Daily Wire host Matt Walsh offered a strong message to conservative parents Saturday after a popular YouTuber for young children posted a Pride Month video, in which she made clear that promoting the LGBT agenda is more important to her than keeping conservative viewers.
Walsh made his comments in response to a video posted Saturday, the first day of June, by Ms. Rachel, a popular YouTuber with nearly 10 million subscribers, who makes educational content for babies and toddlers.
“Happy pride to all of our wonderful families and friends! This month and every month, I celebrate you. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re exactly who you are,” Ms. Rachel said in the video, posted to her TikTok account, “MsRachelForLittles.”
“To those who are going to comment they can’t watch this show anymore because of this support, no worries and much love your way. God bless. I am not chasing fame or views, I’m standing strong in love,” the popular YouTuber went on to say.
“This is a message to conservative parents. She doesn’t want your business,” Walsh responded in a post on X that featured the video. “You should respond accordingly.”

Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing responded to Walsh’s post by noting that more and more children’s content creators, like Ms. Rachel, are abandoning conservative audiences and embracing the LGBT agenda.
“We know millions of parents feel betrayed by beloved children’s shows and stars like Ms. Rachel, and this is sure to be only the first of many disappointments for parents over the next 30 days,” he said. Boreing went on to note that it is exactly this trend that prompted the Daily Wire’s parent company to create the children’s entertainment platform Bentkey.

But that’s why we created Bentkey.

Ms. Rachel has built a career and a massive audience making a range of educational videos for young children and even babies, including “Baby Learning with Ms. Rachel,” “Learn to Talk with Ms. Rachel,” and “Baby’s First Words with Ms. Rachel.”
Jules Hoffman, a frequent collaborator with Ms. Rachel, received backlash last year over her request that others refer to her with the pronouns “they” and “them.”
Ms. Rachel went on to take a “mental health break” over the ordeal, citing “hurtful videos and comments” from those who disagreed with the use of the “they/them” pronouns.
