What's with the Jesse Waters/Taylor Swift thing? He's saying she's working for the government?
I also saw that some people are speculating that the Alaska Airlines plane that had trouble was somehow the fault of DEI hires that did..something and something?
Like, what are these lame theories? I can see how the right-wing talking heads are trying to take attention away from "corporate malfeasance" (some of these guys are literally paid to do this and I mentioned this when Signature Bank collapsed and some outlets ran some ridiculous op-eds) but the Taylor Swift one is so lame and weird that the guys repeating that stuff should be ashamed to say it. Seriously, how can a grown man on tv be talking about Taylor Swift being a psy-op?

The point with the Taylor Swift hate is that she called on her legions of fans (called “Swifties”) to vote Democrat. After Gen-Zers helped turn the GQP’s so-called “Red Wave” in 2022 into a puddle, right wingers are pissed, and concerned about a repeat performance this year, thus the attacks on Swift who dared to step out of her lane and enter the political arena.

It's hack commentary. She's popular so they know that if they talk about her they'll get views. But because she's a democrat, they have to act like she's Satan. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Waters and his family own Swift's records and enjoy them when they're at home.
It's the return of the old anti-Affirmative Action/quotas trope. That these corporations are somehow being forced to hire unqualified minorities and the quality of everything has gone down.I also saw that some people are speculating that the Alaska Airlines plane that had trouble was somehow the fault of DEI hires that did..something and something?

Their goal is to make money slamming her for being woke. Just like the anti-SJW you tubers. There's no way they actually all that much about Taylor Swift. Remember they tried to go after Marvel because supposedly Steve was being replaced by a gay teenager? How about pregnant Joker?
While I have never followed him all that closely, is it news that Waters in a rodeo clown?
It has been his bit about as far back as I can recall.
