Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill comes out swinging against Fox News after election loss
The Weak ^ | 11/08/18 | Brendan Morrow

After being voted out of office, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is placing some blame on Fox News.

McCaskill, a moderate who attempted to distance herself from "crazy Democrats" during her re-election campaign, lost her bid for a third term on Tuesday to Josh Hawley, a Republican attorney general who President Trump had campaigned for the day before the election. On Wednesday, in an interview with The New York Times, McCaskill cited Trump's inflammatory rhetoric as having had an impact, noting that it had been spread to rural voters by Fox News.

Her blame is misplaced. The voters in her state are more well educated in some ways than in the past. Too many of them have been bitten by corruption too many times and have learned more subtle, humble ways of improving their situation. And they’re not to blame, either.

We’re entering a new era.

Look at the enormous number of members of scattered, impoverished families around us. Look at the women. Social devastation is everywhere. Many of them nearly look like strays from a Juggalo gathering. Drugs, incarcerations, marked-up, unhealthy,... It’s time for us to act like our forerunners again, and even improve on that heritage.

Feminism (misogamy) is going away (re. Kavanaugh, Trump, and all of us). Women want to live, let live and stop being so miserable. They can’t be prevented forever from befriending men, starting businesses, rising to compete or even having children.

Yep. They need to silence conservatives. this is also why Acosta has tried so hard to get his hard pass revoked. They want to not report anything Trump says, or his admin, by getting the rest of the media to boycott press briefing. If they could they would have him banned from twitter and facebook.

It would be rude to say it to her face, but it would be objectively accurate.

Easy to fix. Replace the old media with new media. Replace CNN with Breitbart. Send a message.

Just another and continuing attack on free speech - they despise the USA and its principles.

Time for grandmotherly* activities, like yoga as per her dear leader Hillary’s example.

*Not sure if she is a grandmother, she does have three children, so there is a possibility. I was surprised to discover that her ex husband was murdered, (unsolved).

Nothing. There are NO Democrat moderates in the Senate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heitkamp in North Dakota tried the same thing. She pretended to be an independent thinker. The minute she voted against Kavanaugh she exposed what a true schumer boot licker she was and lost bigly.

Im so glad to see those two abortion queens be unemployed.

Dear Claire - eat s^7t.

One thing is certain, having beaten dogs bayin' & bitchin' about losin' ain't good for The Narrative, so enjoy the #Schadenfreude while you can, because the MSM isn't going to run another news cycle worth of Claire or Heidi or Dumbelly, or that freak in Ohio, Dick Cordray.

“The further you get from metropolitan areas, the more powerful Donald Trump is and the more allegiance there is to whatever he says and does.”

A Democrat admits America has taken back her country!

I’m rural MO and don’t have a TV but I do have a radio and heard her campaign ads about how she was born in Rolla because Houston was too small to have a hospital and that she’s just a small town girl who hasn’t forgotten where she comes from.

This was a couple months after she was caught flying her plane between stops on what was supposed to be an RV campaign tour. The RV would pick her up at the nearest regional airport and then she’d ride into town in the RV.

Crooked Claire is what I call her and foxnews has nothing to do with her crookedness.

Yes, she is without a doubt. And loved her job funding PP and murdering the unborn.

--------------

Can't recall ever viewing "The Week" before but it's filled with DemonRat misinformation (like the characterization of McCaskill as a "moderate".) so I won't be clicking on their site again.
