Christine Doherty, Super Happy Fun America organizer and known failure, celebrated the results of a bomb threat that shut down a DQSH she protested, took credit for said shutdown, then deleted evidence after having to denounce the bomb threat that actually shut down said event!

A pair of images, side-by-side. The first is a campaign ad for Christine Doherty, undated, as she ran for the Massachusetts Republican State Committeewoman in the 2nd Middlesex District. It includes a poorly-cropped image of Doherty and a generic United-States-flag-themed background. The second is a screenshot of the official results from the 2024 race, depicting Doherty losing to Patricia Brady Doherty, 1910 to 3572. https://electionstats.state.ma.us/elections/view/160857/
A screenshot from a post on Facebook from Christine H. Doherty. Her statement is as follows: "I am thrilled to announce that the Drag Queen Story Hour for Children ages 4-8 event at the Somerville Public Library was CANCELLED!! VICTORY!! Thank you to me three Super Happy Fun America sisters and one surprise guest for actually showing up to protest with me. Per usual, we rocked it! [punching fist emoji] [raised fist emoji] [hashtag "leave the kids alone"]" It includes images of counter-protesters bearing pride flags and clad in rainbows. She has since deleted this post.
A screenshot from WCVB's news story on the bomb threat to the Somerville Public Library. It reads: "'We are relieved that today’s drag queen story hour for 4- to 8-year-old children at the Somerville Public Library was cancelled. It is our goal to preserve children’s innocence and we did show up to peacefully voice our objections to the event. We do, however, denounce the action of a bomb threat being called in, especially at a children’s event. We have no connection to the caller,' Christine Doherty, Director of Operations for Super Happy Fun America, wrote in a statement."

If my goals were aligned with those of someone making bomb threats to local libraries, to the point me & my buddies were inadvertently taking credit for what the threats actually got done, I'd self-reflect for a bit! What's left of the SHFA crew aren't those kinds of people.

The threat, which is now under investigation, followed a protest and demonstration of support at the library.
