Kilmeade re VF article mentioning Beto's library: "As if it's a big plus that he reads books."

From Media Matters - the thread title had to condense their headline:

Brian Kilmeade complains that Vanity Fair feature on Beto O'Rourke "point[s] out that he has this huge library. As if it's a big plus that he reads books."

Fox & Friends never disappoints if you want to see an unwitting (and witless) parody of journalism.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

reads? When we have the Squatter-in-Chief acting on his gut and insisting national security briefs be delivered in graphics.

Because picture books are so-o-o much better.

And the proof? All those fantastic deals he's managed not to wrangle.

Hard to believe even a Fox watcher buys into this garbage.
