Overview
- The short clip shows the infant vocalizing “mama” when asked to choose “dada or pop,” followed by a statement that “there is no mama” and laughter as the baby cries.
- Conservative hosts and high‑reach accounts condemned the exchange as cruel, with Michael Knowles calling it “the most horrifying video” and Robby Starbuck saying the baby “just wants Mommy.”
- Supporters countered that early “ma” sounds are normal babbling and noted the child was born via surrogate to two dads, casting the outrage as homophobia.
- McAnally captioned the video “who’s gonna tell him?” with comedy and standup tags, and Newsweek reported it had sought comment from his representatives with no public response noted.
- The dispute follows a December 2025 post labeled “6 week old homophobic baby,” and coverage split along ideological lines, with right‑leaning sites denouncing the parents and Newsweek adding research that children of same‑sex couples fare as well as those of straight couples.
