‘God bless. “I don’t chase fame or views, I stand strong in love,” she concluded.

The video was then shared by Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, who hit Accurso on X, formerly Twitter, urging parents to take their business elsewhere.

‘Mrs. Rachel is an extremely popular YouTuber who creates content for babies and toddlers,” he wrote.

“She just posted a video in honor of Pride Month. This is a message to conservative parents. She doesn’t want your business. You have to respond accordingly.”

The post was viewed more than 6.1 million times and received 3.4 thousand comments, mostly from outraged parents and conservatives.

“I’m never watching Miss Rachel again,” one user commented.

Another said: ‘This woman scares me and so do all the crazies she has on her shows. Every time I see her trying to turn her on, I tell my wife to turn her off.”

A third added: ‘As a father of two children who love Ms. Rachel, this saddens me. Miss Rachel will not continue to play in my house’.

“That’s the end of her now. Never again. Never again. Boycott!’ a fourth commented on the post.

The latest wave of comments on the YouTuber comes just over two weeks after Accurso was criticized for fundraising for children suffering in global conflicts, without mentioning Israeli youth.

The social media star claimed she was bullied after announcing a fundraiser for British charity Save the Children, adding that it “hurt so bad” that people said she didn’t care about all children.

She said in a social media post advertising the fundraiser: “I will be making videos for the little ones, and all money raised from my side will go to the Save the Children emergency fund, which will go to children living in conflict in Gaza, Sudan. , Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine.’

“Children should never experience the horrors of war,” she added.

But even though the personalized cameos she offered were all snapped up within a few hours of her post going live — raising a whopping $49,500 — she was heavily criticized by members of the Jewish community.

“When I saw her fundraiser, it really touched me,” Jewish mother Moran Gold told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

She added: “I think it’s wonderful when an educator tries to bring light to children in Gaza, Sudan, Congo or Ukraine – but I don’t understand why it’s a deliberate effort by her and her team and Save the Children. never to speak about Israeli children.’

Accurso responded to the backlash in a tearful follow-up video on social media, in which she clarified that she “cared deeply about all children,” adding, “That’s who I am.” I love my neighbor’.

‘I love every child. Palestinian children, Israeli children, children in the US, – Muslim, Jewish, Christian children -, all children, in every country. Not one is excluded,” she said.

Accurso also sparked ire from her viewers after claiming she was forced to take a ‘mental health break’ after parents expressed outrage over his co-star Jules Hoffman asking to be referred to by the pronouns on her show ‘they’ and ‘them’. which is mainly watched by toddlers and young children.

She also revealed that she was bullied online last September, claiming trolls targeted her because of her weight and appearance.

The teacher posted a video on Instagram in which she revealed that while she was completing her second master’s degree in education, she was criticized about her weight and told to “try to be prettier to teach toddlers.”

In an accompanying caption, she wrote, “Last week I got a real comment… I have better qualifications to teach than being thin and pretty. And that’s not where my value lies! #mothers #toddlermother #mommy #msrachel #beauty.”

Her YouTube bio reads: ‘Our educational videos for kids are based on research and full of learning standards that will help preschoolers thrive!…

‘In addition to baby videos and toddler videos, we have preschool videos for children. We also give music lessons and teach sign language.’
