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.

I wonder what she calls MSLSD. Happy retirement, Claire.
Tell me if referring to Claire McCaskill as a bitter loser
A) is really rude
B) is objectively accurate
Well...she would be correct if referring to PBS or NPR as the state-owned news channel.
McCaskill, had she come out and supported Kavanaugh’s nomination...probably would have picked up at least 50,000 additional votes.
:)
I’ll take A) for 500, Alex.
Really??
“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...”
Here’s my problem with this. What in McCaskill’s voting record makes her a moderate.
Just because she was pretending to be moderate to get reelected doesn’t mean she gets to censor all opposing views on her “moderation.”
Freakin BOO HOO....
.....oops....typo.....should be b......
She was an extremist but in the closet about it.
She is now taking on H->! characteristics as a looser.
LOL! One of the first supporters of Obama.
This tells you why the Dems and their social media partners are so intent on shutting down conservative news sources. The message, when it gets out, is devastating to them with moderates.
McCaskill dug her own grave......wanted her staff investigated......for telling the truth. Why is McCaskill trying to hide her PP connections?
McCaskill campaign staffers are caught on video explaining that P/Parenthood secretly funnels
pro-abort donations to her to avoid the scrutiny of Missouri’s conservative electorate.
“PP goes through other means to get us that money. Not that PP doesn’t support Claire,
it’s because they know it’s a tough state to win for a pro-abort Democrat.”
McCaskill is playing the same fool-the-stupid-voters game as Louisiana loser Landrieu.
Democrat Landrieu got caught saying she had to “talk down” to the home folks.
They were “too stupid” to understand why she said one thing to them then voted the opposite.
Oddly enough, that same inflammatory rhetoric from Trump is what Democrats cited as the catalyst that brought out the vote for them.
Exposure.....
Nothing. There are NO Democrat moderates in the Senate. Not even the ballyhooed Manchin of WV. A moderate is someone who votes at least right 30-75% of the time (in the broadest term). McCaskill had a lifetime rating of 11% from the ACU. She got a 4% Conservative rating in 2017.
Manchin got an 8%, and that was the highest rating for any Senate Democrat in 2017. Virtually the entire Democrat membership votes in lockstep and all but 6 members scored a 0% (perfect ultra-left) rating.
Has she had a look at CNN?
The correction is appreciated.
