Kelly told her listeners, “Why doesn’t Charlize Theron come and crack me up? … Because I’m 100 percent against her here.”
“Yeah, there are fun drag queen shows. I’ve been there. When we lived in Chicago, we went to one, and it was super fun. It was all adults,” she continued. “But there are drag queen shows right now that are very disturbing, and they’re taking place for young kids. So know what you’re supporting. Understand what we’re actually seeing there, which is definitely the care of young kids.”
