Who's Carrie Prejean?
That's the right question.
[LAUGH] But for those of you who
might have forgotten who she is,
I'll remind you.
Former Miss USA contestant,
Carrie Prejean, who became
some sort of right wing martyr
after she said she was against same
sex marriage back in 2009,
is now coming back into
the limelight for right wingers.
Because she is giving these
impassioned speeches at school
board meetings because she wants to
ensure that kids are not protected
from the novel coronavirus.
Let's watch.
>> My name is Carrie Boller.
You see my shirt, it says mama, and
I'm a mama bear.
I know there's a lot of mamas with
us here tonight, and no one's
going to mess with our cubs.
And tonight, I'm simply here
to tell you to unmask our children.
We're done begging.
In fact, we're done asking for
permission.
>> That's right. >> We are going to
be unmasking our children today.
>> That's right.
>> The pandemic is over.
The parents are done.
We're done asking
you public servants for permission.
We are done.
You can all wear your masks.
In fact, you can wear two masks and
three masks, you can wear gloves,
you can have plexiglass.
You can do whatever you need to do
to keep you safe.
But we, the parents,
believe we have a choice for
our children.
And I don't know who you think you
are, that you think that
you have more of a say than us
the parents and our doctors.
I don't know who any of you think
you are.
I really don't, it ends today.
>> Okay, so what about the parents
who aren't morons?
So what about the parents who want
their kids to be safe in school?
What about the parents who want to
send their kids to school and
ensure that everyone's masked?
Because coronavirus is very much
real and the number of children who
are being hospitalized,
thanks to the Delta variant and
thanks to idiotic commentary,
like the one we just heard from
a former beauty pageant contestant,
is getting people sick,
getting kids sick,
getting additional adults sick.
So look, if people don't want their
children in a mask,
by all means home school them,
take them out of school and
home school them.
But there are all sorts of rules,
regulations, laws,
that these parents literally have
to abide by because if they don't,
they could face legal consequences.
For instance, you have to put your
children in school.
Children have to be educated, okay?
Well, they don't
have to be educated.
We know that a lot of people end up
not being educated, unfortunately.
But my point is, you don't get to
pull your kids out of a public
school or a private school or
school in general, and
then just keep them at home.
You have to home school them,
that's an actual law, okay, so
you don't get a choice in that,
that's what the rules are.
But when it comes to a contagious
virus, I just find it fascinating
that something as simple as wearing
a mask is making their heads
explode.
It's very likely that her kids had
to show proof of vaccination before
being admitted into whatever school
they're going to,
much like I had to do.
I had to be vaccinated for polio,
tetanus.
There are other things that I can't
pronounce, but
why is this happening?
>> But that's different though,
because when that was happening we
didn't yet
know that the only thing that makes
a good patriot is flipping
out about public health measures.
That's all it is.
>> Mama bear.
>> First of all,
stop with the mama bear stuff.
I think that we're good.
Why not?
Here's something, be a mama,
that's good, because the thing
about mama bears is they have cubs.
Well yeah, but you have a kid,
why is that not good enough?
And second of all,
it's one thing to couch all of
your, I should be allowed
to cough deadly germs in your face,
rhetoric in I should be free.
It's nonsensical,
it's not what freedom means, but
at least I sort of get it.
But when you try to couch it in,
nothing's going to stop me from
protecting my kid as you argue for
why your kid should be exposed to
a virus, that doesn't really work.
It just doesn't.
And I know everybody wants to make
a splash in these videos,
they want to sound cool, so they do
the cliched rhetorical tricks.
But when she's saying, we're done
begging, we're done asking, I don't
think you were ever begging.
I don't think you were ever asking.
I think that you've probably
been pretty unbearable about
this from day one.
I think that that's the whole vibe
that we're getting from you.
And the, who do you think you are?
I think they're in charge.
That is a very classic Kareny
sort of thing to say.
Why do you think you get to say,
Officer Jones,
whether I can shoplift or not?
Well, that's how it works.
That's how regulations and
laws actually function in
the real world.
And she presumably,
wants to be a part of society in
most areas of life.
But she believes that either
personally, this is a thing for
her to be interested in, or maybe
it'll get her on Fox News again.
That's what this is really about.
And if a couple
of kids have to get sick and
die, that is a cost that many of
these people are willing to pay.
>> Later in the video she goes on
about the deep state and
all sorts of insane right wing
conspiracy theories.
And who knows,
maybe she realized her 15 minutes
were up, 15 years ago and she wants
to be back in the limelight.
So congratulations, Carrie Prejean,
you're back in the spotlight,
but unfortunately,
you have not improved.
She's only devolved further,
which is pretty depressing and
upsetting.
