ANDY NGO REPORTS: Portland Trantifa extremist who issued death threats against Nancy Mace and J.K. Rowling identified

On Nov. 19, a trans person using the screen name “venuspeenis” posted graphic video death threats to Rep. Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, and J.K. Rowling. After Mace posted the threats on her X account, the extremist changed his screen name, locked down his account and has been scrubbing his online footprint. But following an investigation, this journalist can report that the person who made the threats is Venus Andromeda Boyle (b. Nov. 15, 2000). He was previously known as Joshua Ryan Matthew Boyle.

The 24-year-old, originally from Lakeside, Calif., is a Portland State political science student on a scholarship awarded by the Pride Foundation for his transgender activism. Boyle has a history of involvement with Antifa in Portland.

Boyle is a Pride Foundation scholar at Portland State University

In August 2019, Boyle attended a direct action by Rose City Antifa spinoff group PopMob where he posed with a bloody severed prop head of Donald Trump. Rose City Antifa is one of the most violent cells of Antifa in the United States. Their members have been involved in extreme violence and crime in the Pacific Northwest. Women who speak out against trans ideology have often been the target of their violence.

PopMob infamously organized the direct action in June 2019 where this journalist was beaten and hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage. PopMob was founded by extremist Antifa associate and radical trans activist Alisha Dawn Berry, who uses the alias “Effie Baum” and is now a doctor in a residency program at the University of New Mexico researching transgender medicine.

Boyle’s shocking threats earlier this week were seen over 10 million times after Rep. Mace posted it.

Tagging Mace on Instagram, Boyle said: “I hope that one day I do find you in that women's bathroom, and I grab you by your ratty looking f*cking hair and drag your face down to the floor while I repeatedly bash it in until the blood's everywhere and you're dead.”

Mace introduced a resolution on Monday to declare single-sex spaces (i.e., bathrooms and locker rooms) on Capitol Hill single sex. Democrats and left-wing ideologues blasted Mace for the move, which they said was an “attack” on incoming Democrat lawmaker Sarah McBride, a trans activist from Delaware formerly known as Tim McBride.

“Toxic men want to silence us [women], but we won’t shut up,” Mace told TPM. “An Antifa terrorist threatening to kill a woman—a rape victim—because she doesn’t want a man exposing himself in front of her, shows how unhinged and dangerous the far-left movement has become.”

Mace had a message for other women: “There is no room for compromise. Hold the line and fight for your rights.”

Boyle threatened murder against congresswoman Nancy Mace and British author J.K. Rowling

In addition to threatening Mace, Boyle also made threats against J.K. Rowling.

“Why is J.K. Rowling still alive?” Boyle asked in a video posted around the same time on Instagram. “That f*cking wench needs to die.”

The Harry Potter author and sexual assault survivor has been the recipient of numerous death threats by trans activists for her outspoken advocacy of women’s rights. In June, a Scottish man pleaded guilty over threatening to kill Rowling with a hammer.

Boyle continued in his video: “I think we need to hold our politicians [Trump and Mace] accountable by murdering them. And I think we need to hold J.K. Rowling accountable by murdering her too.”

Boyle then urged his trans comrades to take collective action to kill their political targets.

Under federal law, threatening elected officials can be a felony offense. TPM understands there is an active federal investigation into the threats against Mace.

Dr. Berry has been reached for comment about her Rose City Antifa group. The Pride Foundation did not respond to a request for comment.

Update: The Portland Police Bureau told TPM that it was not involved in any investigation in this matter.
