I've been watching some I am Jazz clips. Here's one where she debates a right wing news anchor. It's fairly civil and bloodless, which I didn't expect. Maybe you guys can find some fun to be had with this video. I never really heard of her before this, so I had to google to make sure she was real.
FTR, Tomi Lahren is (was? I don't know if she's active any more) a c-list conservathot who managed to neck her own career in 2016 (I think. 2016 was a fun year) by outing herself as pro-abortion. Hell of a blonde moment when you're working for Glenn Beck, but you do you I guess.
Fascinating video. I'm starting to wonder if one of the I Am Jazz editors might be one of us, because at around 3:12, Jazz says something to the effect of "I've been saying I'm a girl since I could talk," then cuts to a shot of his mother nodding- all it needs is the horror-movie zither music to be absolutely perfect. As for the interview itself, a couple things jumped out at me.
First, Jazz's mom and the bitch in blue (hereafter contracted to Bib) couldn't have looked more catty if they'd tried. When one of the producers said some pablum about "oh, you two will be friends when this is all over," they instantly cut to those two going into full Mean Girls "what-ever" mode.
Second, I would love to see the uncut tape of this interview, since what TLC put up was less than three minutes of the two of them actually talking. Bib was constantly on hand to feed Jazz lines, but even so I imagine that even Tomi could figure out to question some of the premises being put out here.
Third, the interview as presented (what little there is of it) is incredibly softball, though I don't know if that's just the editing or not. I don't know if Jazz knows the phrase "epistemic closure," but he's approaching the platonic ideal of it, saying that the interview wasn't about what Tomi was talking about, as if he is the arbiter of what the conversation is or isn't.
