MSNBC’s Ali Velshi somehow managed to hit a new low on his Saturday show as he accused mainstream conservatives of creating an environment for terrorism against transgender individuals. As part of a monologue, Velshi declared, “In just the past two years, there has been a quote, ‘steep and sustained increase in the rate of right-wing protests pushing anti-LGBTQ+ claims,’ according to the research group, Crowd Counting Consortium.”

ASHEVILLE - In a highly emotional meeting at which residents and elected officials talked about their religious faith, fears about safety and personal experiences with discrimination, Buncombe County commissioners voted unanimously to enact new protections for transgender people.
With the one Republican member, District 3 Commissioner Robert Pressley of Bent Creek absent, the Board of Commissioners voted 6-0 for the protections, formally titled an Ordinance Prohibiting Discrimination in Employment and Public Accommodations.
It bans discrimination based on gender identity as well as multiple other characteristics, including race, natural hair or hairstyles, ethnicity, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin or ancestry, marital or familial status, pregnancy, veteran status, religious belief or non-belief, age or disability.
