LeBron James retweeted a viral video of Jon Stewart interviewing Oklahoma State Sen. Nathan Dahm about restrictions on drag shows. "Are you infringing on that [drag] performer's free speech?" Stewart asked in the clip.
"They can continue to exercise their free speech," Dahm replied. "Just not in front of a child. . . . Because the government does have a responsibility… in certain instances, to protect children."
"What's the leading cause of death amongst children in this country?" Stewart asked. "I'm going to give you a hint: It's not drag show readings to children."
James wrote alongside it, "AT ITS HIGHEST ORDER!!" with an emoji saluting Stewart. Laverne Cox shared the same video on her Instagram as well.
