Fox & Friends Guest Blames Obama for Ariana Grande and Unpatriotic Millennials
by Ken Meyer | 2:38 pm, July 9th, 201
On the Thursday morning episode of Fox & Friends, everyone was fuming about Ariana Grande, who was captured on video licking donuts at a shop and saying I hate America.
Grande has since apologized for her remarks and said that her words were taken out of the childhood-obesity context she was going for, but the show hosts said that it was clear evidence that millennials are unpatriotic on principle, and President Obama is to blame.
Outdoor Channel host and former Miss Kansas Theresa Vail said she was disgusted by Grandes lack of decency to her own fan base, and dismissed her apology as a maneuver to save her career, which Steve Doocy previously described as on the ropes.
I dont care what context she said that was meant in, Vail said. She should know as a public figure that everything you say and do is taken at face-value. Perception is reality for the public.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade also got in on the discussion by blasting Grande for making the decision to walk into the shop and using that as an opportunity to make comments about the entire country. Vail said that she did not know what the solution to the problem was, but speculated as to what was truly the root of all evil on this issue:
For the past six or seven years and thats a good chunk of a millennials adult life weve had a president who doesnt believe in American exceptionalism and doesnt speak up for the American values this country was built on. Can you blame millennials for their modicum of patriotism when for the majority of our adult lifetime, we have not witnessed anything to make us think differently?

(11,238 posts)7. Conservatives are afraid of millennials. They need to discredit them.
This idea that one young celebrity's statement stands for what an entire generation thinks is absurd on its face.

count on them to bring out the "Obama made me do it!" defense.
