JT Ennis, a spokesperson for Talarico’s campaign, noted on X that the interview’s YouTube views were more than double the number of viewers who watched President Donald Trump’s speech on Fox News during the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.

As of Saturday afternoon, the roughly 20-minute late-night appearance, which was moved to YouTube and not broadcast, had racked up 6.3 million views. Trump’s convention speech Wednesday drew in 2.5 million viewers on Fox News, ahead of MS NOW’s 1 million and CNN’s 441,000 in the same period, according to Reuters. Those figures measure television viewers, while the Talarico interview’s figure represents YouTube views.

        Yeah, it must be my personal bias and not an observation of actual reality to say that trans rights is used as a divisive issue in the US.

        I’m glad you’ve educated me that the US population is, in fact, in harmony and without disagreement on this issue.

          Does typing out all these $10 words make you feel nice and superior?

          Yes, degradation of trans rights is “actual reality”.

          Fucking hell, what a coward you are by calling it a “wedge issue” as if that makes it go away or something to be ignored
