For context, Walters a couple of years ago was leading a witch hunt against school libraries, claiming that they were filled with pornography.

This also comes out the same day Oklahoma was declared 50th in education.

He's an asshole and terrible and everything, but this caught my eye:

And I hate to even use these terms, but I said, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I was looking closer, and I got a full-body view, and I was like, ‘That is pubic hair.’

It's ridiculous that there are adults who are so prudish that the mere utterance of words like "nipple" and "pubic hair" cause them consternation.

Which is why it’s funny that he’s accusing them of having a political agenda. They are all arch conservatives!
