You welcomed her into your living room, handing your grandchild a tablet and placing complete trust that the cheerful woman on screen—singing about shapes and colors—was harmless. For millions of American families, children’s content creators have become as familiar as family members. Nobody questions it. Why would you?
Here’s why. Behind the bright colors and sing-along videos lies a political agenda that would make most parents’ blood run cold if they knew about it. And the worst part? They’re counting on you never discovering it.
Ms. Rachel, a massively popular children’s content creator, has encouraged her followers to vote for Denver Congressional candidate Melat Kiros, who described 9/11 as “inevitable.”
In an Instagram Story, Rachel shared advertisements for Kiros with calls to “end the genocide” in reference to Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
Read that again. The most popular children’s entertainer on the internet—a woman whose YouTube channel serves as a digital pacifier for millions of American toddlers—is actively campaigning for a congressional candidate who views the murder of 2,977 Americans as a natural outcome. Incredible.
Melat Kiros is a Democratic Socialist running for Congress in Denver. Not a moderate Democrat or even a typical progressive. A Democratic Socialist—descended from movements that have never shunned Marxist revolution.
Kiros appeared on far-left Twitch propagandist Hasan Piker’s show, where she labeled the Hamas October 7th attack—a massacre of over 1,200 innocent Israeli men, women, and children—as “an inevitable consequence of apartheid, occupation, decades of occupation.” When pressed by a local news interviewer, Kiros insisted she wasn’t saying Israel “had it coming,” but rather that people needed to understand the “conditions.”
She applied the same flawed reasoning to September 11. America’s darkest day was repackaged as a foreseeable consequence of foreign policy. And when a firebombing in Boulder, Colorado killed an elderly Jewish woman? Kiros declared it “impossible to know” whether the attack was antisemitic.
This is the candidate Ms. Rachel wants you to vote for.
It’s not the first time Ms. Rachel has faced antisemitism accusations. Earlier this year, she posted a message calling for “freeing” countries including Palestine and Iran. But then someone noticed she had liked a comment on her own post that read: “Free America from the Jews.”
Caught red-handed, she released a tearful video apology—dabbing her eyes and claiming she’d meant to hit “delete” but accidentally tapped “like and hide.” She has Jewish family and friends, says she hates antisemitism, but admits she’s not tech-savvy.
Fine. People do fumble their phones. But fast-forward a few months: she’s no longer accidentally tapping. She is deliberately using her platform to promote a far-left radical who rationalizes terrorism and shrugs off the murder of Jewish grandmothers. That’s not a slip of the thumb—it’s a deliberate choice.
Ms. Rachel isn’t a political commentator or podcast host about Middle Eastern geopolitics. She’s a children’s entertainer—and that’s precisely what makes this so dangerous. Her audience didn’t sign up for radical politics; they came for alphabet songs. Their guard is down.
With millions of followers, she has built an empire on the goodwill of parents and grandparents. And now she’s channeling that influence toward far-left candidates who refuse to condemn terrorism without a footnote.
The screen in your grandchild’s hands isn’t a toy—it’s a pipeline. The people on it have agendas, loyalties, and political commitments they’d rather you not examine too closely.
So examine them anyway. Know who’s entertaining your grandchildren. Know what they stand for when the cameras stop rolling. Because the smiling face on screen doesn’t always tell the whole story—and your family deserves better than finding out the hard way.
