On Thursday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show,” Knowles lambasts the Left&#8217;s acceptance of “Drag Queen Story Hour.” Video and partial transcript below:
They had a “Drag Queen Story Hour” at an event in Portland. And the library is celebrating, and they&#8217;re posting photos of it. We were told, those of us who objected to “Drag Queen Story Hour,” we&#8217;re told: You&#8217;re awful, you&#8217;re bigots, you&#8217;re transphobic. You [are] a hateful person, [and] you&#8217;re hate-mongering. That big debate that broke out on the right — between Sohrab Ahmari at First Things and David French at National Review, over cultural conservatism versus libertarianism — that debate was kicked off by drag queens story hour. Sohrab Ahmari&#8217;s piece said, look, when we reach drag queens story hour for children, we have gone too far. We need to reexamine some of our libertarian premises. And what Sohrab Ahmari and other people were saying is this. This amounts to child abuse. &#8230; Maybe it&#8217;s not physically abusing children, but it is so confusing. It is so utterly absurd, the ideology and the gender ideology that you&#8217;re indoctrinating these kids with. We should not do it, [we are] all called haters for that. Well, guess what, turns out that the photos have now been deleted &#8230;
