TYT: Fox News On Jimmy Carter’s Cancer Diagnosis



Yesterday we found out that former President Jimmy Carter was diagnosed with cancer in several parts of his body. Fox News’s Debbie Schlussel decided to jump on twitter to kick him while he’s down. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"On Wednesday, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter revealed he has advanced cancer. That prompted an outpouring of support by many — and a nasty tweet by Fox News...

But Fox News generated an angry backlash with a tweet attacking the 90 year old the day the announcement of his illness was made.

Schlussel even attempted to start the hashtag #ACancerHasCancer.

It is not trending.”*

Put actual "sweat equity" as well as funds into Habitat for Humanity. has stood up as a vocal supporter of human rights campaigns worldwide, A Nobel Peace prize winner and all around good person.
Goofballs who make repulsive commentary about those who do good in the world have karma to pay. The clown car of conservative candidates is getting painted even more ridiculously by their pundits. Hopefully, there will be backlash, magnanamously November 2016.

Just like the behind the scenes work going on to return those caught up in the Iran hostage situation. See the movie, "Argo".

Hey, Debbie… Argo fuck yourself.
