Former CBS ”Evening News” anchor Katie Couric said Sunday on comedian Bill Maher’s podcast “Club Random” that many of former President Donald Trump’s voters were driven by anti-intellectualism.
Couric said, “I’m talking about overall income inequality and even taking race out of it, the huge chasm between the uber, uber, uber wealthy and people who don’t have 400 dollars in and emergency, it has never been such a stark divide.”
She continued, “The socio-economic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment, which are Trump voters, or anti establishment voters so, I think that is a huge problem that we have to address. I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society. I mean I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful, it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling. And I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and on top of that are looking down on them it is just a recipe for such anger and grievance.”

“Anyone who doesn’t think the way we do is clearly uneducated, and probably stupid.”
Does Katie Einstein believe in Darwinism? NOT an intellectual herself, if so.
intellectualism - I can not think of a better class of people to be against. Let us face it. It is not everyday Americans that are ruining our nations, but those who believe (without any reason to) that they know what is best for us.
So yes, I am anti-intellectual.
So says the ditz.
Katie uses anti-inyellectualism daily.
Intellectualism does not translate to common sense.
I’ve known some very intellectual people, high IQ/MENSA types, who were actually the dumbest schmucks in the world.
There we go. Eugenicism.
Liberals never leave home without that in their intellectual back pocket.
These people seem to have no understanding of why they’re hated.
(rhetorical, but fire away)
Intellectualism?
Translation:
“Educated” (brainwashed) Pin Heads.
Almost all liberals are elitists.
LOL, thus spoke the illustrious intellectual.
hehehe. how stoopid. me trump supporter hate intellectualism...
especially when they are communists.
“I mean I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful, it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling.” Katie, I’ve never had that feeling in my life. If a person was more gifted as a baseball or at thermo-dynamics than I was, and earned more money than I did, I always thought good for them, I’ll work harder.
trump supporters want their elected officials to behave humbly and act nobly... not the other way around like they have been... and how elitist of her to say we hate intellectualism... we just hate stupid communists.
WE have COMMON SENSE, KATIE!!
“Only us highly educated and elite liberals with 7-figure incomes know what’s best for you minimum-wage earning ignorant conservative peons. You should listen to us as we are your betters who should not be questioned or challenged”
Unfortunately most of our elites aren’t very intellectual
Being trapped at a car dealership for a recall on my car and having to endure a TV blaring multiple hours of Today, I can tell you Jenna Bush isn't designing rockets in her spare time, either.
