MAGA Melts Down at Dem Star’s NSFW Fox Interview

"We already trust parents with the decision to cut off part of a penis, you just want to argue about how much."

Beautiful, honestly.

Edit: I should point out that I'm paraphrasing to anyone not reading the article.

Whether your agree or disagree with either position, this interview only solidified your views. And that's the real work of right wing media. They don't convince anyone who doesn't want to be convinced; they draw the lines that divide us, force you onto a side. Because nuance and uncertainty are poisonous to the status quo, and conservatives love the status quo.

I don't think such media is worth your time. I think certainty is the enemy.

The exchange escalated sharply when Watters pressed El-Sayed on gender-affirming care for minors. “Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked. El-Sayed, a doctor and former public health official, responded, “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.” Watters pushed further, asking, “So you think it’s OK for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” El-Sayed shot back, “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”

A visibly caught-off-guard Watters replied, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.” When Watters argued circumcision is “different than castration,” El-Sayed maintained his point.

“I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling,” he said. By bringing up circumcision, El-Sayed was attempting to argue that society already accepts parental rights and medical decision-making regarding surgical procedures on a minor’s genitalia, and that the government should not single out specific healthcare choices. But his clunky comparison gave Watters an in.

The host called the comparison “wacky,” telling El-Sayed, “Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff.”

The interview quickly drew a swarm of reactions from conservative media figures. YouTuber Benny Johnson wrote on X that El-Sayed had shocked Watters by “demanding to know if Fox News host is CIRCUMCISED live on-air,” adding, “I’ve never seen more of a nightmare interview.”

Commentator Nick Sortor wrote, “Abdul El-Sayed says CIRCUMCISION is the same thing as SEX CHANGES FOR MINORS. These people are SICK.”

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who served as White House press secretary during Donald Trump’s first term, said, “This is the radical left. This is who they are. Insane and sad."

Commentator Clay Travis wrote, “Holy s--t, Abdul El-Sayed said circumcision is similar to sex change operations on minors.

”Former White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson piled on as well, writing that El-Sayed was “2 for 2 on comparisons that make him look like an absolute insane person.”

Conservative strategist Mike Davis was blunter still.“Goodbye, Abdul,” he wrote. “You just guaranteed your defeat. Dingaling.”

MAGA melts down

Fuck off. No they didn't. I very much doubt that 95% of MAGA even saw this interview, and the remaining 5% made their own conclusions.

Why do we allow Daily Beast here? They are nothing but click-bait of the worst kind.

Honestly worth a watch. Most people won't learn much they didn't already know, but it's a pretty satisfying takedown.

MAGA thinks they smell blood in the water on the trans issue, so that's their chosen wedge issue for the foreseeable future. I'm the past it was abortion, flag burning, kneeling, gay adoption, gay marriage, gay gayness, etc.

The proper answer to any trans nonsense is: "I am not a doctor, and I won't presume to interfere with the medical decisions between any patient and their doctor, on any subject. I have absolutely no opinions on this subject, and do not consider it an appropriate subject for a political discussion. It is an appalling and indefensible political strategy to use any medical issue as a political talking point, so I'm not interested in your opinion either."

That works for ANY medical issue, including abortion.

I like how Fox news likes to put question marks on their headlines. Breaking: Democrats to use ground up aborted Christian baby fetuses to feed illegal transgender athletes? We never said that was happening we're just asking the tough questions.

Just imagine all the things we could get done if these people stopped manufacturing outrage at every turn.

NSFW?

I guess that's what you can call Jesse Watters being a bratty little bitch and getting butt fucked in front of God and everyone for it on national TV.
