Narrative Analysis: Name Calling

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. And somehow, like morons trying to pick up a bowling ball with tweezers, they related it to communism. (NARRATOR: They've got no clue what it is. Just a scare word to them) After bragging about Trump giving a speech in 107 degree weather, they transitioned into this. KILMEADE: Mamdani weighed in on the heat record.... EARHARDT: Oh, my Gosh! JONES: Unbelievable. EARHARDT: We've had blackouts here in New York and I've lived through one of those where the power goes out because the grid can't handle it all. read more
