Fox News Host: AOC’s Popularity Is “Very, Very Scary”

Media Matters has the transcript:

BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): “So let’s talk Democrats. And for the most part, you’re looking at a party looking for leaders. But one thing they are getting is big crowds. And they’re getting big crowds where Bernie Sanders and AOC are traveling around. They’re going to areas, and there’s definitely people out there when you have 49, you know, when you have millions of people vote for Democrats, you can get a big crowd. I’m astounded to see Yale University did a survey, and it says that AOC is now in the second spot behind Kamala Harris as the most popular, but she’s supposed to be the working class socialist. A message to those that oligarchs are ruining this country, and the rich are gonna get richer unless she is voted in.”

AINSLEY EARHARDT: “You know, this is what, this is what we all feared. I remember when Bernie Sanders came on the scene, and he said, ‘I’m a socialist.’ We were like, ‘What? No one’s voting for you.’ Now look at these crowds. This is where our country is going, and it is very, very scary. They are socialist. They are so far to the left. They are progressive.”
