Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann were leading an overheated charge against Jeff Sessions on today’s Morning Joe, when a surprising note of caution came from an unexpected source: Kasie Hunt. Hunt is an MSNBC correspondent, not a commentator, nor someone suspected of harboring hidden conservative leanings.
Yet Hunt issued a blunt assessment on Dem dealings over Sessions. Observing that there’s danger for Dems if they overplay their hand, Hunt said: “I think one of the lessons we learned in the 2016 election is Americans are sick of foul outrage.”

Rats may find out the hard way that when you point your finger at someone, three fingers will point right back at you.
Foul or false? I get the idea, either way, just never heard the term “foul outrage.” Faux, false, sure. Foul is of similar ilk I suppose, at least I take it that way.
Kasie Hunt warns Dems not to overplay Sessions:”Americans sick of foul outrage.”
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I’m guessing some suspicious FReepers will say that Hunt is just trying to help the Dems, giving them good advice so they play the Sessions things correctly.
But check out her full statement. When she says that a lesson learned from the election is that Americans are “sick of foul outrage,” it’s hard to spin that as other than a shot at the Dems and MSM for their over-the-top reactions to the various things that Trump said during the campaign.
A lesson from history.
The only person who lost his job over Clinton’s impeachment was Bob Livingston.
Agreed, “foul” was a weird choice of words. But my ears and the closed-caption transcript have it as “foul.”
I’ve found from watching Kasie over the months that she occasionally stumbles on her words and phrasing. But as you suggest, she got her point across.
Then there is the speaker who mispronounces or never used the right expression in their life, and the transcription is faithful to the speaker.
It sounded to me like she said, “Faux,” although she mispronounced it.
Let me go back and listen.
By recusing himself on the nothing burger, it gives Sessions the opportunity to recuse himself on other issues and then appoint special prosecutors to prosecute such things as the e-mail scandals, the Clinton Foundation scandals, the IRS scandals, and perjury charges against Obama cabinet officials who lied to congress.
He can get the ball rolling on a lot of future prosecutions and make it look non-political.
Make that “Fake” outrage and you’ve got a deal.
Okay, I listened again and think you’re right. I think she did mean to say ‘faux’ but mispronounced it as ‘fow.’ There’s no ‘l’ at the end of what she says. I’m asking editors to change headline, etc. Thanks!
(1)Mornings are so much more enjoyable now that I've switched over to Mornings with Maria Bartiromo
(2)The best moment in Showtimes's election series The Circus was the close up shot of John Heilemann's quiver lips and tear filled eyes the moment he realized Hillary had lost the election. It was schadenfreude on steroids.
They are definitely overplaying their hand. Die hard libs hate everything about the Trump administration and they are all giddy about the incessant 24/7 bashing. The average American is getting weary of it and it is becoming obvious to them what is going on.
i would rather assign “foul” to the stinking odour kind of definition....How about Stinking Outrage?
Great choice. She is one brilliant woman. I enjoy looking at her, too. She could hold her own, intellectually, with anyone on the planet.
If they thought they saw a whitelash before, keep this s&^% up and see what happens!
We are sick of global Communists! A lying media! An injustice! Time Democrats went to jail!
I’ve never heard of her, but she appears to be not guilty.
