in LA. They travel there believing Pretty Woman is a documentary.

Wish Julia would speak out against and apologize for making that film.

I said nothing about adult sex workers. Talking about abused, trafficked children who are misled by a film. Media is powerful and young minds are impressionable. If damage is being caused then the one responsible should make it right.

Why should she apologize? It made her career. The film was made in 1990, and I don't believe in punishing the sins of another era with the standards of today. It's one of our biggest flaws.

...is being an MTV Real World cast member 30 years ago. Somehow she and her husband (also a cast member) have parlayed that into a life of grifting the hermetically-sealed far-right media ecosystem. They're also really into radtrad Catholicism, but what else would you expect? Epistemic closure gives such a warm feeling of comfy fascism!

Campos-Duffy is one of the benchwarmers on "Fox and Friends Weekend", by the way, a show absolutely no one watches. As for her performance in this clip, what more can one say other than she's dumber than dirt.

Jesse Watters and Campos-Duffy...this is ashtray material, even by Fox "News" standards.
