🇺🇸 Prominent US conservative activist Christopher Rufo is claiming that he spoke with a whistleblower in the National Security Agency who says that there is a “cult” of Marxist transgender women in the organization.

The supposed whistleblower asserts that members of the “cult” are so focused on applying gender ideology that they are unable to do their jobs effectively, and that is “going to get people killed in the field.”

Rufo is almost certainly lying, but he was a prominent player behind the recent push by Republicans to claim that “critical race theory” was controlling US public institutions. He has simply shifted from claiming that non-white people are secretly undermining the government, to a new target: trans people.

The tactics used in both cases are similar to McCarthyists in the 1950s, when conservatives attempted to claim that communists were under the control of the Soviet Union, and they were able to use the moral panic to drive left wingers out of public life.
