The totalitarian outrage mob came for actor and radio host Mario Lopez after he said that parents should not raise their children transgender.

Mario Lopez is a father to three young children, so he knows a thing or two about raising children.

‘Kids say the darndest things’ used to be a funny way to excuse away crazy things children say — children are young and innocent so they are unable to make serious life decisions. This is why parents and guardians look after children.

Kids have wild imaginations and pretend to be mermaids or Superman, Candace Owens said Wednesday during her interview with Mario Lopez.

“When you’re a kid… you don’t know anything about sexuality yet. You’re just a kid,” Mario Lopez said.

“I am trying to understand it myself, and please don’t lump me into that whole [group],” Lopez said. “I’m kind of blown away, too. Look, I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong. But at the same time, my God, if you’re 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make this determination then, well, OK, then you’re going to a boy or a girl, whatever the case may be … It’s sort of alarming and, my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.”

Leftists went berserk and labeled Mario Lopez “transphobic.”

A few hours later Mario Lopez bowed to the outrage mob and apologized.

“The comments I made were ignorant and insensitive, and I now have a deeper understanding of how hurtful they were,” Lopez said in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment. “I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself. Moving forward I will be more informed and thoughtful.”
