Megyn Kelly has exclusively reported on the contents of the Nashville Covenant School shooter’s journals, arguing that transparency about the killer’s motives is critical for public understanding and prevention of future violence. The 1,000 pages of writings by Audrey Elizabeth Hale reveal a deeply disturbed individual consumed by transgender ideology, racial hatred, and violent fantasies. Hale, who identified as “Aiden,” expressed a desire to be reborn in a male body to pursue relationships with “brown girls” in the afterlife, while also harboring intense hostility toward white children and Christianity.
– Hale’s belief that Christianity was a fraud, writing, “If God won’t give me a boy body in heaven then Jesus is a f—ing liar”.
– Graphic plans to target white students at the private Christian school, referring to them as “crackers” and “little f—–” with “white privileges”.
– A chilling focus on achieving a “high death count,” with Hale scribbling, “Ready to die haha Aiden” alongside drawings of weapons and attack strategies.
Kelly criticized authorities for suppressing these documents for over a year, contrasting it with the rapid release of manifestos from shooters linked to right-wing ideologies. She highlighted that the delay stemmed from fears the writings would expose failures in mental health systems and embarrass institutions promoting radical gender ideologies. The Biden administration’s FBI reportedly discouraged releasing the journals to avoid fueling “conspiracy theories,” while a court initially blocked their publication using a novel copyright argument transferring ownership to victims’ families.
Independent outlets like The Tennessee Star defied these restrictions, publishing excerpts to spark debate about societal factors behind the tragedy. Kelly emphasized that understanding such motives is essential for addressing root causes, rather than allowing political correctness to dictate public discourse. The case has become a flashpoint in debates over media bias, government transparency, and the ideological double standards shaping coverage of mass violence.
