Fox News Says Government Advising Good Thermostat Temperatures Is Akin to Communism (crooksandliars.com)

Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump's Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren't any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

How they make their money is by constantly bitching at what a Democrat does and gladly misinterpret good policy or announcements to their own greedy benefit.

All while living in that Democrat-controlled area because it's much nicer than the Republican hellhole they keep clamoring for

But haven't you heard? All cities are crime-ridden hellscapes full of immigrants who will steal your job while also being lazy and collecting welfare, and who are brutish rapists/murderers but also sickly plague carriers, and who... don't always speak English. 😱

I always laughed at the "stealing jobs" comment.

There is no stealing involved. If anything they got outbid and their employer took the bait.
