youtube/Elle Magazine)

In 2019, Elizabeth Jean Carroll claimed that former President Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan in the mid-1990s while they were shopping.  She’s not clear when this happened.

In the same year, E. Jean Carroll sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair following her bogus accusations against Trump.

The article paints Carroll as a complete lunatic who lived with mice in a cabin she called the “Mouse House,” painted trees and rocks outside her log cabin blue, and traveled the country with her blue-dyed poodle but not her cat, Vagina T. Fireball, who she left back home.

Vanity Fair wrote, “The “E” in “E. Jean” stands for Elizabeth, a name she gave herself after growing up as Betty Jean. She lives in a cabin she calls “the Mouse House,” surrounded by trees with trunks she’s painted a striking shade of pale blue. When she embarks on her road trip, in a Prius named Miss Bingley, she leaves behind her cat, Vagina T. Fireball, but takes her now-departed standard poodle, Lewis Carroll, whose pompadour was also dyed blue.”

E. Jean Carroll claimed to have had sexual tips from her dog, although it is still unclear if she was referring to Lewis Carroll, or to another dog she named Tits. Yes, you read that right.

 

E. Jean Carroll’s dog, Lewis Carroll (Youtube/Elle Magazine)

A video that was uploaded to Youtube by Elle Magazine on October 30, 2017, served as further evidence that the information on Vanity Fair was accurate.

The video centers on Carroll’s daily life at her house in upstate New York while wearing a red wig. As of this writing, it has been viewed nearly 33,000 times.

Below is the excerpt at the 4:40 mark:

“I call it the “Mouse House” because some very distinguished mice live here. Conneman(?) lives in the kitchen. Tuberski(?) lives in the bedroom.

This is my shed. And on that side are the books that most influenced me growing up. On the door, are the list of my dogs Markie, Fortuna de la Spunky(?), Heidi, Tits, Bloody, and Hepburn.

The streams and the rivers were dry and it so horrified me that I came out and started painting the rocks blue to indicate that there was once a river here. And then after I got done painting the rocks, I just sort of walked over here and then did that tree and then did that tree. And then I did this tree. And then pretty soon I’d done this whole forest.

Wash Dem Gov Signs Controversial Bill Allowing Gov to Take Away Minors From Parents If They Refuse to Agree to Gender Transition Surgery (VIDEO)

 

 https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/washington-democrat-governor-inslee-signs-controversial-bill-allowing-government-to-take-away-minors-from-parents-if-they-refuse-to-agree-to-gender-transition-surgery-video/

 

(They ARE NOT YOUR Children)

 

Washington Democrat Governor Inslee Signs Controversial Bill Allowing Government to Take Away Minors From Parents If They Refuse to Agree to Gender Transition Surgery (VIDEO)

 

On Monday, Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) signed the controversial Senate Bill 5599 introduced by State Sen. Marko Liias (D-Everett), which allows the state to legally take children away from their parents if they don’t consent to their child’s gender transition surgeries or abortion.

Washington state’s current law requires that any youth shelter where a child seeks refuge must notify their parents or guardians within 24 to 72 hours. However, the state law allows them to not tell the parents or legal guardians if they have “compelling reasons” to believe that doing so would put the kid in danger of abuse or neglect.

The newly signed law will allow the government to hide the whereabouts of runaway children who claim to be seeking sex changes or abortions. Meaning, no one can protest the “state-sanctioned kidnapping of children.”

Senate Bill 5599 will remove parents from the health and mental health care decision-making process of their children.

“Trans youth and transgender people have become a target for disinformation campaigns and political stunts that portray them as dangerous or degenerate,” said Inslee during the bill signing Monday.

“In Washington State, we reject the politics of transphobia and fear. We look for ways to help LGBTQ remain safe and support it. With this bill, Washington leads the way by taking a more compassionate, developmentally appropriate, and reasoned approach to support these youth as they access gender-affirming treatment and reproductive health care services,” he added.

WATCH:

Democrat Washington State Senator Marko Liias, the prime sponsor of the bill, issued a statement when the bill was signed into law.

“Transgender and at-risk youth deserve safety during difficult times in their life,” said Liias.

“SB5599 to remove barriers to safe shelter for those seeking gender-affirming or reproductive care was signed into law today! I’m so inspired by and honored to work with our LGBTQ community,” he added.

A group has reportedly filed a referendum to overturn SB 5599, as reported by Discovery Institute Senior Journalist Jonathan Choe. The campaign to gather the required number of signatures to appear on the November ballot has officially begun, Choe added.

More of SB 5599 from Clark County Today:

Although framed by proponents as a bill to protect youth suffering from abuse, SB 5599 only stipulates that the minors be “seeking or receiving protected health care services” for a homeless shelter or “host home” to avoid informing the parents or legal guardians, as otherwise required by state law.

The bill adds youth seeking abortions or irreversible gender surgeries to the list of compelling reasons while allocating $7.5 million to the Office of Homeless Youth Prevention and Protection Programs for “supportive care grants to organizations to address the needs of youth and young adults seeking protected health care services.” The bill does not state when or if the parents ever need to be notified of their child’s whereabouts.

As defined by existing state law, “gender affirming care” includes but is not limited to the following procedures:

• Breast augmentation
• Chemical peel
• Dermabrasion
• Facial feminization surgeries
• Face lift
• Facial masculinization surgeries
• Forehead brow lift
• Genital modification
• Hair line modification
• Hair removal by electrolysis or laser
• Hysterectomy
• Lip enhancement
• Reduction thyroid chondroplasty (chondrolaryngoplasty or tracheal shave)
• Rhinoplasty
• Skin resurfacing
• Liposuction
• Mastectomy
• Penile implant
• Voice modification

Combined with HB 1469, which has passed in both chambers, the two policies would allow youth from other states to run away from home, go to a Washington youth shelter seeking an abortion or gender surgery, and the parents would not have to be notified. Also, none of the medical records related to any of those services could be obtained.

One amendment added on the House floor requires OHY to collect data on the number of unsheltered homeless youth in the state, while another requires the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to offer a runaway youth referrals to behavioral health services and services to “resolve the conflict and accomplish a reunification of the family.”

Existing family reunification services include:

• Short-term family counseling
• Crisis Residential Center services
• Referrals for substance abuse treatment and/or counseling
• Referrals for mental health services
• Short-term placement

Although SB 5599 does not address abuse or neglect, supporters speaking on the House floor before the April 12 vote conflated parents not accepting a child’s claim to be the opposite gender as akin to an “unsafe” home environment.

Prince Harry continues to slight King Charles with 'heartless' behavior: expert

 

Prince Harry headed to the airport immediately after King Charles III's coronation

 

 

By Neil Sean | Fox New

King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla make their first balcony appearance after their coronation followed by the Royal Air Force flyover.

 

COMMENTARY: Heartless Harry really knows how to twist the knife when it comes to his once-beloved family, who have done nothing but support him for thirty-plus years.

 

Westminster Abbey was alight with the news that the bad-boy Prince had arrived to finally show some kind of respect to his father, King Charles, on this very historic occasion.

Bouncing in laughing and smiling, there was no facial embarrassment, given the fact he has trashed his family across the world via TV, print and social media with endless fictitious stories about racism, recognition for his wife, Meghan, and general treatment of his lavish time in the royal family.

But why did Harry refuse the chance to at least spend some time with his family alone without the praying mantis grip of Meghan’s arm?

King Charles, along with Camilla, really had no idea what time Harry was arriving back here to the UK, and even more so what time he was to depart, although he was happy to share this in the abbey with Jack Brooksbank in a conversation Harry had to know would be picked up by lip readers assigned to the royal occasions and splashed over the media that he loathes so much.

The message was loud and clear - I am here for duty and media profile - simple as that. 

He knows that this will be a talking point on any chat show or book promotion looming, but above all, for the ex-royal, it’s all about the cash. Never mind the move and reach-out from a family who has been subjected to months of bad press, thanks to Harry and his wife, Meghan.

Directly after the ceremony, Harry was seen rushing towards a car with a Met Police escort and looking to board a flight back to the U.S., where a world of feeding chickens, plotting revenge against the UK press and further attacks on his family, awaits.

While he may wear a rictus grin alongside the medals on display, he knew that all eyes would, for the first time, not be on him. Wife Meghan wisely chose to stay away, given that she knows how disliked she has become here in the UK.

But better things - even the UK weather held off long enough for all to enjoy the wonderful, staged event, which delighted millions in the mall and billions around the world. The heavens opened, though, but this did not deter so many who were happy to be part of the wonderful celebration.

A source who is close to Harry told me that he "didn’t bow to the new King or sing the anthem" - beyond shameful, yet to many, Harry is the victim.

Meanwhile, the star of the show for many was Prince Louis. But why did Prince Louis leave his seat during the Coronation ceremony? There is much speculation on what happened, as he was there and then gone, but the simple fact was it was planned after the incident at the Platinum Jubilee, in which Catherine at points struggled to contain his excitement. 

And well, this could not happen at the coronation, and so it was agreed that he would have various comfort breaks.

Meanwhile, George - looking directly at his future with all that was going around him - sat it out, as did Princess Charlotte. But what a memory all three are going to have.

Black man charged with murdering two White strangers in Oklahoma because of their race

Suspect shot two men in back of head in what authorities are calling a hate crime

Rep Angle Ogles: I’m asking the DOJ to classify the Nashville shooting as a hate crime

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., shares his thoughts on the media reaction to the school shooter in Nashville on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

A Black man has been charged with fatally shooting two White strangers in the back of the head in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as part of what authorities are calling a racially motivated hate crime.

Carlton Gilford allegedly shot and killed two men to whom he did not have any connection on April 18, according to the Tulsa Police Department. 

Police said Gifford, who according to jail records is homeless, went inside the Rudisill Library around 9:40 a.m., walked up behind a man sitting at a desk, and shot him in the back of the head.

The victim, 35-year-old Lundin Hathcock, was rushed to the hospital where he died.

After the library shooting, police said, Gifford went to a nearby QuikTrip convenience store and shot 55-year-old James McDaniel in the back of the head. When the victim fell to the ground, the suspect shot him again. McDaniel died at the scene.

Police said that surveillance video showed Gilford also fired shots at a security guard and another person outside the QuikTrip. When officers arrived, Gilford was standing outside the store and admitted that he shot two people, according to the department.

Gilford was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill, and one count of malicious intimidation or harassment.

The latter charge is Oklahoma's version of a hate crime. Under Oklahoma law, there is no specific hate crime statute, but malicious intimidation or harassment includes targeting someone based on their race.

HATE CRIME AT ITS HIGHEST LEVELS IN DECADES, ACCORDING TO FBI

According to Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler, the evidence suggests Gilford, who is Black, shot both men because they were White. The prosecutor didn't elaborate.

"The information suggests that race played a role in it," said Kunzweiler, according to local CBS affiliate KOTV. "I feel like that is something we can prove, and it is something that a judge or jury obviously needs to listen to. So, we will present that information along with everything else."

Jail records show Gilford is due in court June 23. He is currently being held without bond — according to prosecutors for the safety of the public.

"Whenever you are talking about the dynamic where the safety of the public is at risk, in my mind, somebody who is killing somebody or doing harm toward somebody who they don't know, that really amps things up," said Kunzweiler.

Trans activist appears to tout Smirnoff relationship, company denies partnership

Maxine LaQueene is also a pro-trans activist who was recently removed from the Texas state capitol for disrupting a legislature vote on a trans-related bill

By Gabriel Hays | Fox New

A  trans woman and drag queen appeared to promote a paid partnership with Smirnoff, but the vodka retailer is denying any current deal with the budding activist.

Several recent Instagram posts from drag queen and trans woman "Maxine LaQueene" featured the official "Paid Partnership with Smirnoff" tags, denoting that the major liquor retailer has hired the biological male for promotional material.

In addition to being a promoter of drag and transgenderism, LaQueene is an outspoken LGBTQ activist who had recently been removed from the Texas state capitol building by police for disrupting a legislature vote on a trans bill.

Smirnoff has denied having any current working relationship with LaQueene. In an email to Fox News Digital, a representative said LaQueene "is not currently a Smirnoff partner, and does not currently have any contract with Smirnoff." LaQueen, the representative said, was one of the participants in a promotional campaign in the fall of 2022 but not now in 2023.

U.K anti-trans and detransition activist Oli London made the alleged connection between LaQueene and Smirnoff in a post shared to his Twitter account. 

London shared several images, including a paid partnership post, a photo of LaQueene protesting at the capitol, and another of her being escorted out by police while apparently flashing her private parts to bystanders.

In addition to the photos, he wrote, "Meet the FACE of @SmirnoffUS. A radical trans activist who participated in an illegal insurrection in the Texas state house this week and flashed his backside and genitals in front of teenage children and women. He also testified in opposition to SB14 against a ban on child genital surgeries."

The user added, "He campaigns for children yet his Twitter is littered with horrifying explicit content! Is this person someone who should be the face of a vodka brand?"

Fox News Digital scrolled through LaQueene’s Instagram in an attempt to confirm the claims in London’s tweet. The first pinned item on the trans woman's account is a video featuring her being yanked out of the Texas legislature’s upper gallery by police after joining in with a raucous left-wing protest of Senate Bill 14.

Fox reported on the protests against the bill that would "ban gender surgeries or other sex reassignment procedures being performed on children," stating, "Left-wing protesters swarmed the Texas state Capitol in Austin on Tuesday, forcing lawmakers to halt proceedings."

In LaQueene’s caption for the video, she stated, "While sitting in the House of Representatives, myself & many others were forcibly removed by @texas_dps [Texas Department of Public Safety] in an attempt to clear the room."

A further look at the same account revealed multiple posts showing LaQueene in full drag doing promotional material for Smirnoff’s Pride 2023 Ambassadorship. One of the posts was a video ad involving LaQueene strutting in full drag for the campaign.

Marketing strategist Emma Ferrara comments on Bud Light's social media misfire.

Another beverage company, this time vodka retailer Smirnoff, has hired a trans woman and drag queen as one of its paid partners in recent weeks.

Several recent Instagram posts from drag queen and trans woman "Maxine LaQueene" featured the official "Paid Partnership with Smirnoff" tags, denoting that the major liquor retailer has hired the biological male for promotional material.

Again, a tag at the top of the post read, "Paid partnership with smirnoff."

Bridal magazine puts bearded 'trans-feminine' activist in dress on cover, draws backlash

'The woke pandemic has reached India,' one Twitter account said

• Facebook

Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr said when debating SB99, "If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments I hope the next time there’s an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands."

Brides Today, a wedding magazine for brides in India, has drawn backlash after it featured a "trans-feminine" person on its cover. 

Trans poet, comedian and activist Alok Vaid-Menon, who goes by "ALOK," is shown in several cover photos wearing womens' wedding apparel from jewelry to a head covering and a dress for its digital magazine. 

Brides Today shared the photos on Instagram, where they received widespread criticism from users saying the photos were disrespectful to women.

The photos also went viral with over three million views after being shared by the account "End Wokeness" on Twitter. 

"The woke pandemic has reached India," the account tweeted. Several Twitter users responded in disbelief, asking if the photos were fake and posting vomiting emojis.

Some critics highlighted a since-deleted controversial Facebook post from 2016 where the activist allegedly said in response to bans on transgender women using girls' restrooms, "Little girls are also kinky. Your kids aren't as straight and narrow as you think."

In the accompanying Brides Today interview, the activist complained about being bullied, the need to affirm transgender identities, and India's ban on same-sex marriage. Vaid-Menon slammed the "continued discrimination" against the trans community.

"The reason LGBTQI+ people are hunted is because we have the audacity to embrace authenticity and autonomy in a world that prescribes conformity. People take their own insecurities and project them at us. If they were secure in themselves, they wouldn’t seek to deny and disappear us. In other words: the continued discrimination against our community is an indication of the mental health struggle of our non-LGBTQI peers. What’s needed then is the promotion of positive mental health for all. What’s needed is the creation of a culture tied together with love, not shame," Vaid-Menon said.

While the activist does not have the same name recognition as other trans activists like Dylan Mulvaney, Vaid-Menon was still the subject of friendly interviews with the New York Times in 2021 and The Washington Post last July.

Fox News Digital reached out to Brides Today and Alok Vaid-Menon for comment on the backlash, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
