SPLC adds @libsoftiktok Founder Chaya Raichik to the Extremist File

CHAYA RAICHIK

Libs of Tictoc founder CHAYA RAICHIK has added to the Southern Poverty Law (SPLC) Extremist file for her nativist anti-LGBTQI activism:

"Chaya Raichik, the founder of the social media account @LibsofTikTok (LTT) helped revive in right-wing propaganda the anti-LGBTQ+ “groomer” slur, which implies that all LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles. She spreads the anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theory that “groomers” have infiltrated every social institution with the intent of “sexualizing” children. Under the LTT pseudonym, Raichik originally shared content intended to humiliate and intimidate LGBTQ+ content creators. She has used the platform in an anti-LGBTQ+ disinformation campaign that mobilizes right-wing extremist groups in violent attacks against LGBTQ+ people, spaces, and events, as well as against doctors, hospitals, librarians, libraries, teachers, and schools."

According to the SPLC, Chaya Raichik has been heavily featured in the Heritage Foundation events. The Heritage Foundation is the sponsor of the anti-LGBTQI Project 2025 and behind the push to pass the plethora of anti-lgbtqi bills of late.

Chaya Raichik built her following by claiming that the foreign-owned TicToc was "Grooming" children to be transgender, hence the GOP push to ban TicToc.

Her social media posts are at least partially responsible, according to the SPLC, for bomb and death threats at Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., Akron Children’s Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital of Minnesota.

Raichik denied ever saying groomer targeting LGBTQI people and 
questioned whether death or bomb threat ever occured


SPLC substantiated their claims by retrieving 2859 deleted tweets by the verminous libsoftiktok

The Libs of TicToc account was eventually banned on Twitter, but the account has been reinstated thanks to Elon Musk.
