FACE OF HATE: Twitter’s biggest bigot reveals Ron DeSantis asked her to move in with him
Appearing on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show to a display of sympathy and support, the woman behind the hate-filled Libs of TikTok account — which has directed vitriol and bigotry toward families, teachers, and healthcare providers for daring to support LGBTQ kids — revealed her face, even more open bigotry, and the tidbit that she had been assisted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Chaya Raichik has accused news reporters of “doxing” her by revealing the bigot behind the screen, but she finally abandoned all pretense of anonymity when she appeared on a right-wing opinion show that’s routinely rebroadcast on Russian propaganda media.
Here, she attacked the LGBTQ community, saying that ‘we’ should stop trying to understand people in that community and just conclude that they are”evil.”
Raichik complained about her own alleged “doxing,” griping about her fear for her own safety — ironic, coming from someone whose social media accounts spread propaganda that has resulted in bomb threats against a children’s hospital.
She also revealed that she wasn’t without support even in her worst moment — before she went “into hiding,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis apparently invited her to stay with him in the Governor’s Mansion.
Ultimately, Raichik and Carlson just doubled down on the bigoted hatred, declaring the LGBTQ community “bad people” and claiming that they’re “recruiting” and “grooming” children, while reiterating the false claim that doctors are roping children into surgical and irreversible gender affirmation treatments — the same lie that resulted in death threats against medical providers in Boston.
“What followed was a discussion about gender-affirming care, which Raichik and Carlson reframed as a kind of sterilization based on this false belief that hospitals are providing procedures like hysterectomies to teenagers and children….Such surgeries are somewhat rare even among adult transgender patients, and almost unheard of for children and minors,” Rolling Stone reported
In the clip below, you can see the pair demonizing LGBTQ adults as “groomers” who “entice” children into the community:

Sharing a series of screenshots from one of Raichik’s past social media accounts, reporter Alejandra Caraballo pointed out another potential issue for the hater.
This particular account shows her attending the protests at the Capitol on January 6th.
Caraballo wonders about the odds that Raichik entered the building herself — and whether her big reveal, appearing on Carlson’s show, is providing investigators with a face to match to images from that day.
It's going to be fun when Chaya Raichik reveals her face and OSINT researchers can use it to find her in January 6th insurrection footage. She was close enough to be hit with tear gas and shot at with rubber bullets. What are the odds she entered the Capitol building? pic.twitter.com/BVInoKfNf8
