A 12-foot tall puppet, named Little Amal, was created to represent a 10-year-old Syrian refugee to bring awareness to the struggles children face during war, violence, and oppression made an appearance on The View earlier this week, and radio host Dana Loesch was not a fan.
“They brought out — what the hell is this thing? — a giant puppet named — a giant puppet kind of negates the name Li’l — Li’l Amal and they called it a powerful symbol of human rights,” Loesch said. “So to recap, The View’s idea of what a powerful symbol for human rights is is a giant puppet — strong woman — with an Attack on Titan smile,” Loesch said, referencing an anime television program.
Loesch later said she didn’t like puppets or babydolls as a child, jokingly calling them “soulless, faceless, expressionless vessels of evil”. She also added she would “quit her job before working with that puppet”.
According to ABC News, Little Amal has been seen in person by more than 1 million people and has traveled more than 5,500 miles in more than 12 countries.
