Democratic Massachusetts Auditor Sues Her Own Party After They Ignore 72% Of Voters
'Protect the people, not the politicians'
Trump threatens Republican lawmakers after 6 defy him in House vote on Canada tariffs
Six congressional Republicans joined 213 Democrats on Wednesday in voting to effectively kill President Donald Trump's Canada tariffs.
Although House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) downplayed the president's ire over the act, Trump appeared sufficiently peeved on Truth Social, where he threatened the political futures of those GOP lawmakers who stood out of line.
The background
On his first day back in office, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border. The following month, he issued an executive order expanding the scope of the national emergency to address perceived drug-related threats at America's northern border, claiming that Canada's response to the alleged threats was unsatisfactory.
Citing the need for "decisive and immediate action," he slapped 25% tariffs on various goods from Canada except for oil and gas, which he slapped with a 10% tariff. In July, Trump increased the tariff rate from 25% to 35%.
'They are among the worst in the World to deal with.'
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have complained about the tariffs in the months since, and in October, four Republican senators joined their Democrat colleagues in passing a resolution disapproving of the president's tariffs on imports from Canada.
The vote
The House passed a resolution on Wednesday evening to terminate the national emergency declared on Feb. 1 in a 219-211 vote — several hours after House Speaker Mike Johnson warned against "trying to limit the president's power while he is in the midst of negotiating American First trade agreements,"
The six Republicans who helped pass the resolution were Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Don Bacon (Neb.), Kevin Kiley (Calif.), Jeff Hurd (Co.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), and Dan Newhouse (Wash.).
The resolution is headed now to the Senate, where it stands a good chance of passing given the upper chamber's track record. Trump can, however, ultimately veto it — and it appears unlikely that either chamber has the requisite two-thirds majority support to surmount a veto.

Newhouse explained his decision on Wednesday evening, stating, "Washington State’s economy is heavily intertwined with that of our neighbors to the North. Canada is our state’s second largest export market with billions of dollars in Washington commodities being sold there every year."
In addition to complaining about rising prices and the fallout of reciprocal tariffs, Newhouse noted that "Congress should not tie its own hands on our Constitutional authority to levy tariffs."
Hurd volunteered an even lengthier defense wherein he stressed that "Article I gives Congress the authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and to levy tariffs" and that the normalization of "broad emergency trade powers today" would enable future presidents to "rely on the same authority in ways many of us would strongly oppose."
"I support the goal of strengthening American industry. Where I differ is on the method," noted Hurd.
Bacon said ahead of the vote that Congress should not "outsource our responsibilities" and that "tariffs are a tax on American consumers."
Kiley suggested to CBS News that his opposition came down to protecting "the powers that belong to our branch of government."
Massie, who has repeatedly defied Trump, stated that his goal "is to defend the Constitution and represent the people" and that "taxing authority is vested in the House of Representatives, not the Executive."
The reaction
In the immediate wake of the vote, Mike Johnson told CNN that the president was "not upset. I just left the White House. He understands what’s going on. It’s not going to affect or change his policy. He can veto these things if they come to it."
Trump did, however, evidence some vexation, writing on Truth Social, "Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!"
"TARIFFS have given us Great National Security because the mere mention of the word has Countries agreeing to our strongest wishes," continued Trump. "TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege."
Trump's anger spilled over into another post, where he noted, "Canada has taken advantage of the United States on Trade for many years. They are among the worst in the World to deal with, especially as it relates to our Northern Border."
"TARIFFS make a WIN for us, EASY. Republicans must keep it that way!" added the president.

Stopping the steal: Sen. Lee, Republicans demand Election Day integrity ahead of SCOTUS fight over 'rolling' ballot counts
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on March 23 regarding whether federal Election Day law pre-empts a state law allowing election workers to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day.
A band of conservatives including Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) urge the high court in an amicus brief to be filed on Thursday to consider the inevitable harms that would follow permitting states to flout the Constitution and render Election Day little more than an "abstraction," Blaze News has exclusively learned.
'Congress chose one day for federal elections, and one day only.'
The case in question, Watson v. Republican National Committee, is the result of a years-long battle over a COVID-era Mississippi law passed by the Magnolia State's Republican trifecta that permits the counting of mail-in absentee ballots postmarked by the date of the election but received up to five business days after Election Day.
The RNC and the Mississippi GOP stressed at the outset that mail-in voting is "starkly polarized by party" and "the late-arriving mail-in ballots that are counted for five additional days disproportionately break for Democrats."
While it has narrowed since 2020, the partisan divide in mail-in voting remained substantial in the 2024 election — which helps explain why so many Democrat-aligned groups have defended the practice and the Mississippi law.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled against Mississippi in October 2024, stating that its late-ballot counting statute was pre-empted by federal law. Last year, however, the state asked SCOTUS to get involved and reinstate its post-Election Day grace period.
RELATED: Lone Republican defies Trump, votes to tank the SAVE Act
Mississippi maintains that late counts are acceptable as "federal election-day statutes require only that the voters cast their ballots by election day" — that "an election requires ballot casting — not ballot receipt."
Sen. Lee, eight other GOP senators, and 15 congressional Republicans joined the American Center for Law and Justice in filing an amicus brief on Thursday in support of the legal challenge, underscoring that Mississippi's absentee ballot scheme threatens the electoral reliability and uniformity "foundational to democratic government."
Lee said in a statement to Blaze News, "Congress, exercising its constitutional authority to set the times, places, and manner of federal elections, designated one federal Election Day."
"States counting ballots received after Election Day clearly violate the certainty, finality, and trust Congress intended to establish by having nationwide elections take place on one set date," continued the senator.
The brief:
- emphasizes that the purpose of the relevant federal Election Day statutes "was and is to prevent voter fraud and state manipulation of federal elections and to promote uniformity in the selection of federal officers";
- rejects "the notion that strict construction of this arrangement violates principles of federalism"; and
- seeks to show "how, absent strict construction of the Election Day Statutes, there is no limiting principle and thus the Constitution's Election Clause would be meaningless or unenforceable."
"A Constitution that so jealously rationed federal power chose, in this specific domain, to speak unequivocally: Congress would have the last word in the 'Times' of Elections for federal officers," says the brief. "Congress exercised that power here. It picked a day. One day."
The brief intimated that should the state law and the corresponding legal interpretation stand, the "very evils Congress enacted the Election Day statutes to prevent — rolling elections, strategic voting, and prolonged uncertainty" — would be likely become inevitable.
The brief suggests further that to treat Election Day as a "philosophical concept untethered to actual deadlines" would liberate states from much-needed guardrails and render them "free to continue the election well beyond the Congressional mandated election day."
"Congress chose one day for federal elections, and one day only," the brief says in closing. "The counting of late-arrived ballots [flouts] this choice by altering the pool of received votes after Election Day, in other words, by changing the results of an election that has already taken place."
Sen. Lee noted that he looks forward "to the Supreme Court recognizing that states are not permitted to conduct interminable rolling elections with late-arriving ballot surprises that invite fraud and undermine trust in American elections."
Should the high court affirm that federal law pre-empts the state law, 18 other states would likely be impacted.

CNN analyst has some really bad news for liberals hoping for a MAGA collapse: 'Ain't going nowhere'
Liberal activist Michael Moore stated in 2016 that then-candidate Donald Trump was the "human Molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for — the human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them."
Moore, ever a cynic, suggested that if ultimately lobbed by the American people into the White House, Trump would neither deliver on his promises nor prove very effective as president.
'What he brought into the GOP looks like it's going to last long beyond him.'
To the chagrin of Moore and other liberal activists whose prognostications in recent years have aged like milk, Trump has not only delivered on many of his promises and shaken the foundations of the unworkable liberal order but fathered a movement that threatens to continue delivering on his promise of a "Golden Age" by leaning further into a muscular and nationalistic conservatism.
Politicos on both the left and right are betting on the collapse of the Make America Great Again movement in the coming years, especially after Trump leaves office. Unfortunately for them, the restorative fire set by the "human Molotov cocktail" in 2016 appears to be burning as intensely as ever.
CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, indicated on Thursday that the MAGA movement "is as powerful as it has ever been," particularly where the GOP is concerned.
Enten told talking head Sara Sidner that whereas a Marquette University poll found that 74% of Republicans viewed MAGA favorably two years ago, polling now indicates that 78% of Republicans hold a favorable view of the political movement.
RELATED: Which way after Trump? 'Strong Gods' may offer the solution.
"We're talking about something that, in my opinion, will very much be able to outlast Donald Trump," said Enten. "Trump is in term number two. He can't run for a term number three. But the bottom line is this: What he brought into the GOP looks like it's going to last long beyond him."
After noting that "it's a very populist movement," Sidner asked what the GOP felt about Vance serving as "the next standard-bearer of this movement."
Enten noted that Vance is presently the favorite for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 "because the Republican base loves JD Vance."
"What are we talking about here? Someone who really represents the Make America Great Again movement," continued Enten.
"A year ago, his favorable rating among Republicans — 81%. Latest Marquette University Law School poll, look at this, 84%. Eighty-four percent! So if anything, his favorable rating is somewhat up from where it was a year ago after a year of Trump."
As for the GOP's relationship with the current standard-bearer, Enten indicated that whereas 62% of Republicans said Trump was a good influence on the party before he ran for his second term, that number has since jumped to 71%.
Enten noted that while there are many people on the left who'd like to think the influence of Trump and the MAGA movement on the GOP is waning, that's simply not the case.
"Donald Trump, MAGA, JD Vance — they ain't going nowhere when it comes to the GOP," added Enten.

Democratic Senate candidate’s ‘satanic’ use of scripture to defend abortion MUST be challenged
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico made blasphemous comments on “The Joe Rogan Experience” where he used scripture to justify abortion — and BlazeTV host Steve Deace believes it’s high time our political candidates can stand up to it.
“I say all this in context of abortion because before God comes over Mary and we have the Incarnation, God asks for Mary’s consent, which is remarkable. I mean, go back and read this in Luke. I mean, the angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something she wants to do, and she says, ‘If it is God’s will, let it be done, let it be,’” Talarico told Rogan in July of last year.
“So to me that is an affirmation in one of our most central stories that creation has to be done with consent. You cannot force someone to create. Creation is one of the most sacred acts that we engage in as human beings. But that has to be done with consent. It has to be done with freedom,” he continued.
“To me that is absolutely consistent with the ministry and life and death of Jesus,” he added.
“I can see why given the current state of much of the church, they think this. And Talarico is just another step of that phase that we’re in now,” Deace says on the “Steve Deace Show.”
“But one of the things that we’re going to have to be more prepared for than ever before is nominating candidates who can stand up to that,” he continues, explaining that we cannot allow “the faith to be hijacked and redefined.”
“We’re up against a rival religion here. And this is not any different than the whole thing, every Christmastime, that Joseph and Mary were refugees. No, they weren’t. We debunk that and deconstruct that deconstruction every single Christmas,” Deace says.
“The idea that it was already against the Jewish law to commit murder. It was even in the Levitical law that if you harm a woman who is pregnant, you’re on the hook for the unborn child as well. The Hebrew midwives ... commit the heroic act of refusing ... to commit late-term abortions against their own, you know, children as deemed by Pharaoh and that’s one of the ways that Moses survives,” he explains.
“So the idea that some 13- or 14-year-old Jewish girl was just going to say, you know what, on second thought, I’m just going to hit this back alley here in Judea and get rid of the thing, which is what he’s alluding to. It’s just flat-out satanic,” he continues.
“But there’s going to be a lot more of this,” he adds.

'F**k you, Ted': Sen. Cruz caught on secret recordings attacking Vance, complaining about Trump, report says
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Calgary-born Republican widely expected to make another bid for the White House in 2028, was reportedly caught on tape tarring Vice President JD Vance with the same brush he uses on Tucker Carlson and criticizing President Donald Trump's tariff policies.
Unlike politicos keen to fault Vance for his enduring friendship with Carlson, Cruz has avoided publicly broadening his critique of the podcaster to the vice president. Behind closed doors, however, Cruz has apparently exercised no such restraint.
'JD is Tucker's protégé, and they are one and the same.'
In secret recordings provided to Axios by an unnamed Republican source, which were apparently taken during a pair of private meetings with donors last year, Cruz allegedly characterized the vice president as a non-interventionist puppet of Carlson.
"Tucker created JD," Cruz reportedly says in the recordings. "JD is Tucker's protégé, and they are one and the same."
Cruz and Carlson have long appeared at odds on matters both foreign and domestic. Carlson, for instance, castigated the senator in 2022 for calling the Jan. 6, 2021, melee a "violent terrorist attack."
The enmity between them reached an apparent high, however, in June, when the two clashed on Carlson's show over whether the U.S. should militarily back Israeli actions against Iran.
In the immediate wake of the combative interview, Cruz accused the host of engaging in "gotcha" journalism, attacking Trump, defending terrorists, demonizing Israel, and "running interference" for the Iranian regime.
RELATED: Which way after Trump? 'Strong Gods' may offer the solution.
While both men have traded barbs in the months since, Cruz appears increasingly fixated on Carlson, accusing him of being anti-Semitic, an Islamist, and — in response to Carlson's criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — "#AmericaLast."
In the recordings, Cruz also allegedly accused Vance of working with Carlson to oust former national security adviser Mike Waltz over his support for U.S. strikes on Iran.
Waltz "supported being vigorous against Iran and bombing Iran — and Tucker and JD took Mike out," Cruz allegedly told donors.
While Waltz's hawkish stance on Iran and alleged behind-the-scenes coordination with Netanyahu reportedly angered Trump, the straw that broke the camel's back may have been Waltz's accidental invitation of an anti-Trump polemicist to a private high-level group chat on Signal where senior administration officials were discussing sensitive military plans.
On the recordings, Cruz allegedly also claimed that Vance worked in concert with Carlson to help Daniel Davis, an Army veteran critical of Israel's actions in Gaza, secure a senior national intelligence position — a post that Davis was ultimately denied.
Carlson told Axios that he "didn't have anything to do" with the ousting of Waltz or attempted onboarding of Davis.
The Texas senator appears in recent months to have been laying the groundwork for a 2028 bid in which he would run as the kind of Republican Trump crushed in the 2016 and 2024 Republican primaries. According to Axios, this has involved courting powerful pro-Israel donors and "positioning himself as a traditional free-trade, pro-interventionist Republican."
Whereas early pulling suggests that Vance is poised to sweep the GOP 2028 primary, Cruz presently has a 2% chance of becoming the 2028 GOP nominee, according to Polymarket, and proved unable to capture 1% in an October poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire.
Blaze News has reached out for comment to the offices of Vance and Cruz.
A spokesperson for Cruz told Axios that the senator is "the president's greatest ally in the Senate and battles every day in the trenches to advance his agenda" and that "those battles include fights over staffers who try to enter the administration despite disagreeing with the president and seeking to undermine his foreign policy."
The spokesperson added, "Sen. Cruz is proud of those fights, his accomplishments, and his close relationship with the president. These attempts at sowing division are pathetic and getting boring."
'They will be terminated on the spot.'
The Texas senator allegedly also attacked Trump's tariff policy on the recordings from his private meetings with donors.
Cruz allegedly regaled donors with the tale of a call that he and other senators made to Trump that "did not go well" after the president introduced his Liberation Day tariffs.
"Trump was in a bad mood," Cruz allegedly told the donors. "I've been in conversations where he was very happy. This was not one of them."
"Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people's 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10%-20% at the supermarket, we're going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath," Cruz allegedly recalled telling Trump. "You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."
Cruz allegedly told donors that Trump's response was, "F**k you, Ted."
At the mention of "Liberation Day" in reference to the tariffs, Cruz allegedly joked with donors in the meeting, "I've told my team if anyone uses those words, they will be terminated on the spot. That is not language we use."
Blaze News has reached out to the White House for comment.
According to the Texas Politics Project, Cruz's job approval rating is presently 35% overall and 69% among Republicans.

'Flagrant violation': GOP lawmaker grills Jack Smith for 'spying' on former House speaker
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) confronted ex-special counsel Jack Smith during a House committee hearing, accusing him and the Justice Department of secretly surveilling members of Congress and stomping on constitutional protections while investigating President Donald Trump.
Gill pressed Smith on his office using secret subpoenas and nondisclosure orders to obtain phone "toll records" from lawmakers, including then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), without notifying them or the public.
'Nobody's going to sue. ... So who cares? We're going to do it anyway.'
"In January of 2023, did you subpoena then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's toll records?" Gill asked.
“Yes, sir, we did,” Smith replied.
RELATED: GOP senator to sue Jack Smith after his lawyers try gaslighting on Biden FBI surveillance
Gill pushed back, claiming Smith abused executive power to secretly collect phone data on Republican leadership.
“Collecting months’ worth of phone data on the Republican speaker of the House — the leader of the opposition — right after he got sworn in as speaker, all around the time of a major vote — that sounds like a flagrant violation of the Speech or Debate Clause to me,” Gill said.
The confrontation ramped up as Gill questioned Smith about the nondisclosure orders used to prevent McCarthy from learning that his records had been subpoenaed.
“At the time you secured those nondisclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?” Gill asked.
“He was not,” Smith answered.
"Then why did your nondisclosure order refer to him as a flight risk?" Gill pressed. Gill then cited language in the court filing stating that disclosure could result in “flight from prosecution.”
“You think the speaker of the House is ... going to hop on a plane and leave the country?” Gill asked.
“No,” Smith said, arguing that the language was not meant to apply personally to McCarthy but to general investigative risks.
Gill rejected that explanation.
RELATED: House Republican seeks criminal investigation into Jack Smith's alleged surveillance scheme
“This is clearly in reference to Speaker McCarthy,” Gill said. “You were using clearly false information to secure a nondisclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records.”
Gill also revealed that Smith’s office issued additional secret subpoenas in May 2023 for the toll records of nine U.S. senators and another House member, along with more nondisclosure orders.
“So again, nobody would know what you were doing,” Gill said. “The senators wouldn’t. The representatives wouldn’t. The American people wouldn’t.”
Gill then read from an internal DOJ email warning of “litigation risk” tied to compelling disclosure of lawmakers’ phone records due to Speech or Debate Clause concerns.
“As you are aware, there are some litigation risks regarding whether compelled disclosure of toll records of a member’s legislative calls violates the Speech or Debate Clause,” Gill read.
Gill emphasized another line from the same analysis, saying that because of "the low likelihood that any of the members listed below would be charged, the litigation risk should be minimal here.”
“In other words,” Gill said, “You're using a novel legal theory. ... You're not charging any of these members. Nobody’s going to know about it because you issued NDOs. Nobody’s going to sue. ... So who cares? We’re going to do it anyway.”
“You walked all over the Constitution throughout this entire process,” Gill added.
“It’s absolutely disgraceful.”

Surprise? WNBA has highest share of Democrat voters, more than any other major US sports league
An analysis of voter registration says WNBA players have the biggest share of Democrats of any professional sports league in the country.
The data comes from reporters Peter Lutz and Zachary Donnini, who gathered voter registration numbers from professional athletes across five major American sports organizations: the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and WNBA.
The MLB could be considered the most Republican of the leagues and is the only one that is majority Republican.
The data showed that not only is the WNBA the only league in which the majority of voter registration is Democrat, but it by far has the lowest percentage of registered Republicans.
More than two-thirds (67.5%) of registered voters in the WNBA are Democrats, according VoteHub, which showed that 30.2% were independents, while just 2.3% were Republican.
The NBA was the next-most Democratic-leaning, with 42.9% registered with the left-wing party and just 10% Republican.
The NFL also had more Democrats than Republicans, 34.3% to 20.2%.
Registered voters in the NHL had the lowest percentage of registered Democrats, 5.6% versus 43.9% registered as Republicans.
Meanwhile the MLB offered the highest share of registered Republicans at 53.7% against just 7.8% registered Democrats. This means that the MLB could be considered the most Republican of the leagues and is the only one that is majority Republican.
Independents represented the highest share of voters for the NBA, NFL, and NHL.
RELATED: WNBA star just admitted the truth about biology — and her fellow players won't be happy
More of the data was reported by America First Post, which showcased voter registration by position in the NFL. Defensive backs were most Democrat-leaning — defensive back was also the only position that was majority Democrat (51%).
Six of the 11 positions shown were more Republican than Democrat, with Republicans representing 50% or more of registered voters in three of those positions.
For long snappers (61%) and punters (57%), the majority of registered voters were Republican; kickers were 50% Republican. According to the data, none of the NFL's punters are registered as Democrats. Most teams carry just one punter, which means there are likely between 30 to 40 in the NFL.
For offensive linemen (26%), quarterbacks (33%), and tight ends (34%), more players were registered Republican than Democrat.
RELATED: NBA legend calls on Trump to implement mandatory military service
The overall data tracks with exit polling from the 2024 presidential election, which shows that 53% of women voted for Democrats, although the women of the WNBA greatly exceed those numbers.
As of 2023, 70.4% of NBA players are black. In the 2024 presidential election, 77% of black men voted Democrat.
In the NFL, defensive backs are nearly entirely black, yet as mentioned, only 51% of those players are registered Democrat.
Outwardly conservative WNBA players are hard to find, given the league's 2.3% Republican voters. However most fans point to Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham as a possibility.
The 29-year-old notably shared posts from Charlie Kirk's memorial in 2025 and recently made a friendly post directed at Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe from her home state of Missouri.

Iron MAGA? Comedian Chris D'Elia rants that in 'real life,' Marvel heroes would all vote GOP
Captain America and Iron Man would be feigning progressivism in public while secretly voting Republicans down the ballot, according to stand-up comedian Chris D'Elia.
D'Elia was discussing political influence in television shows with fellow comedians Erik Griffin and Brendan Schaub when he presented his theory.
'Wolverine! Cyclops! Professor X, hello?!'
The trio said that while some TV shows simply have entertaining characters that happen to be gay, the "gay agenda" becomes evident when certain storylines are forced.
Team Trump
"What I do think they do do, though, is with their big shows, they try to figure out how to put gay characters in it, or trans characters," D'Elia said on "The Golden Hour" podcast.
This led D'Elia to theorize that even though superheroes are "all woke in the movies," they are definitely voting Republican at the ballot box.
"What superhero would be left-wing?! They wouldn't. They have so much power," D'Elia said, launching into a signature screaming tirade.
"Jarvis, what's up with this f**kin' trans s**t?!" he joked, mimicking actor Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man."
"You know the real Captain America would be f**king Republican, secretly voting for Trump. And you know Iron Man would be talking to Jarvis about f**king woke bitches, dude!" he continued.

Stable genius
Griffin prompted D'Elia to explain which members of the X-Men he feels are Republicans, which had the New Jersey native yelling into the microphone.
"Who's Republican, dude? Wolverine! Cyclops! Professor X, hello?! You think he's out there — in his mind, he's like, 'But secretly, f**k these woke, white liberal women.' Killing them left and right, dude, with his brain."
Griffin — known for his work on shows like "Workaholics" — calmly delivered his thoughts about when shows go too far with their political agenda. The 53-year-old explained that shows have jumped the shark when they become "an after-school special" that has a political lesson to teach.
"To me, that's the agenda thing, is when you're trying to control how people think about stuff," he said.

Tranovision
This inspired Griffin and Schaub to develop an idea for a new filter on platforms like Netflix, where users can opt out of seeing transgender or overly gay content.
"They just need a filter," Griffin explained. "Like, more than just age filter, right? What if they had a 'gay agenda' filter?"
Schaub put a stamp on the topic and said that while he certainly enjoys a lot of new shows, "with the gay narrative, just leave it all out of the kids' stuff. But for the grown-ups, dude, you're a grown-ass person."
