Ana Navarro: ‘I’ve Yet to See a Kid that Dies from Being Exposed to a Drag Queen,’ It’s About Parental Choice

EXCERPT:

NAVARRO: "What we’re seeing in Florida, I can’t even comprehend."
GOLDBERG: "Mm-hmm."
NAVARRO: "This is a state where we have a housing crisis, this is a state where we have an insurance crisis, this is a state where we have a climate crisis. And instead Ron DeSantis is focusing on drag queens. And so listen, yes, do I think a 5-year-old should be at a drag show? No, but you know what? If you are for parental choice when it comes to your kid wearing a mask to school, if you are for parental choice when it comes to your kid learning about slavery and learning the true history of this country, then why in the hell can’t you be about parental choice on whether you take your kid to a drag show or not?"
BEHAR: "Well, that’s true."
NAVARRO: "This is -- you know, you’re cherry-picking. Listen --" [crostalk]
BEHAR: "But —"
NAVARRO: "-- I looked at the top causes of endangerment for children, of children’s death. It’s firearms. It’s car accidents."
BEHAR: "You know, all of that --" [crosstalk]
NAVARRO: "It’s drownings. It's not drag queen. I’ve yet to see a kid who dies from being exposed to a drag queen." (Applause)
