Fox News Panelist Appears to Endorse Secession in Bizarre Anti-Biden Rant

Fox News Panelist Appears to Endorse Secession in Bizarre Anti-Biden Rant
Fox News

The rise of far-right populist movements, accelerated under former President Donald Trump, has culminated in what is now one of the most harshly divided political climates in modern American history.

A shocking new survey from Bright Line Watch further confirmed this when asking its 2,750 respondents if they'd support secession from the United States of America.


Around 47 percent of Democrats on the West Coast said they would support the move. Even more disturbingly, 66 percent of southern Republicans said they would support seceding from the Union.

Secession was a topic on the Fox News show Gutfeld!—and it was met with a surprising expression of support from right-wing contributor Lisa Boothe.

Watch below.

Boothe said:

"I'm probably gonna get myself in trouble for this, but like, would it be the worst thing? I don't know, I'm sick and tired of people who hate this country, I'm sick and tired of who are saying the flag is some sort of this sign of evilness or oppression, who despise the country that we live in. I'm tired of the government now, people like Biden wanna weaponize the government against people who supported Trump. ... Would it be the worst thing, peacefully?"

It's unclear how secession from the United States is a logical response to "people who hate this country," but Boothe's musings were met with laughter from the show's hosts.

Social media users didn't think it was funny at all.





They began poking holes in the absurd argument.




The pro-secession sentiment was broadcast to millions of conservative viewers.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
