Fox News host (Dana Perino): 'I thought Americans would cheer,' not boo, Trump

Co-host Dana Perino admitted that she never expected that Trump would get booed by the crowd. "I'm proved completely naive," she said. "I was the one who thought the president should go to the game. I never thought he would get booed. I thought Americans won't do that, Americans would cheer."

...what Trump says about the polls as gospel? If so, is she truly unaware that Trump lies constantly? If so, how? How is that possible?

Or is she simply lying about being surprised that Trump got booed?

Indeed they have cheered on and participated in tearing down statues on other countries. Why on earth would they not expect Americans to follow suit?

Poor Dana - she hasn't seen anything yet.

They have accused us of wanting to undue the election and I do. It was corrupted. Trump should not have been elected. He is a psychopathic liar and is not fit to be President of the USA.

Isn't it her job to check out other cable channels? Has she never seen network TV? Or late night shows? Even Comedy Central has a show. Doesn't she see newspapers or magazines - at her doctor's or dentist's or auto dealership? Doesn't she have a car radio or take a cab with a radio playing? Or speak to other humans? Living in such a bubble is tough to imagine...

This is what she's saying between the lines, that those that booed aren't "real" Americans. F her!

That seems to be their "go to" excuse these days, even for the protest I attended here in northeastern New York...

I am not naive enough to think that there isn't a sizable minority of people in this country who vehemently support Trump. I don't watch Fox News or listen to right wing radio. I get that information from the mainstream news because the mainstream news typically reports information that is able to be observed, compiled, and presented in a factual manner.

Fox people, I guess this includes their hosts as well, live in a bubble that is devoid of facts that do not support their beliefs (which is likely the vast majority of fact). I am not surprised that Perino is "naive" especially is her only news sources are right wing.

That's the only way she didn't see that coming.

And that Trump went is further proof that he does not have anyone on staff that is able to tell him the truth.
