“One thing you need to understand about the LGBT movement is they don’t reproduce. They recruit,” Helfenbein said as O’Donnell agreed. “And they’re going to take your children from you.”

In April 2025, he also complained that LGBTQ+ people had “co-opted” the rainbow and said that they need to “figure out a way to take those things back,” setting up an adversarial position with the community, saying “It is an us-versus-them thing.”

In earlier tweets, O’Donnell also provided support for Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation created manifesto that drove Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign and that continues to target LGBTQ+ and women’s rights.

This type of thing screams “check his hard drive!”

    I don’t understand how any parent could put sexual orientation, religion, or politics ahead of their love for their child. A parents love should be unconditional.

    Even If my child turned out to be a serial killer, I would encourage them to turn themselves in to the authorities, and get help, but I would never stop loving them.
