Working in Hollywood and spending your career in fantasy worlds could warp your sense of reality in really dangerous ways. On Wednesday, West Wing actor Bradley Whitford appeared on ABC News’s The View to hawk his latest political propaganda program; but it quickly turned into a political lecture laced with rhetoric that could incite another liberal to political violence. For much of Whitford’s appearance, he lashed out at President Trump with accusations of “authoritarianism” and “internment camps.” Whitford said he found it “very interesting” doing a political show “during these times.” He lamented that public service had come “under attack” during the Trump administration and proceeded to shout about supposed “internment camps” and deportations: WHITFORD: Doing a political show. And what both of those shows do -- it's very upsetting to me now. They celebrate public service. And right now, public servants are under attack. It's been politicized in a way that is unprecedented. I am living in a world where we have internment camps! SUNNY HOSTIN: Yes. WHITFORD: Where, in my community, people are jumping out of vans, and people going through a legal asylum process are being taken away without charges. And the thing that's very upsetting to me right now, and we're giving these internment camps funny names. Like, they're some fun to be had in the inhumanity of it all. It's a very strange time for me.     The rhetoric used by Whitford was the same dangerous kind deployed by the far-left that had led to literal attempts to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. He didn’t seem disturbed by the attacks on those public servants. And what he claimed about asylum seekers was also far-left misinformation, since those people being deported had their claims denied. As Whitford was reminiscing about his father and how he fought the Nazis during World War II, co-host Joy Behar chimed in with her usual blunt whit to praise daddy Whitford as a purported member of Antifa since he fought fascism: WHITFORD: My dad -- I've been thinking about my dad a lot. He died a long time ago. He would be over 100 years old. 110. He fought in World War II when fascism was on the rise. He was on a mine sweeper with torpedoes coming at him. BEHAR: He was Antifa! WHITFORD: He was Antifa. Yes.     Let’s follow that logic for a bit. Whitford was biologically a boy. He also was likely proud of his career as an actor. That must mean he’s a member of the Proud Boys since he’s one proud boy. Keeping to focus on daddy, Whitford touted that his father was the president of his local Planned Parenthood (Click “expand”): And in addition to that, my father was not an overly political person. He worked at an insurance company in Madison, Wisconsin, but in his free time, he was a president of Planned Parenthood in Dane County. It was not remotely –not remotely political. It was because he had daughters, and he loved his wife, and they’re – and women needed access to healthcare that they didn't have. (…) We only have two minutes. Okay. We are living in a world, in the wake of the Dobbs decision, this is an unbelievable statistic! 64,000 pregnant rape victims, pregnant rape victims, living in states without access to abortion care! “And if you don't think abortion care is healthcare, you're out of your mind!” he decried. Without explanation, he also insisted that, “Women are done.”     It was unclear if he mean that “women were done” as in ‘have had it with the situation,’ or if he meant that there would be no women in the future. Co-host Sunny Hostin commended Whitford for how he “called out your former boss, Jeff Bezos, for capitulating to [Trump].” Behar clownishly asked: “how come you can do it and others cannot?” As they were nearing the end of the segment, Whitford spouted off about Trump’s purported authoritarianism: “I feel like we're living through, it's not the authoritarian playbook, it's the authoritarian coloring book. That I should feel scared about, you know, criticizing the president in a democracy? There's nothing less democratic than telling somebody to shut up. So, they should shut up! You know?” He also seemed to lament that he couldn’t kill the Nazis like his daddy did. “And I feel like my dad, you know, my dad had to get on a minesweeper when fascism was on the rise. I'm a schmuck on a TV show who wears make-up,” he bemoaned.     Since Whitford wanted to invoke WWII, he should now that it was his fellow Democrats like President FDR who brought internment camps to America.

He would be over 100 years old. 110. He fought in World War II when fascism was on the rise. He was on a mine sweeper with torpedoes coming at him. BEHAR: He was Antifa! WHITFORD: He was Antifa. Yes. BEHAR: Go ahead, I'm sorry. WHITFORD: And in addition to that, my father was not an overly political person. He worked at an insurance company in Madison, Wisconsin, but in his free time, he was a president of Planned Parenthood in Dane County. It was not remotely – [Applause] – not remotely political. It was because he had daughters, and he loved his wife, and they’re – and women needed access to healthcare that they didn't have. [Applause] And now -- am I talking too much? [Crosstalk] Oh, it's a talk show. BEHAR: You only have two minutes. WHITFORD: We only have two minutes. Okay. We are living in a world, in the wake of the Dobbs decision, this is an unbelievable statistic! 64,000 pregnant rape victims, pregnant rape victims, living in states without access to abortion care! And if you don't think abortion care is healthcare, you're out of your mind! Women are done. HOSTIN: Well, I want to ask you, then -- WHITFORD: But the show is really funny. HOSTIN: It is! It is! ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: It’s aspirational is what it is. And we need that. HOSTIN: It is aspirational and West Wing was too. I know that I haven't seen it yet, and my executive producer outed me. But I'm going to watch it. But I loved you in Get Out, personally. I loved you in Get Out. And obviously, you speak out about political causes, which is not always embraced in your industry. You even called out your former boss, Jeff Bezos, for capitulating to the President. Why is it so important for you to call things out? BEHAR: And how come you can do it and others cannot? WHITFORD: The most upsetting thing to me -- I feel like we're living through, it's not the authoritarian playbook, it's the authoritarian coloring book. That I should feel scared about, you know, criticizing the president in a democracy? There's nothing less democratic than telling somebody to shut up. So, they should shut up! You know? [Applause] HOSTIN: But thank you for speaking out. WHITFORD: And I feel like my dad, you know, my dad had to get on a minesweeper when fascism was on the rise. I'm a schmuck on a TV show who wears make-up. At least when the camera is on me, I can talk about what I think is happening. (…)

A new study from the University of Buckingham's Centre for Heterodox Social Science suggests that gender ideology is falling out of favor and the sex-change regime's supply of potential young victims might be drying up.Citing data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression's annual campus surveys of undergraduate students — FIRE polled over 60,000 this year — and several institution-level surveys of young Americans, study author Dr. Eric Kaufmann indicated that "the share of young people not identifying as male or female (typically ticking the non-binary or questioning options) has declined substantially since its 2022-23 peak."'The fall of trans and queer seems most similar to the fading of a fashion or trend.'One of the institutional-level student surveys Kaufmann looked at, the survey conducted annually at the Boston-area Andover Phillips Academy, showed a drop from over 9% of all respondents identifying as "non-binary" in 2023 to 3% total this year.FIRE survey data and Brown University student survey data similarly showed declines in the share of self-identified "non-binary" respondents — from 6.8% to 3.6% of the total in the first case, and a drop from roughly 5% to 2.6% in the second case.While the homosexual cohort has remained relatively stable, in the 3-5% range, Andover Phillips data indicated that there has been a rebound in the share of students who identify as straight.This rebound was similarly reflected in the FIRE data — which indicates that straightness dropped from 80% in 2020 to 68% in 2023, but now sits around 77% — as well as in the General Social Survey's findings, which reportedly indicated that straightness fell from 95% in 2010 to 71% in 2022, then rose to 81% last year.RELATED: Groomed for violence?

FALLON/AFP via Getty ImagesMeanwhile, the category of self-identified bisexuals, which increased from 10% to 17% between 2020 and 2023, has dropped to 12%, according to the Andover Phillips data.The category for "queer and other" sexual identities, which had jumped from 7% in 2020 to 17% in 2023, has since fallen to 12% of the total.FIRE data indicates that the "queer and other" sexuality category has fallen from 15% in 2023 to 8%.Kaufmann suggested that "it appears that trans and queer are going out of fashion among young people, especially in elite settings," and that the freshman 2028 cohort "was less likely than older students in 2025 to identify as BTQ+.""To the extent that the youngest represent the leading edge of new trends, this suggests that trans, bisexual and queer identities are declining in popularity with each new cohort," Kaufmann added.The professor indicated that the decline in non-straight identification "does not appear to be the result of a shift to the right, the return of religion, or a rejection of woke culture war attitudes."Kaufmann suggested on X that "the fall of trans and queer seems most similar to the fading of a fashion or trend. It happened largely independently of shifts in political beliefs and social media use, though improved mental health played a role."Gender ideologues appear to be everywhere losing their battle against common sense and the well-being of young Americans.For instance, a recent Gallup poll indicated that 66% of American adults think people should be required to list their real sex on government documents and that 69% believe medical transvestites should play on sports teams with members of their own sex.Pew Research Center polling shows that a majority of Americans now support bans on child sex-change procedures — bans of the kind now in effect in a majority of U.S. states. This rebuke of the sex-change regime, which is also taking a beating from the Trump administration, appears to be pan-generational. Data published by the Public Religion Research Institute in May indicates that support for so-called "gender-affirming care" has also plummeted among younger Americans. For instance, 66% of young men ages 18-29 think that sex-change interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, should be illegal in most or all cases.Like Blaze News?
