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.

Notice to Claire, Her ex constituents tune the TV to Fox News.
It's isn't the default channel on the TV or Cable Box.

How did she become a moderate in the last 10 days of the election? Now she will have to get a real job.

That's like asking "do you want apple pie or pumpkin pie for dessert?" at Thanksgiving dinner.

I always answer YES! :-)

Claire would have been gone last time if not for the Pubbie who opened his mouth and uttered the words “legitimate rape”.

She wouldn’t have been elected at all if it weren’t for St. Louis and big city hanky panky.

I’ve been waiting 6 long years for another chance to vote her out. I didn’t hear anything about her from fox. Her record is readily available, and it smelled like stank like a skunk.

McCaskill: “Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric . . . had been spread to rural voters by Fox News.”

McCaskill exposes her true disdain for much of Missouri.

She should have come out and said what she really meant: those gullible, dumb hicks got played again.

Well you seem ma’am, there’s your problem. It doesn’t really matter what you call them or label them anyone wanting to go back to the Obama years in today’s economy and improved security and also bringing back animated skeletons like Nancy Pelosi to run the house, Mad Maxine scene in charge of Finance and in my case a grandholm clone to beat down any rebuilding, growth, optimism growing in Michigan with all the obligatory soak the rich, make middle-class American pay their fair share, and we’re coming after you approach to businesses well, there is a word for that and you can’t escape the crazy. No real way to be a level-headed, sane, Democrat capital D. Not to mention how some people could look any of their constituents in the face again after voting to go along with the crazed mob that treated Justice Kavanagh and his family so disgracefully is if they were in some South American Backwater kangaroo court. While we didn’t have a full Blue Wave, we certainly did have mass Hysteria and mental illness. Fact.

I guess the election wasn’t close enough for the demcrats to steal the election. Less than 1% and they can find a few thousand votes, alive or dead..

I stopped reading as soon as I saw the word “moderate” used to describe McCaskill. That immediately told me this was nothing more than propaganda.

You lost McCaskill. Go away.

The people of Missouri outside the koolaid drinking Leftist contingent had enough of her lying and hypocrisy. She was finished as soon as she had to run against an opponent who wasn’t hand picked to give her the election. Fox had zero to do with it. But, Democrats can never, ever admit that they are the problem.
