JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Listen to this guy, who doesn’t have kids but is a concerned uncle, tear into a local school board this week in California.
What was on the t-shirt that read there? It was like—was it, “Gays against grooming. Groom dogs?” What was that?
MARIO PRESENTS (GUEST): “Groom dogs, not kids.” Which, I was a pet stylist so I know all about handling pets and making them look pretty. And we love that, we love a pretty pet. But we don’t love kids being sexual. We don’t love kids, confusing them. We want kids to just be themselves. The “Gays Against Groomers” has this great mantra, “Save the tomboys,” because little girls can be rough and tumble. They don’t have to have their body parts chopped off just because they’re a little more masculine than their other counterparts.
