Rep. Nate Schatzline, criticized for ‘Drag’ video, accused of ‘doxing’ Keller’s mom ISD

When Lainey Hawes watched the video that surfaced showing Rep. Nate Schatzline running around in a dress, she, like many others, thought it highlighted his “hypocrisy.” But her problems with the legislator go much deeper.

Schatzline, a Republican from Fort Worth, is behind House Bill 1266, which defines restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and “other commercial establishments” that put on drag shows as a “sexual orientation business.” The proposed law is in stark contrast to the recently unearthed video clip featuring Schatzlain.

Hawes had clashed with the legislator before.

“This is the current state legislator of Texas who doxed me in February,” the mother-of-four tweeted about Schatzline Wednesday afternoon. “He held a campaign rally at a school district council meeting demanding biblical and Christian values ​​in schools.”

Hawes’ tweet contained screenshots from the now-viral video, which had been viewed more than 58,800 times as of Thursday afternoon. It depicts Schatzline as a teenager wearing a scruffy little black jumpsuit that reaches mid-thigh, sleeveless but with a skimpy cleavage. It features a Texas legislator running and jumping in a park; he also wears what appears to be a red masquerade mask.

According to Hawes, her school district, Keller ISD, is being “taken over by extremists.” She noted that controversy over some library books has led conservatives to call for a ban on many titles, especially those dealing with issues of sexuality and race.

The Keller ISD School Board recently decided ban books related to gender variability, according to the WFAA.

The original post, which Schatzline retweeted, called Hawes a “porn apologist in the school library” with an “anti-family agenda.” It was further claimed that she has “a cohort of allies in the area” that includes “the ANTIFA shooting club and Satanists (no kidding)”.

The post, which has since been deleted from Twitter, also provided Hawes and her husband’s official names and their home address.

Hawes claims some have called for a protest near her home. She said that one woman even wrote that she knew the plan of Hawes’ house.

The experience infuriated Hawes and left her fearful for her children: a Texas legislator shared his home address with thousands of social media followers.

“It made me angry that they were putting my kids and my family at risk, especially since all they want to do is ‘protect the kids’, right?” She said. “It’s like it’s their demand to protect children. And that’s not true.”

For Hawes, the move was like a personal attack aimed squarely at her family, adding that she believes it was some sort of scare tactic meant to silence her.

“That’s where we are, I think,” she said. “This is how politics works now, if someone disagrees with you, does he endanger the life of your family? It’s just wild.”

Shatzlin’s office did not return Observerrequest for comment by the time of publication. However, he posted a video response to defend himself after news broke of an emerging clip of him wearing clothes.

“The left-wing media,” Schatzlain said in his post, “took a decades-old clip out of context. He also said that the video was just part of a cool project where his friends “dared” him to wear a dress.

Nate Schatzline has attacked the LGBTQ community, especially children, with his entire personality, and has vowed to ban drag shows in Texas.

Then Schatzlin promised to continue the fight for three “F”. faith, family and freedom — all the while, an instrumental loop of Dr. Dre’s “Still DRE” featuring Snoop Dogg played in the background.

Hawes also indicated that Schatzline is the founder of Freedom and Justice, which aims to promote Christians to public office and mobilize the church. A Fort Worth MP recently created a video declaring that “all government comes from God” and vowed to ask the Holy Spirit to guide his political decisions.

For Hawes, Schatzlain’s anti-traffic bill is “a waste of taxpayer money.” She agrees that children should not be allowed on sexually explicit shows, but says laws already exist to prevent this.

“It’s so stupid when our state has so many real problems, right? School shootings, access to guns, you know, even drug problems — we have fentanyl,” she said. “There are so many things we could spend our time and money on. That’s not it.”
