Zoey Tur Disses His Own Daughter Katy Tur: She’s ‘Transphobic’

Hanna Zoey Tur — formerly known as Robert “Bob” Tur — published a criticism of his daughter Katy Tur on Tuesday. Katy Tur is currently a correspondent for MSNBC and NBC News, regularly featured on both news media platforms.

Zoey Tur is a transgender person.

Describing his daughter Katy Tur as “transphobic” in a Facebook post, Zoey Tur’s comments indicate that he is estranged from his daughter. He also pushed the left-wing and Democrat slogan of “resist:”

Katy Tur was recently profiled by The New York Times (NYT), offering brief remarks on her relationship with her father:

When I brought up her father’s remarks, Ms. Tur went silent. After a pause, she disputed the accuracy of her father’s version and said that their rift had nothing to do with her father’s transition, and that they are speaking now. “We were not on speaking terms for a little while,” she said, “but that’s not because of the transition.”

Zoey Tur also offered remarks that were quoted in the NYT profile of his daughter:

Later, from Asia, Zoey Tur emailed me: “About my transition, I demanded early on that my children accept what even I don’t fully understand myself. No child should have to deal with a father in transition from male to female. Perhaps it will be the subject of Katy’s second book!” One day last December, she said: “Katy called to tell me she was sorry and that she loved and accepted me. We agreed to set things right and have been working on that goal.”

In 2015, Zoey Tur physically threatened then-Breitbart editor-at-large Ben Shapiro during a taping of Dr. Drew, following Shapiro’s refusal to indulge the left-wing narrative of sex and gender as functions of personal choice.
