A former senior legal adviser to Donald Trump has attracted a lot of backlash for her comments about the Club Q gay nightclub shooting in Colorado.
Five people died and at least 18 others were injured in the attack in Colorado Springs, which came amid a campaign by conservative media and politicians to demonize trans people and drag queens. There has been a spike in anti-QLGBT harassment. Murder and hate crime charges have been filed against the suspect.
Ellis said that the victims of the shooting would suffer eternal damnation because they weren't.
There is no evidence that the five people who died in the nightclub were Christians. They are now reaping the consequences of having eternal damnation because they did not accept the truth of the Gospel of Christ.
Ellis, a right-wing media pundit, played a top role in Trump's failed legal push to overturn the 2020 presidential election, as well as working as a legal adviser to a right-wing Republican candidate who lost. She has a history of anti-gay rhetoric.

She wrote that whether or not homosexuals are nice, wise people, or misunderstood, is not the issue.
She was disappointed that conservatives were acquiescing to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual agenda after the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Florida.
The shooting in Florida was horrible. She said that the response to the tragedy should not advocate for gay rights.
She criticized the Colorado Springs Police Department for including the Club Q victims pronouns in their identities.
Right-wing figures have denied accusations that their rhetoric helped create the environment for anti-LGBTQ violence, instead accusing critics of vilifying the community and its allies.
Ellis was lambasted online Wednesday after clips of her commentary went public.
Ellis said she doesn't have anything against gay and trans people, just anyone who isn't Christian enough.
She said she was concerned for anyone and everyone who wasn't saved. There is no proof that these people were saved. Y'all need a place of worship.
