4:38Now PlayingFox News recently ran a special about a family and their transgender child that wasn't critical of the child or the family. Because of this "pro-transgender" segment, conservatives had an absolute meltdown. But Sebastian Gorka, a former contributor to the network, was one of the loudest crybabies about the segment, and he went as far as to demand that people actually be thrown in jail for making the special. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why conservatives are such delicate snowflakes.

Sebastian Gorka who actually used to be a paid Fox news contributor came out this past week and actually called for Fox news staff, possibly even including on air staff to be jailed because the network actually ran a segment that spoke positively about a family whose child transitioned genders, and this Gorka off something fierce. And now he wants everyone involved with this little segment. The one time Fox news, wasn't being a, you know, just bastion of bigotry. He wants people thrown in jail for it. Here's what Gorka had to say. I'll go a step further. You should be charged with promulgating, the abuse of children, just like somebody who's spreading child porn on the internet. Anyone involved in transitioning a child should be arrested for child abuse. Okay. You know, I'm gonna have to correct you just real quick. Cuz you said just like people with child porn, you should be arrested for child abuse. Um, possession of child pornography, just distribution of child pornography is itself the crime. You don't actually charge those people with child abuse. So if you're gonna say that we need to enforce a law. You may want to go ahead and get those laws straight in your head because they're, those are not exactly the same things. Um, here's the thing. Gender dysphoria
Is actually a real thing. Scientists, medical professionals, in fact, recognize that seeking treatment for this is the humane thing to do. Because again, it is a recognized, I don't wanna say I'm trying to think of the best word. It is a recognized condition. So as a recognized condition, much like a flu much like, you know a cancer. If you get diagnosed with this, it's confirmed, this is who you are. Or this is what you have in some cases of illnesses, you get treatment for it. So why can we not do the same thing and give gender affirming care to these children who have gone through the evaluations? They have talked with their families. They have talked with their doctors. It's the same thing. As if a child were to come down with leukemia, it wouldn't be child abuse to put that kid through chemotherapy. It is the treatment for the condition, but these people wanna make this into some big deal. They wanna make it into their personal business. It is none of your business. If somebody wants to transition, they should be allowed to that's the bottom line.
It doesn't matter. The reasons they don't have to justify anything to you because it's none of your business. You know, Republicans have for decades, always, you know, promoted themselves as the party of small government. There is nobody more in favor of big government than conservatives. And that is what goca is saying here. We wanna put our government in your kids' pants is what goca wants to do. That's what conservatives want. They are more obsessed with children's genitals than anyone I have ever seen in my life. Think about it that way. Maybe that's how we start framing it. Why do you Gorka? Why do you Matt Walsh, who was the one who threw the biggest temper tantrum about this Fox news segment? Why are y'all so obsessed with kids? Genitals?
