This is why the country is in the shape it’s in. Instead of tackling issues like white collar jobs disappearing and the difficulty in finding a job, the rich pay right wing outlets to jangle the keys over trans people and immigrants to distract the slow wits from realizing their tax dollars are going to buy the CEO of Lockheed Martin a yacht.
And now I gotta worry about the president bribing people to vote against their interests when he’s never gonna give the money anyway! I hate America.
Yes it's absolutely ridiculous this has become a question our federal government needs to weigh in on and even more ridiculous that it's even a debate at all
Fun fact, confronting Watters this way basically made him question his whole job live during the 5 later on that week haha. Basically boycotting any Fox coverage of the WNBA cuz it really just isn’t news. Sports news, sure. But not political.
Wait, they interviewed mamdani again or its the same interview from a few weeks ago? Because if he got interviewed again i can only see it as "my boses want me to destroy you but they are to dumb to notice that this in fact is good publicity for you so i want you back on purpose
“That depends, will men playing women’s sports lower the cost of groceries or is it the cause of increased prices? The answer will determine my response.”
It's so sad that it works. The entire world could be burning, gas $10 a gallon, WWIII, meteor headed to earth -and right wing says "Arent you outraged about bathrooms?" and their viewers are like "Yes, I made the right choice."
They can only argue the bullshit. They have nothing of substance to offer. It's why they're terrified of social welfare policies because once they're enacted and properly run it'll be the most damning evidence of Republican failure.
If the Dems had simply ALWAYS responded like this, we would probably have flying cars and fully automated luxury space communism by now. "Hey Fox host, why are you asking me about what some stranger has in their pants, eh? I'll tell you what they don't have in their pants: healthcare and living wages. Ass."
the correct answer to the fascist's question: "are you a fucking idiot? and yes that was rhetorical you stupid prick. the fuck does that have to do with anything when we're talking about national and global crises?"
Why doesn't every interview ask him why he stalked that woman? Like "why are we talking about transgender women in sports instead of men who stalk women by letting the air out of their car tires?"
as if it's new. Hell. back when fuck off carlson was the face of FOX, they were sued repeatedly. One got the charges dropped by arguing that "no reasonable person would take them seriously"
That station should be illegal. The sheer damage caused to society by Fox News and those like it is unfathomable. You can't yell fire in a theatre, but a media apparatus designed to bring about fascist authoritarianism is okay?
The conservative "comedy" 'Ladyballers' was originally intended to be a documentary in which they entered a team of all men into a women's competition in order to expose the 'truth' that they've convinced themselves of. But no competition would accept them, because they didn't meet the requirements, and meeting those requirements would require extensive body changing hormone therapy that they were unwilling to undertake.
The billionaires need the culture war so that the majority of the electorate wont vote for people who will regulate their businesses and tax their wealth.
It's missing the part where Watters asked if El-Sayed is ok with mutilating children's genitals, and El-Sayed asked, "Are you circumcized?" And Watters had no fucking idea how to respond.
the Correct Answer is: "Trump has more felony convictions by himself than there are men in women's sports. There were more assaults on January 6th than there are men in women's sports. There are more centimillionaires in the Epstein Files than there are men in women's sports. Hegseth murdered more schoolgirls in his War Crime in Iran than there are men in women's sports. "
Or to just say that there are no men in women's sports, and that is not possible for a man to enter. Trans women have to meet a strict criteria to enter, and are themselves women, so there are no men in women's sports.
This idea that men (or even trans women) who haven't undergone any kind of hormone therapy are entering sports with a huge advantage and dominating the field is absolute nonsense.
Cis man does what every one says they're afraid a cis man will do. No trans women involved. Why that means we should create 547 laws about trans women. More of what you care about at 11, don't touch that dial
The correct answer is, "People need affordable healthcare. People need safe food and clean water. People need education. People need livable wages and available employment. Poeple need social services and libraries. Shut up about the false and irrelevant narrative about 'men in women's sports' "
Unfortunately, there are enough people who take Fox News seriously, and Watters knows he needs to be thankful for that because otherwise he'd be making a living being an extra in shitty Kevin Sorbo Christian movies...if he's lucky.
Thing is, if fewer people took Faux News seriously there'd also be fewer shitty Kevin Sorbo Christian movies cause the venn diagram between those two viewership markets is quite nearly a circle.

Do I think it’s a good idea for trans women to play in cis women sports. No.
Am I going to vote for people that push that agenda. Also no.

I thought he could've diced up that idiot, Jesse Watters, a bit more brutally. He had chances to go for the kill but went easy on the creepy dumbfuck.

So it became a fictional comedy instead.

I really hope Michigan elects this guy cause if he's even 1/10th the dog in Congress as he's currently showing? That'd be a *nice* change.

I live in Detroit amd the vibe for him here is amazing. I'm voting for him and hope he wins, too.

Whoa, downtown, Wayne county? That’s amazing news; he didn’t do as well there for the primaries. Here’s hoping!!

I'm so surprised he didn't! Moved here from Ohio, it's been amazing to have someone like hit to vote for. Here's hoping.

Right?? I’d freaking love a Michigan Mamdani. Feels good to actually emphatically believe in who I cast my vote for in November.

There are no men in women's sports that I've ever heard of, only trans girls about .001% of the time, so yes that must absolutely be true ✨💕

Guess she's a woman now. They don't require testing. Just that she identify.
The article is pointing out clear and stated fraudulent behavior. The article states Avi falsely identified.
So no, trans women didn't beat a record. A cis man took an opportunity to miss an entire point.
