  • Fox News ‘They/Them Summer’ Claim Fox News published an article titled 'They/them' summer: a new far-left extremist plot to undermine American democracy on June 19 2022. Rating Not True Like this fact check? Reporting On June 23 2022, a Twitter screenshot of a purported Fox News article about a they/them summer spread virally: OH SHIT NOW ITS OFFICIAL WE IN THE THEY/THEM SUMMER YALL pic.twitter.com/YytV5UliW5 — Lily Simpson is They/Them Summer (@LilySimpson1312) June 23, 2022 An appended screenshot depicted what looked like an article published on the website of Fox News. Text on the screenshot read: Los Angeles • Published June 19, 2022 10:07am EDT Florida is where wokes go to die... Please enable JavaScript Florida is where wokes go to die ‘They/them’ summer: a new far-left extremist plot to undermine American democracy Experts warn that the ‘deoedipianized theys’ are a far greater threat than Islamic terrorists By Danielle Wallace | Fox News Twitter commenters appeared to take the screenshot at face value, responding: Since American democracy was originally designed for rich white dudes, I can see why they’re worried. Don’t want any of that democracy without qualifiers. I can’t find this article at all. Has it been deleted, maybe? Is it so hard to understand the English grammar regarding how to use they and them?! I understand grammar can be hard – but being a greater threat than Islamic terrorists sounds a bit extreme. And democracy – yeah, you need to understand the language to participate;plausible. Boy, they sure do have an extremist reaction to (checks notes) having to use one other word as someone’s pronoun – something that makes no difference in their own day to day lives[.] There are so many far-left plots, it’s impossible for me to keep up. I see they are saying that Islamic terrorists are not a threat. That is a refreshing change from their usual islamophobic fearmongering. One reader remarked that they had difficulty locating a Fox News article with the title seen in the image. Visiting the putative author’s page on Fox News led to a complete list of articles attributed to them. Fox News writer Danielle Wallace did write an article published at 10:17am on June 19 2022. However, the headline and subheading had been altered for the screenshot. It originally read: LAPD form skirmish line after officers pummeled with fireworks, bottles during ‘street takeover’ LAPD responded to calls of a ‘street takeover’ in Boyle Heights A Twitter screenshot of a purported Fox News article, ‘They/them’ summer: a new far-left extremist plot to undermine American democracy, was virally popular in June 2022. The image appeared to be edited as a joke or as political commentary, using a real June 19 2022 article about the Los Angeles Police Department as a template.
