(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) As violent attacks on pregnancy centers and pro-life organizations continue to receive none to lax investigation by the Justice Department, a group of woke physicians is demanding that special attention be paid to alleged threats on hospitals that conduct and encourage dangerous transgender operations on youths.
“The American Medical Association is asking Big Tech and the Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is ‘disinformation,'” tweeted City Journal writer Christopher F. Rufo.
The AMA, on behalf of itself and the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, sent a letter on Monday to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding that federal agents “investigate the organizations, individuals, and entities coordinating, provoking, and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence against children’s hospitals and physicians across the U.S.”
The threats were based on fact-based reports, which in many cases have forced the agencies and hospitals cited to scrub their links to sex-transitioning surgeries for youths, that are “attacks,” the AMA claimed, “rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information targeting individual physicians and hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment, and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions.”
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, called the AMA’s letter and accompanying demands “absolute insanity.”
“The AMA has lost all credibility,” Crenshaw tweeted.
The AMA’s letter comes on the heels of multiple cases of the Biden regime colluding with social media to suppress and censor narratives that run counter to established leftist doctrine, aided by a complicit media to paint pro-liberty Republicans as domestic threats.
“This is now the Left’s playbook: last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and F.B.I. worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory ‘domestic terrorists,’” Rufo wrote. “They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.”
Children’s hospitals: “We give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries.”
Conservatives: “They give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries.”
The regime: “That’s harmful disinformation and should be censored, criminalized, and suppressed.”

Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., also cited the prior NSAB collusion with the Biden regime in calling for an investigation into the latest effort to suppress any dissenting voices.
“Any ‘threat tags’ to be set up by FBI?” Bishop cracked.
Another “request” for politicized criminal prosecution in derogation of 1A. I look forward to investigating if AMA is a cutout for a political op by the White House, as the NASB was. Any “threat tags” to be set up by FBI? https://t.co/fyRPoACe2D
