I happened to watch his show on Tuesday night and saw that up until he showed that segment, his audience was laughing their heads off. When he told the audience that “don’t worry, Christina (I think that was the girl’s name)… we are by your side” and “All children are from God” the applause was barely audible. It sounded like one person clapped his hands once or twice. Obviously, the studio audience wasn’t beside Christina. The little girl was absolutely lovely…radiant even despite the hatred all around her.
