Watters is so grating in his speech, can't watch it, but it's impressive to see someone put up with him for a half hour

Things went off the rails when Watters asked the progressive if he supports gender-affirming surgery for those under 18 years old.

“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn't tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”

“So you think it's okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.

El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”

The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”

Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”

Watters called El-Sayed’s comment “wacky,” adding, “Abdul, Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff.”

Holy shit what an inane hypocrite. I swear conservatives are going to give me an aneurysm

"No, we only cut the foreskin off, not the whole penis! We aren't crazy."

Sweet Satan, if only he could hear himself.

If he had any foreskin it was burnt! (I too lament a lack of foreskin, so whatever)

I find it darkly humorous that ribbed condoms are meant to simulate a foreskin. Yes, our culture removes the foreskin, but they'll sell you a fake one to replace it!
