On Monday's edition of CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront, host Erin Burnett and her panelists tore into Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for the grave sin of holding companies accountable that seek to sexually exploit and indoctrinate children for the left's political gain. Most notably, panelist and co-host of The View Alyssa Farah Griffin defended parents who want to abuse their children by bringing them to drag shows and beclowned herself by admitting that she "love[s] drag."
Burnett turned to left-wing radical Van Jones on the drag queen story hour topic and falsely claimed: “this is not a big thing, okay.”
She then added: “But to the extent that it is something that comes up, there are a lot of parents who may not be Republican or right-wing Republican or whoever who might be uncomfortable with that. Is it a smart issue to pick it? So in other words, so that you as a Democrat aren't put in a position of defending why 6-year-olds should be allowed to go to drag queens?”
Jones deflected from the question posed to him and whined: “It's cynical. And it's the kind of cynical thing a bully does. It speaks poorly to his character. I don't think that the biggest threat to American children is some drag queen thing.”
Proving why he was ousted from office and that his own party apparently can't even stand him, Mondaire Jones cried: “If Ron DeSantis were worried about the safety of young children in the state of Florida, he would not be making it easier now to do permitless carry, right? In a spate of mass shootings all throughout this country.”
Next up was failed former Congressman Adam Kinzinger who said he has no problem with little children attending drag shows so long as they are doing it with parental permission. “People have a choice,” Kinzinger proclaimed.
No, you don’t have the right to abuse your underage children. We have child protection laws for a reason.
Finally, the most insane commentary was predictably given by The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.
At first, it started off promising when Griffin said she’s “not comfortable with the idea of a 6-year-old being at a drag show.”
But then it took a turn for the worse when she embarrassed herself by admitting “I love drag. I'm 33. So, let's not ban it.”
“Let’s not have the heavy hand of the state come in and make a decision for parents. This seems like conservatism 101. Let the parent opt-in to what they want their kids to have exposure to,” Griffin lectured.
If that’s "conservatism 101" then conservatism deserves to die a swift death. But luckily that’s not what conservatism stands for.
This shouldn't be a political issue. Children don't belong at drag shows. Period.
CNN’s promotion of children being allowed to attend sexually explicit degenerate drag shows was made possible thanks to the endorsement of Lincoln. Their information is linked.

2/6/2023
9:28:27 p.m. EasternERIN BURNETT: Drag queen story hour, this is not a big thing, okay. But to the extent that it is something that comes up, there are a lot of parents who may not be Republican or right-wing Republican or whoever who might be uncomfortable with that. Is it a smart issue to pick it? So in other words, so that you as a Democrat aren't put in a position of defending why 6-year-olds should be allowed to go to drag queens?
VAN JONES: It's cynical. And it's the kind of cynical thing a bully does. It speaks poorly to his character. I don't think that the biggest threat to American children is some drag queen thing.
BURNETT: Yep.
JONES: We got American kids going to bed hungry. We got American kids who don't know what's going to happen to them tomorrow. But you pick on somebody, and you take their pain, and you use that for your own benefit, it's a character issue for him, and I think it's wrong.
MONDAIRE JONES: If Ron DeSantis were worried about the safety of young children in the state of Florida, he would not be making it easier now to do permitless carry, right? In a spate of mass shootings all throughout this country. Instead, he’s focused on things that are going to divide this country in the hope that it will somehow allow him to outflank Donald Trump in the Republican primary that remains to be seen. It's plausible.
ADAM KINZINGER: The one thing you do have to take into account is are parents allowed to have input in their kids' education here. Is this something that kids, this drag queen story hour, and I don't know all the details of it, are kids basically being put in front of that without parents having an input, are parents being surprised at what that is? That I have a problem with. But I don't have a problem is people doing things that they have a right and freedom to do.
BURNETT: A choice.
KINZINGER: People have a choice.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Well, that’s the difference. Therein lies the difference of actual conservatism. I'm not comfortable with the idea of a 6-year-old being at a drag show. I love drag. I'm 33. So, let's not ban it. Let’s not have the heavy hand of the state come in and make a decision for parents. This seems like conservatism 101. Let the parent opt-in to what they want their kids to have exposure to.
