Marianne Williamson Caught On Hot Mic: 'Fox News Is Nicer to Me Than the Lefties'

[demmiblue]

Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson was caught on hot mic after an interview, claiming that right-wing cable network Fox News and conservatives are "nicer" to her than the political left.

"What does it say that Fox News is nicer to me than the lefties are? What does it say that the conservatives are nicer to me?" Williamson said after an interview with Eric Bolling on Sinclair Broadcast Group's America This Week last week. "It's such a bizarre world," she added.

"I didn't think the left was as mean as the right, they are," the activist and author asserted.

Bolling played the previously unreleased clip ahead of a follow-up Wednesday evening interview with the presidential candidate, confronting her over her criticism. Williamson was clearly caught off guard, explaining that she had previously been told that the clip would not be played.

Williamson is not the only one attacking 'the left' (whatever that nebulous caricature actually means).

1. You really don't know?

You are this cycles Jill Stein!

You're job is to disrupt and Faux will bend over backwards to do this!

Go away Marianne!

4. She and Tulsi

8. Exactly

And as someone who has some pretty far left ideals, I can certainly be mean on certain topics, ESPECIALLY if you think you have what it takes to be POTUS. Being a "lefty" doesn't mean I'm going accept someone running for office who relies on mystical bullshit as a self help guru. Not exactly the skillset for being cheif executive of the wealtheist, most powerful, nation on Earth.

2. They want you to keep providing "Dems are kooky" content...

Keep praying away hurricanes, crystal blue...

[RainCaster]

3. She is as mental as Faux News

and every bit as stupid.

Why she is still around is a mystery to me. Did she actually make the cut for the next debate?

5. No, thank dog. n/t

[DrToast]

6. You almost got it, Marianne. Keep going...

10. So Marianne, let's do a logic puzzle!

If:

A. Conservatives LIKE your ideas and are nice to you and;

B. Liberals DON'T LIKE your ideas and are not nice to you;

What do you think that means about your ideas?

[MattInMN]

17. If A and B, then...

...shouldn't you be running in the Republican primary?

[BlueMTexpat]

19. Bingo! eom

7. My confused sister...

who professes to be a liberal drumph hater but is covertly racist thinks this woman is the greatest...we don't talk much...

[demmiblue]

9. More (video): I understand why people on the right called them godless.

11. She doesn't know that she is the Circus Freak to Fox?

She is being used to tarnish liberals in the minds of their viewers.

[CloudWatcher]

12. Lefties?

I don't usually pay attention to the RW nut jobs, but isn't Lefties right up there with Libtards as an insult?

[jberryhill]

13. I am Marianne's complete lack of self awareness

[MrsCoffee]

15. Lol

[SergeStorms]

14. What it means, dear Marianne....

is that FOX wants to use you for their own nefarious purposes. If you can't clairvoyantly pick up on that.......well, I guess your psychic prowess isn't what you believe it to be. I know you believe you're best suited to be president of this country, but believe me (and most other politically savvy humans), you're not.

Now, will you and Ms. Gabbard please go away and start your own 'Psychic Friends' network, or something equally banal, or go cavort with your new-found conservative friends, and please leave presidential politics to the grownups. Thank you.

16. she wanted to pray Hurricane Dorian away.... (since deleted tweet)

"The Bahamas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas...may all be in our prayers now. Millions of us seeing Dorian turn away from land is not a wacky idea; it is a creative use of the power of the mind. Two minutes of prayer, visualization, meditation for those in the way of the storm."

As long as they remain useful.
