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

Posted on 05/07/2024 10:35:15 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

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.

That is a lie. The left has zero legitimacy. No argument of theirs can stand up to facts.

“They all seemed so... normal.”

That’s because they are all normal. It’s the brainwashed ‘tards voting for Biden that are abnormal.

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?

She was working for NBC at the time. It is funny as heck!:

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

I think part of what's going on is that the water is so shallow she can't 'dig' the paddle in normally without it noticeably bottoming out; we're watching her trying to improvise a shallow paddle stroke in real time that doesn't give the whole thing away (and utterly failing).

You’ve got to love that CNN clown’s comment about those awful Trump followers being “well educated”, only to berate them. Given that she probably has a journalism (or some other worthless lib arts studies type) degree), virtually anyone who got past fifth grade is well educated compared to that glittering jewel of colossal ignorance,

I recall that canoe incident. I think that was up in NJ. Meanwhile down here in Fl, one of the local news babes was taking about the severe winds from a hurricane. They had focused in on a low street sign and was rocking in the wind. Someone posted a video of a news assistant moving the sign from side to side but out of news framing.

Well as Dan Mather, sic, used to say: not accurate but true.

I have a friend who has multiple AR-15 (in our state, his model/modifications are now illegal) and business owner

He constantly bitches about taxes, believes most government programs are based on corruption, and declares “no one is ever gonna take my guns” - but hates Trump and voted for Clinton and Biden

We have enough in common, but whenever politics come up, I eventually have to tell him how hypocritical and full of SH** he is, and we have another beer

I think he invites me over exactly because I tell him he’s full of SH**

Probably because that person spoke the truth. Remember what the Lord said darkness does not like the shining light! That reporter must have been convicted really good because when the light is shined on your darkness and you feel uncomfortable for this long it only says one thing..truth is convicting you! The truth shall set you free all the time!

“Delusions of intellectual grandeur.”

People who think like that, would have no problem with Trump supporters being gassed, like the Jews.

From a CNN democRat? Not likely.
