In a recently resurfaced interview with Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, Stewart revealed a more condescending side of himself regarding child genital mutilation, something conservatives like Dave Rubin are not happy about. do not have.
“Why would the state of Arkansas step in and ignore the input of the parents, doctors, psychiatrists and endocrinologists who wrote the guidelines?” Stewart asked Rutledge.
“Well, I think it’s important that for all these doctors, for all these experts, for each patient, there’s an expert who says we don’t need to allow kids to take those drugs.” Mr. Rutledge retorted. Before Stewart could interject, “But you know that’s not true.”
“I don’t know if that’s not true,” Rutledge said, adding that 98 percent of people with gender dysphoria are able to overcome the problem without medical intervention.
“That’s amazing,” Stewart scoffed. “That’s an incredibly fabricated figure.”
“You’re suggesting that protecting children means overriding the recommendations of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society,” he continued.
Dave Rubin was disgusted by Stewart’s behavior, commenting that he was “completely smug and disgusting.”
“Why is Jon Stewart so smug about chemically castrating children?” he asks.
