Fox News Host Ainsley Earhardt: Trump’s a ‘Rust Belt’ Guy, a ‘Blue-Collar’ Worker

Fox & Friends   co-host   Ainsley Earhardt   claimed Friday morning that President Trump is a Rust Belt blue-collar worker, seemingly ignoring all reality.

The claim came while Earhardt described how it would be interesting if Trump faced off with former Vice President Joe Biden—whom she also described in those terms—in the 2020 election.

Praising the president’s   Thursday night Ohio campaign rally , Earhardt said on   Fox & Friends   that it would be tough to defeat Trump if the “economy continues to stay strong” and he remains “strong on immigration.”

She continued: “It’s interesting that America is favoring either President Trump or Joe Biden depending on what party you are in,” Earhardt noted, as her co-host Steve Doocy added: “That would be a contrast.”

Earhardt, who also believes   McDonald’s workers make tips , continued: "They’re both Rust Belt people though. They’re both, like, blue-collar workers that have money, but blue-collar.”

During his rally on Thursday, the president—who is the son of a multi-millionaire who was born and raised in New York and who famously has an apartment mansion plated in 24K gold and marble—painted himself as being from Cincinnati, telling the crowd he worked in the city for years and had “great success.” In reality, his father owned apartments in the area and sold the complex in 1972, with the younger Trump   having little-to-no involvement in the property .

‘Fox & Friends’ Host Apparently Believes McDonald’s Workers Make Tips

“If you’re working at McDonald’s or a small little restaurant where you're making tips, you are right. If you are nice to the people, you make a lot of money,” Earhardt said.

Reacting to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) calling for the federal minimum wage to be raised to $20 an hour,   Fox & Friends   host Ainsley Earhardt insisted on Tuesday that minimum wage jobs were meant to give workers a start in the workforce before falsely claiming that fast-food workers supplement their incomes with tips.

Following the House of Representatives   passing a bill last week   that would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour,   Tlaib said   that due to the price of goods and services, the true minimum wage should be “$18 to $20 an hour at this point.” She also blasted the federally mandated minimum wage for tipped workers, which is currently set at $2.13 an hour.

Discussing Tlaib’s remarks on   Fox & Friends , co-host Steve Doocy seemed genuinely surprised about tipped workers’ wages, saying he “did not realize” that their minimum wage was $2.13 an hour before saying Tlaib wants to exponentially increase it. He then used   a presidential contender’s campaign   to make a point.

“However, as we heard from Bernie Sanders in the last 48 hours or so,” Doocy stated. “He will start paying his employees $15 an hour, but he will have to cut back their hours because they cannot afford it.”

Earhardt chimed in, asserting that small businesses can’t afford minimum wage increases before claiming they would engage in widespread firings in wages went up significantly. Doocy, meanwhile, highlighted Congressional Budget Office estimates that showed there was a chance that increasing the minimum wage could impact unemployment.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade then waxed nostalgic about his time as a busboy, saying it was “one of the best jobs” he could have breaking in because “you work hard” and “you get great tips,” adding that any paycheck you get at that point is a bonus. He also had some advice to those not earning enough from one job.

"If one job doesn’t pay enough, guess what you do, you, you get another job,” he exclaimed. “That’s what you do in your twenties. Having two part-time jobs while going to school is something people have done since the turn of the last century.” 

Earhardt, meanwhile, piggybacked on Kilmeade’s commentary while adding some questionable “facts” of her own. 

“Minimum wage job is not meant to be a career—it’s meant to help you get a start,” she said. “We were in high school or college when I was waiting tables. Most of those people, at very fine restaurants, that is their career, but they make tons of money.”

She continued: “If you’re working at McDonald’s or a small little restaurant where you're making tips, you are right. If you are nice to the people, you make a lot of money."

Needless to say, workers at McDonald’s or other similar fast-food restaurants generally don’t make tips.

This isn’t the first time that Earhardt has made an embarrassing on-air gaffe. Last summer,   she defended America’s greatness   by saying the United States “defeated communist Japan” in World War II.

Trump's only connection to being blue collar seemingly is that he is a blowhard who likes to insult people. If you crossed King Louie the 14th of France with Ralph Cramden and then Don Rickles you would end up with something like Trump. A rich know nothing who likes to attack people with words. 

Through inheritance, Trump was a millionaire before he was ten years old.  There is no record of him ever working a blue collar job, or living in blue collar housing. 

His attachment to "regular people" is a facade.

He has a big connection to blue collar people - he screws them over by not paying them, his family screws them over on rent controlled apartments, his family doesn't remove the vermin infestations of their apartments the blue collar folks live in, and so on.

Earhardt was hired as a reporter for WLTX-News 19, the local CBS station in Columbia, South Carolina, before she graduated from USC. [3] From 2000 to 2004 she worked as the morning and noon anchor. She traveled to New York City after the September 11 attacks to cover South Carolina middle school students' raising nearly half a million dollars for firefighters to buy a new fire truck to replace one lost at the World Trade Center site.[4]

In 2005, Earhardt moved to San Antonio, Texas, and anchored weekday newscasts of KENS-TV Eyewitness News This Morning(5:00–7:30 a.m.) and Eyewitness News at Noon(both #1 rated shows).[3][5] While living in Texas, she completed the Austin, Texas half-marathon, went skydiving with the U.S. Army's Golden Knights and, at the Air Force Academy, flew in an F-16 with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.[4]

Earhardt has written two children's books, Take Heart, My Child and Through Your Eyes, and a memoir, The Light Within Me.[6]

Fox NewsEdit

She moved to New York City and began at Fox News Channel in 2007.[4] Earhardt has stated that she "did not know the first thing about politics" before she was hired by Roger Ailes to work at Fox News.[3] She is the co-host of Fox & Friends. She has appeared on Hannity with her own segment called "Ainsley Across America". Since joining the network, she has also co-hosted Fox and Friends Weekend, Fox's All-American New Year's Eve, America's News Headquarters, been a panelist on The Live Desk and appeared on Greg Gutfeld's Red Eye.

She has stated that she is a fair journalist who wants "to ask tough questions" and "does not want to come across as being in the tank for" the Trump administration.[3] During her tenure on the show Fox & Friends, Trump tweeted about the show more than 100 times in the first eight months of his presidency.[3]

She has interviewed President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.[7] During a 2018 interview with, she praised Trump for threatening having audio recordings of former FBI Director James Comey, stating it "was a smart way to make sure he stayed honest" in Congressional hearings.[8][3][9][10][11] Shortly prior to the interview, Trump had withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement; Earhardt asked him about this, "Why did President Obama — why did his administration think this agreement was okay for America?"[8]In a previous interview with Mike Pence, she described the climate agreement as "unfair" to the United States.[3] Earhardt defended Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey, saying "he gets to decide who works for him. Someone who works for him who is not supportive of him, he gets rid of them."[12]Amid the Trump administration's negotiations with the Kim Jong Un, Fox & Friends ran North Korean images of Kim Jong Un touring industry in his country; Earhardt described the images as "very romantic".[13] In 2017, she claimed that "5.7 million... illegal immigrants might have voted" in the 2008 election.[14]

In May 2019, after The New York Timesdocumented Trump's "deep financial distress" between 1985 and 1994, which included losing more money than almost any other American taxpayer, Earhardt praised Trump, saying “it's pretty impressive, all the things that he's done in his life. It's beyond what most of us could ever achieve."[15][16][17] She also criticized "the liberal media", saying that Republicans will not run for office anymore "because they know the liberal media is going to take them down."[17] In October 2018, after The New York Timesdocumented how Trump obtained nearly half a billion dollars from his father through "dubious tax schemes" and possibly tax fraud, Earhardt accused the Times of "bashing his dad".[18]

According to Business Insider, "few subjects animate her more than stories about alleged attacks on Christianity."[3] When a Missouri Sheriff's Department was criticized for putting "In God We Trust" decals on their squad cars, Earhardt defended the sheriff's department, asking "What about the majority? I'm so tired of protecting the rights of the minority. What about the rest of the country?"[3]  Earhardt's first marriage to Kevin McKinney in April 2005 ended in divorce in 2009. In October 2012, Earhardt married former Clemson University quarterback Will Proctor.[19][20][21] She gave birth to a girl on November 6, 2015.[22][23] After six years of marriage, Proctor filed for divorce in October 2018 after Earhardt announced their separation amid allegations that he had been unfaithful.[24] Earhardt is a Christian.[25][26] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainsley_Earhardt

I've been under the impression that the left defends women and is inclusive. After reading the comments on this seed, I learned that I was wrong. The descriptions of Ainsley Earhardt include the following mockery: skank, titty bar, strip club, porn references, bimbo. 

Those are far from acceptable when describing respectable women, which, as far as I know, Ms. Earhardt is, even if one disagrees with her comments or politics.

Once again, some have shown intolerance and worse ... and base it upon identity politics. Thank you for exposing yourselves.

"They’re both Rust Belt people though. They’re both, like, blue-collar workers that have money, but blue-collar.”

What the fuck? Since when does being born rich, living your entire life in luxury because of your parent's wealth, and having jerking off being the most work your hands have ever done make you a blue collar worker?
