Fox News Anchor Calls Stephen Colbert an ‘Elitist A**’ Over Joke About Gas Prices

 Fox News Anchor Calls Stephen Colbert an 'Elitist A**' Over Joke About Gas Prices - Analyzing America

"Outspoken liberal comedian Stephen Colbert apparently thinks skyrocketing gas prices that hurt poor and middle-class Americans are funny.

“ 'Today the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high over $4 per gallon,” Colbert said. “Ok, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.”

“ 'I’m willing to pay $4 dollars a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla,” the 56-year-old comedian said, who has a net worth of $75 million.

"Fox Business anchor Dagen McDowell took issue with this joke. She responded by saying Stephen Colbert has a brand that “is unfunny, pompous, elitist a**.”

“ 'So at least he’s staying on that brand,” McDowell added.

"Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell added, “Leave it to a limousine liberal to tell you how to feel, what to think.”. . .

Biden’s America-Wrecking Climate Agenda

 The result? Americans are made to suffer unnecessarily and national security is imperiled, all for an agenda that is junk science-fueled and impractical, regardless of how you feel about United Nations’ “climate science.” This is not rational policy. It is intentional nation-wrecking.

 Biden’s America-Wrecking Climate Agenda | RealClearPolitics   " President Biden is driving fossil fuel-powered America into a wall so that he can replace it with a green energy-powered America. The Biden administration euphemizes this as a “transition.” It is not. It’s just a collision that will result in America being totaled.

"Since Joe Biden became president, he has done everything in his power to de-power America. On Day 1, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, halted new oil and gas drilling on public lands, and rejoined the Paris climate agreement, which commits America to cutting our greenhouse gas emissions but not China’s.

"Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency reinstated Obama-era rules to make it more expensive to produce oil and gas, issued rules to make internal combustion engine-powered cars more expensive, and gave green California the unprecedented (and probably unconstitutional) authority to dictate what kind of cars all Americans can drive. Biden has empowered the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with the authority to block new oil and gas pipelines on the basis of climate concerns, and is continuing to halt new oil and gas drilling on federal lands in defiance of a federal court order.

"These and many other anti-fossil fuel actions have raised gasoline prices roughly one dollar per gallon since Biden took office. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, exacerbating an ongoing global energy crisis (worsened by European climate policies). Gasoline prices have increased another 60 cents since the Ukraine invasion, and are not likely to stop rising any time soon.

. . ."No House Republicans voted to impeach Trump over the Ukraine call. However, Kinzinger was one of ten House Republicans who later voted to impeach Trump for inciting the January 6 Capitol riot. Kinzinger, one of two Republicans serving on the January 6 select committee investigating the Capitol riot, announced in October that he would not seek reelection.

“ 'I also remember during that campaign saying that if I ever thought it was time to move on from Congress, I would, and that time is now,” Kinzinger said in his announcement videoHe said at the time that he had become disillusioned with the level of money, corruption, and partisan vitriol plaguing the political system.

“ 'At this moment, that government is the problem and few have risen to do anything about it. Because in this day, to prevail or survive, you must belong to a tribe. Our political parties only survive by appealing to the most motivated and most extreme elements within. And the pricetag to power has skyrocketed,” Kinzinger lamented.". . .

“ 'You may have noticed that everyone you see on TV has exactly the same opinion of Ukraine, in fact exactly the same opinion of everything,” he began. “Those opinions are formed on Twitter which you probably don’t use since you don’t work in journalism, thank God.' ” . . .

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger: Wants to Start No-Fly Zone Over Ukraine |Newsmax.com  "To do a no-fly zone, I would have to put British fighter jets directly against Russian fighter jets," Britain's Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Friday.

"NATO will have to effectively declare war on Russia, because that's what you would do."

"But Kinzinger added a claim Putin would not respond with nuclear weapons if NATO were to impose and enforce a no-fly zone over Russia, albeit not addressing the possibility Putin could strike a NATO ally's airbase that might launch forces to defend the no-fly zone.". . .
