I also agree that it is wholly unnecessary and is just for show (CC worked just fine for many many years).

The nerve of them to accommodate people with a disability!

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.

I've never considered that sign language is a partisan thing. Interesting lol

There’s a lot of signing at my house during an Honor Choade press conference.

Have you ever seen the CC for live events, like football games? It is terrible.

In the grand scheme of stupid shite our government spends our tax dollars on, I'm perfectly ok with them paying a sign language interpreter for government briefings with those tax dollars.

You're apparently an a-hole who enjoys getting triggered by anything and everything.

Stfu, Karen.

Brain washing. The only time deaf people ever know what anybody is saying on tv is these government press conferences.

Yes.

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.



We have roughly 28 million people in this country that have some kind of hearing impairment. Around 2 million of those folks are legally classified as deaf.
