Fox Business show slams Seattle as 'socialist hellhole'

[TexasTowelie]

Fox Business host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery opened her show with a chyron that said “Senseless in Seattle,” and called the Seattle City Council communists for its minimum-wage law, gun tax and recent vote on an income tax on the wealthy.

Fox Business tweeted the segment, about 2 minutes long, on Wednesday.

.@KennedyNation: "Seattle used to be one of the most beautiful & livable cities in the world, but it has devolved into a Socialist hellhole"


“It’s just another example of how progressive laboratories halt progress by inviting the rich to leave, encouraging crime and hurting the poor they so disingenuously claim to help,” Montgomery said.

Montgomery pointed to a recent UW study saying Seattle’s minimum-wage law was costing low-wage workers hours and jobs. She said the law “punished Seattle’s poorest citizens.” Some critics have dismissed the UW study for excluding 40 percent of Seattle’s workforce, and a UC Berkeley study concluded the minimum-wage increase had helped restaurant employees.
