Slightly Offensive, mentioned last week that someone had told him “there’s this mass genocide happening to trans kids by fascists” in Texas.
In the state, Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered that parents who allow their children to receive gender-affirming health care be investigated for child abuse.
The order is on hold while a court case against it proceeds.Schaffer and guest Dave Landau, a so-called comedian, found this hyperbolic and somehow hilarious. “How many trans kids did you kill today?” Schaffer asked Landau; both men live in Texas.“Uh — six, they come with a toll tag,” Landau responded.
Schaffer replied, “I did four. I was trying to beat you this week.”Landau said that Texans kill trans kids by dragging them behind a truck.
