Grammy Award winning country singer Maren Morris has
turned Tucker Carlson's pretty terrible insult against her and
the transgender community into big bucks for the transgender community.
Now, before we get into the details of how she did this and how she
succeeded in her fundraising effort, here's all the tea you need to know.
It all began when Brittany Aldean, the wife of country star Jason Aldean
made a string of insensitive posts on Instagram, okay?
So I'm gonna read those posts to you.
On august 23rd Aldean posted a video of herself doing her makeup
accompanied by the caption quote, I'd really like to thank my parents for
not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.
She added in an Instagram story advocating for
the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and
calling it gender affirming care as one of the worst evils.
I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence.
Now the idea that there are liberal parents in this country who are clamoring
to do serious invasive surgeries on their minor children is a joke, it's a lie.
It's not happening.
Gender affirming care can include things like counseling for a transgender child.
It could be hormone blockers.
So the child is an adult before he or she makes a decision about
how to proceed forward with their gender identity, okay?
So they don't go through the torture of puberty as someone who
doesn't identify with the gender they were born with.
But whatever, I'm trying to explain simple concepts to people who aren't interested
in understanding the simple concepts which is incredibly frustrating.
Now her husband jumped in on this exchange and said,
lmao I'm glad they didn't too cuz you and I wouldn't have worked out.
Her husband responded to the original.
>> Get it because he's not gay.
We're straight, got it.
Duly noted.
>> Now at this point, Maren Morris who's also a country singer jumps in and
I love what she wrote.
She writes simply, it's so easy to like not be a scumbag human,.
Sell your clip-ins and zip it, insurrection barbie.
>> Insurrection barbie, wow.
>> That was nice.
Now here's where Tucker Carlson jumps in because as a serious member of the media,
reacting to Instagram drama between country stars is what you wanna do.
And so he did a whole segment on this.
And we're gonna take a quick look at that.
And then I'll tell you how Maren Morris decided to take a bad situation and
use it to her advantage to help the transgender community.
Let's watch.
>> No sane society would have a problem with even notice words like that.
But in 2022 this is a thought crime you're required to believe that minors should be
castrated by their parents.
A lunatic called Maren Morris, some kind of fake country music singer went all
the way and then of course Brittany Aldean was attacked up and
down the American media for telling a transphobic joke, which they never quoted.
Notice how no one at all at any moment in this story advocated for
general mutilation of children, but it doesn't matter?
They used the extremist language, they paid a picture,
they instill fear in the minds of their already paranoid audience members,
but nonetheless, this is what ended up happening.
Maren Morris decided to take a screenshot of that segment and
used it to her advantage, posted it on twitter.
So there it is, hashtag new profile pic, looking good with the whole
lower third from Fox News saying lunatic country music person.
>> By the way, I love how they're pretending to be down with the people and
populist and the right wingers love country music.
They're like what is this country music person you speak of?
>> Yeah, she's a fake country music singer.
>> Because if you're a real country of course you would hate gay people.
But since she doesn't hate gay or transgender people,
she's a fake country music person.
>> So she ended up making t shirts with that caption with that lower third, okay?
The singer launched a t shirt that reads Maren Morris lunatic country music person,
followed by the phone number for the trans lifeline hotline.
All sales proceeds are to be split between the trans Lifeline and
glad transgender media program.
Morris announced via Instagram stories that the shirts had raised $63,000 and
went on to exceed more than $100,000 in just 15 hours.
So she does this fundraiser, she takes lemons, makes lemonade out
of it helps the transgender community in an actual substantive way.
And look, maybe this doesn't matter as much, it matters to me.
It's really important to have people go rogue in communities that
are usually traditionally conservative, right?
So she's a country music singer and I can't imagine the backlash she
probably received for taking a stance here, taking a stand against
the bigotry that she's seeing within the country music world.
And I love strength, I love strong people especially love strong women.
So I love what she did here and I wanna see more of it, more power to you.
>> Yeah Ditto on, I love strong folks fighting back.
And I like this, she trolled them back lik.
Don't take them too seriously and slap back right proverbially.
And and so by the way, we do likewise, some of Anna's rants are on shop TYT.com.
Check it out, okay.
And then but most importantly, well I love that she fought back and
raised money for it.
So that's the right way to do it.
But I have to note.
So Tucker Carlson says this all the time.
This is now several segments where we've covered,
where he says, the left wants you to mutilate your children.
They wanna mutilate their own children, etcetera.
I mean, we're used to right wingers being the worst people on earth and
saying things that are outrageously false like unbelievable lies all the time.
So we're just like, yeah, obviously.
No, not obviously.
What kind of lunatic says that?
That's not even remotely true.
And you're trying to get all the idiots who watch you,
which is probably about 100% of your audience to believe that
people on the left actually wanna mutilate the genitals of kids.
They probably believe it.
>> Yeah, they do believe it.
>> You've got millions of people to believe a monstrous lie to the point,
if you I believe that, I would probably wanna take physical action, right?
And so you got a bunch of gun nuts, and
you got stoked him up with this propaganda, this hatred.
He's just an absolute fascist 100%.
>> And let's juxtapose that by the way, there lies to what conservatives have
advocated for in this country toward children who happen to be gay.
They were furious that states started banning
electroshock therapy on gay Children.
Okay, A disgusting, unproven vicious
method to turn gay kids into straight kids.
You can do that obviously, and it was horrific that that was going on in this
country, that Children were being tortured with electroshock therapy, but
the right wing supported that they had no problem with that.
The thing is they have no issue with being violent and vicious with Children.
They don't like, okay, including trans Children,
let's just keep it real by the way, one of our members made a great comment the last
time we covered tucker Carlson saying that they said,
you know what really mutilates Children in this country?
A R Fifteens, yep.
And every time that you get the kids in Sandy Hook,
you've all day and all those schools get mutilated,
just shredded to the point where you can't recognize their face, you can't I.
D. Them because they are 15 bullet just blew
up their heads, tucker Carlson rushes on air and says,
Second Amendment Rights, Second Amendment Rights.
I've got a hobby.
We shoot feral hogs.
Yes.
Keep they ar fifteen's, who cares if it shreds your Children and
mutilates them and it murders them.
I have a hobby, and one day I'd like to use my Air 15
against government tyranny to murder cops and people in the military.
And by the way, I'm outraged at Colin Kaepernick, They never make any sense.
They're natural born fascists, and they should be treated as such
