I like how that one guy just randomly breaks the fourth wall for no reason. That all said, this is a joke, right? I know we’re talking about stupid Republicans here but this is well beyond stupid and firmly into (bad) satire territory. Right? Right?? ---

> Matt Walsh advocates for the impregnation of girls as young as 16 because it’s “technically when they’re at their most fertile” But remember it’s liberals and Democrats that are sexually interested in kids. 'Course, we can’t rule out that the only ‘sexual’ interest Matt has in females is impregnation. ~~Joey~~ Matt, do you like movies about gladiators?
