    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
