Ex-CNN reporter frets over dinner she had with 'closeted' Trump supporters: 'Continues to haunt me'
Fox News ^ | May 6, 2024 | Hanna Panreck

Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how "normal" a group of "closeted" Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to "haunt" her.

"All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures," Kosinski wrote.......

"The others-- when they realized that a few in their presence came armed with (gasp) actual facts (NO!)-- quickly changed the subject and nervously said they don't want to talk politics. They realized they would be eviscerated on all idiotic points, especially on the economy," Kosinski said.

Kosinski said it was funny how "extremist" or "wrong" beliefs can leak out from those who you least expect, but warned, "they are out there.".......

"This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so... normal. When I asked the couple who were my old friends how THEY didn't know, they said that in their upscale FL neighborhood, people are extremely careful not to ever broach or debate the subject. This is not healthy," Kosinski continued in her thread.

One reason is that libs go bonkers when confronted with conservative views. Had a friend that was over my place a lot for BBQs, but after a political discussion he stopped attending.

Worst part is he's ex-military. Usually when us military guys disagree we say FU2, how about another beer?

This is the same reporter that was busted live on the air, sitting in a canoe in the middle of a hurricane flood zone, and two guys walked by in ankle deep water. She’s a total bullshit con artist and probably made this up. The video of this ignoramus sitting in the canoe is hilarious. It’s still out there. She was with CNN at the time

Funny how ONLY their perspective is the “correct” view point. No wonder we’re in such deep crap!

That’s cute.

She thinks they changed the subject because they were afraid of her command of the real facts.

Even Matt Lauer laughed at her. He asked if it was a miracle those guys walking on the water right beside her.

Geez, thought this was the Bee for a second. Shows how truly out of touch and in a bubble some of the Libs are when their TDS is so strong they cannot perceive Trump supporters as even appearing normal. Scary. This is the sort of 'othering' that creeps into persecutions and violence.

Ah what a classic moment in American "journalism"!:

Wonder if these people have ever really thought about what MAGA is, aside from Trump? In a personal sense - what it means for their kids and grandkids.

It's been noted time after time that the "facts" deficit lies on the left, not the right. It's a very, very long list, whereas our errors are few, and corrected upon further exam.

My tagline embodies the attitude of many, I hope;

Davey Crockett: "Be sure you're right. Then go ahead'.

We don't want to be shown to spout falsehoods, so we don't.

This is the same Michelle Kosinski who got caught pretending the flood waters were deep only to be exposed by two men walking past in ankle deep water. She's nothing but a liar.

I have had several sharp exchanges with liberals
who have said anti Trump or anti MAGA MSNBC like things
and I have fired right back. They always look shocked that
there are two sides to a story. The nice thing about living in SC is that we are not out numbered.

Didn't know what ?

What economic “fact” would MAGA need to run from?

Her remarks say a great deal about her own character, or lack thereof. Zee-Row insight.

She could at least have learned how to paddle, to add some verisimilitude...
