"They talk about education for your kids, health care... it was really uncomfortable."

Fox & Friends on Tuesday featured an interview with Daily Caller associate editor Virginia Kruta about her experience attending an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rally in St. Louis that could have been mistaken for satire.
Kruta told hosts that both Ocasio-Cortez and the Democratic candidate for whom she was stumping, Cori Bush, talk about things that everybody wants, especially if youre a parent they talk about education for your kids, health care for your kids. Things that you want.
But for Kruta, that sort of discussion is an uncomfortable thing.
If youre not really paying attention to how theyre going to pay for it, or the rest of that, its easy to fall into that trap and say, my kids deserve this, and maybe the government should be responsible for helping me with that,' she added.

Host Ainsley Earhardt interjected to earnestly ask Kruta, As a conservative, when youre sitting in that audience or standing in that audience, and youre listening to that message, how did it make you feel? Were you angry? Were you more drawn to that?
Kruta replied by saying she was mostly uncomfortable, because I was surrounded by a group of people who were talking about how they had gotten involved because they were tired of being angry all the time. It seems like so much effort to be angry about everything, instead of to focus on what you could do to change it.
Hey, Kruta.....................did you by some quirk of right wing bull shit go to the republican convention, or did you go to a debate between your president the sexual predator and Clinton, when he was following here around, or better yet did you go a rally when people who were protesting against the narcissistic psychopath were getting beat up................
Quite a double standard there Kruta....................don't you think , or did you just want to forget that part .........of what the traitor was doing

She has no clue what regular working people are experiencing. Another one who lives in her Ivory tower. When Joy tried to point out countries that were successful with democratic socialism, Norway, Finland, Sweden etc she talked over her and dismissed her like Joy didnt know what she was talking about and I, Meghan is better informed. At that point I would have gotten up and slapped her in the face. I admire Joys constraint.
But this will be the attacks Fox and the right wing media industrial propaganda complex will be using the next 4 months.
