Fox host: ‘Without question, Elizabeth Warren is the devil’ and Wall Street will defeat her


Fox Business host Melissa Francis (Fox News/screen grab)

“And I can tell you from talking to people in the financial industry, in banking, on Wall Street, they think she is actually the devil,” the Fox Business host continued. “I mean, without question, Elizabeth Warren is the devil. So, they’re going to put any money they have behind Hillary Clinton, which should be a help.”

Andrea Tantaros argued that Warren’s populist message was a “political winner.”

“We all hate the banks because of what they did a few years ago,” guest host Bernard McGuirk remarked.

“No, we don’t!” Francis shot back. “Speak for yourself!”

But in the end, McGuirk opined that Warren was a “radical leftist” who couldn’t win.

“So was President Obama,” Tantaros sighed. “They drudged up all that info, but the media hid it.”

Talk about turning your opponent's strength into a weakness. Every media purchase will just be one more flaunting of the ill-gotten wealth these Wall Steet conmen have stolen. Is there any group more broadly and deeply despised in this country than Wall Street bankers?

While we may have fun laughing about how deranged they are, it is important to realize they are deadly serious and do have influence in a lot of towns across the country.
Palin would never have been elected Mayor of Wasilla and governor of Alaska without the fundies.

I'm pretty sure I could effortlessly find at least 100 verses in the Bible that condemns the greed of Wall Street. Americans have really gotten bamboozled by the whole "greed is good" mantra.

that anyone even slightly left of Herr Bush is a "radical leftist".

Obama (and Hillary) is right-of-center. Warren is probably a solid liberal, a progressive.

A radical leftist?? HA!

in this upside down world, where at least half the population grew up in an environment permeated by the Judeo-Christian ethic, and a sizable number of those are Christians, a faith which is 'supposed' to believe that the money-changers should be thrown out of the temple and that they have less chance of entering the kingdom of heaven than a camel has passing through the eye of a needle, could someone who opposes these people be called the devil. Always nice to get confirmation that you're doing the right thing, though - just check what Fox News says and the opposite is the truth, or at least a lot closer to it!

So naturally, as all CNBC alums do, they go from a right-wing shithouse to the ultimate alpha-right-wing shithouse, where they're free to red-bait and laissez-fluff as loud as humanly possible, without pretense or repercussion.

Is anyone surprised that the notions of reason, economic stability, logic and long-term focus are now the fancy of "RADUCAL LEFTITS!!1!1!!!!" Fucking idiots.

She's anti Wall Street shyster. You know, the ones who gambled away the mortgage money and threatened to tank the world economy if they weren't bailed out with taxpayer's money. Then they had the gall to give themselves bonuses for failure with the bailout money.
Wall Street should be lined with guillotines and head baskets.

She's not ag Wall Street itself.

ever heard of the phrase "it takes one to know one"?

Obviously Faux news staff "know" a devil when they see one, they need only look in the mirror for comparison.

Though obviously Faux news staff are masters at projection...

and....

“We all hate the banks because of what they did a few years ago,” guest host Bernard McGuirk remarked.

“No, we don’t!” Francis shot back. “Speak for yourself!”


So basically Francis admitted that she wanted Wall Street to break the country. Talk about treasonous...
