Prominent Liberal Cheers As Rupert Murdoch’s Home Burns In California Wild Fire
Daily Caller ^ | 12/6/17 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 12/06/2017 5:16:37 PM PST by markomalley

As California is burning from wild fires and the lives of tens of thousands of Americans are devastated, there is one person who isn’t too upset over the destruction of at least one home.

Neera Tanden, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress and frequent cable news commentator, was more than happy that “karma” had burned down the home of Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of News Corp, which owns Fox News.

Reacting to the news of Murdoch’s misfortune, Tanden retweeted the information and added, “There’s a God. And she’s unhappy.”

Screen capture from Twitter.

Tanden was then asked by a Twitter user, “You seriously hope that your political appointees have their homes burned down?”

In response, think tank leader claimed no malice, just the embrace of “karma.”

Bowing to pressure and public backlash, Tanden deleted her offending tweet, claiming she felt “badly about it.”

Tanden the dropped the subject, not responding to any criticism of her “joke.”

In addition to running the Center for American Progress, Tanden is a veteran of the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns and delivered a speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Usually the first impulse reveals the true self. She meant it.

I want a piece of a lawsuit against California for all the pollution it is sending east as a result of its egregious open-air burning. There should be HELL to pay. The health of 310 million Americans is at risk as a direct result of California policy.

Everyone needs to be responsible to keep their side of the street clean. If they did we’d have a much better political system.

She says she feels “badLY”? Sheesh. Either grammar isn’t her strong suit, or she’s got a problem with her fingers.

I do have insurance, but my point was that, despite her apparent “freude,” this was no big “schaden” for Murdoch.

Relating to a similar fire, last year’s Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN, disaster, tonight I talked with a resident of Pigeon Forge. He mention that 2,000 buildings were destroyed.

The most interesting fact was Dolly Parton’s generosity.

“In December, Parton announced her My People Fund and promised each family who had lost its primary residence in the fires $1,000 a month for the next five months. When Parton arrived this week to help dole out the final payments, she brought the nearly 900 families an unexpected bonus – another $5,000 each for a total of $10,000.

She also revealed another surprise – the creation of the Mountain Tough organization to provide ongoing support to fire victims over the next three years and the pledge to fund it with at least $3 million.”

Perhaps the Hollywood elite will do the same for their neighbors....

Makes you wonder if the arsonists are part of the shadow govt.....or at least are paid by those who seek to destroy America.

Not bad looking for a Progressive NWO .... but looks can be deceiving, because underneath is a SFB personality.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some of these fires were set by terrorists. It wouldn’t surprise me if the government knows it.
