Farah Griffin did just that Monday morning when discussing luxury brand Balenciaga\u2019s controversial, sexualized ad campaign featuring children holding teddy bears dressed in BDSM outfits. <\/p>\n<p>Farah Griffin\u2019s problem with Balenciaga\u2019s disturbing images was not so much the exploitation and endangerment of toddlers, but, she said, that the brand\u2019s campaign \u201cplayed right into [the] hands\u201d of the \u201cfar-right\u201d and anyone opposed to pushing transgender ideology on minors. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin laments Balenciaga&#8217;s sexualization of children because it &#8220;played right into [the] hands&#8221; of people opposed to sexually grooming children.<br \/>She called it a &#8220;misstep&#8221; that gives &#8220;credence to those kind of insane takes&#8221; from the &#8220;far-right.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0fW1DaUdvf\">pic.twitter.com\/0fW1DaUdvf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickFondacaro\/status\/1597270352253501441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 28, 2022<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full segment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tfcQqWiAwpk\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was a really bad misstep at a moment where it\u2019s just kind of a dangerous time to even give credence to those kind of insane takes,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Those \u201cinsane takes,\u201d which Farah Griffin also inaccurately referred to as \u201cgrowing anti-LGBTQ sentiment\u201d and \u201cportraying, you know, trans people as groomers\u201d are indeed given credence by the Balenciaga campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Vocal parents from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/oct\/16\/dearborn-michigan-book-bans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">across the political spectrum<\/a> have spent the last year pushing back on the sexualization and indoctrination of children and there is nothing \u201cinsane\u201d or \u201cfar-right\u201d about their efforts. Whether it\u2019s calling out Disney\u2019s blatant insertion of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/30\/disney-executives-admit-of-course-were-grooming-your-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cqueer\u201d content<\/a> in children\u2019s entertainment or exposing the transgender ideology and gender identity lessons that public school teachers are <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/14\/twitter-punishes-libs-of-tik-tok-for-daring-to-expose-radical-leftism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">openly<\/a> pushing on students, conservative arguments are much more valid and articulate than Farah Griffin\u2019s \u201ctrans people = groomers\u201d bad faith translation. <\/p>\n<p>If Farah Griffin wanted to reduce her take on the Balenciaga campaign to something so simple, why not try something like, \u201cchild exploitation = bad\u201d? Well, because that\u2019s not what ABC pays her to do, and it doesn\u2019t matter if conservatives are right or not, or \u201cgiven credence\u201d or not. As the \u201cconservative\u201d co-host, Griffin will always make her own side the target of her hot take.<\/p>\n<p>As I <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/26\/alyssa-farah-griffin-gets-conservative-view-slot-by-trashing-conservatism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> when Farah Griffin clinched the permanent seat at the \u201cHot Topics\u201d table this summer, she got the job precisely because she is willing to trash her own \u201cpreviously held beliefs, convictions, and career\u2019s work in exchange for seal claps, media attention, and the approval of Whoopi Goldberg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even when the topic is so black and white \u2014 even when Balenciaga itself has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Clg9BijLUHe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitted<\/a> its own gross errors \u2014 Farah Griffin earns her paycheck by aiming her fire at conservatives and affirming The Narrative above all else. Sadly, the worst part is that it makes for really boring television. <\/p>\n<p>   Madeline Osburn is managing editor at The Federalist.
