It’s their whole tone about everything. Whenever they mention a Democrat, they practically spit the name out in a spew of vitriol and eye-rolling. I remember way back when, when Gretchen Carlson was still on, and she was talking about Obama, and she said something like “President Obama says everyone will have health insurance - yeah right.” It’s their tone and those little asides and eye rolls that really get to you. Ugh.
