Am I the only one who is completely baffled by this? It’s like they’ve invented a whole new level of fake virtue from liberals that we now have to use a sign language interpreter on tv. They’re pretending to give a shite about deaf people by putting an interpreter on stage that nobody needs anyway.

These morons apparently forgot that we’ve had closed captioning for decades and deaf people are perfectly capable of reading. The interpreter thing is completely idiotic and annoying simply for the fact it’s completely useless.

Is it for people that are actually there?

Or maybe someone in politics needed a job for one of their buddies in exchange for a favor.

Jam bands have done this. Creates an even cooler vibe knowing there’s more inclusion for someone not able to do basic things we take for granted.

This has been a thing for a while. When Jindal was governor and he would speak during prep for an incoming hurricane, he had a sign language dude. And it was hilarious to watch because Jindal spoke about 1000 mph. Sign language baw had to have had arthritis of the fingers when it was all done.

I still can’t get over those liberals and their virtue signaling handicapped parking spots. And don’t get me started on fricking wheelchairs. What nerve!

It honestly is pretty fricking annoying, and really distracts from the person speaking.

It also doesn’t help that they tend to use some slapdick that looks like he moonlights as a magician on the weekends.
