Brian Kilmeade is auditioning to play the mayor in the next Jaws movie. “We can’t close the beaches! It will cost the city too much.”

Republicans NEVER empathize with suffering unless it happens to someone they care about.

If it was not her mother going through this she would be in line with the rest of them following their Dear Leader.

“But does your mom go to the beach?”

He’s such a f**king idiot. Absolute ignorant question regarding so many angles to this, and I think he knows it.

Could it be that there is someone with a soul at Fox News, and with airtime? Who knew?

Correct, do you think Dick Cheney would of approved gay marriage in 2004 if his daughter was not gay??

This is typical of Republicans. Until something actually affects them personally it’s a non issue, or worse some sort of oppressive conspiracy. Then when it does affect them it’s the worst thing in the world. Like they’re against abortion until their teenage daughter or their mistresses get pregnant.

They’re against stay at home orders until their mom gets sick.

I hope her mom gets better.

Sounds like her mom may actually have COVID19 and thus she FINALLY gets it. Conservatives often don’t believe things until a close family member is involved - and then they suddenly see the light.

Not really sure - I mean, I’ve underestimated their stupidity numerous times before. I’ve seen some of his contributions to conversations and it’s entirely possible that he doesn’t comprehend, but probably from lack of trying.

Is anyone else getting really annoyed that even on ‘liberal’ and ‘democrat’ leaning sites the news is almost entirely what conservatives say and do?

There have been excellent ‘take downs’ and counter arguments to all the conservative narratives during this virus by democrats, but you’d never even know that from most news sites. Conservatives dominate our news and thus what the national narratives are with this stuff. And that’ how you normalize the crazy and move the Overton window further to the right. It’s getting really frustrating that even democrat leaning sites are going along with giving conservatives more ‘air time’ than liberals.

Kilmeade:
"Why should I care about your stupid mother - it is not my fault that she is old and has health issues … it is really inconvenient to have to accommodate sick - or at-risk - old geezers "

It’s FOX. “stay at home” has been given a political position and they’re going to get on the wrong side of it. It’s not safe vs unsafe it’s “stay at home” is anti-Trump and “open up the economy” is pro-Trump. That’s how the issue has been tagged and it should be no surprise FOX has taken the pro-Trump position.

FOX has been on the wrong side of every factor in the COVID mess. They continue to dispense dangerous misinformation and lies. America…you best get you ass over your love of a 250 year old document that enshrines FOX’s malignant behavior. America’s Founders never intended the First Amendment to establish a shithole like FOX. Modernize your charter or die clutching the old one.
