She didn’t speak to me for years after that.

Glad to hear something good came out of it. : )

So this means the MSM will start being nicer to James O’keefe?

"Callum Borchers"

Why are you busy writing articles like this when you should be suing your parents? :)

Then, if this is true, a Post story on the professors who so poorly prepared her mentally for engaging on such a simple question as Cavuto's might be in order.

Clearly, the Post probably is not that interested in such exploratory journalism.

The scary thing: These mush brained “gimmies” are allowed to vote....the 47% just continues to increase! My advice: Get a job and deal with the real world!

Neil is an honorable and decent man. On the other hand, Callum Borchers at the WaPo seems to be an idiot.

No, the Washington Post editors are idiots for publishing the idiot Callum Borchers article. How incredibly immature they are — newspaper staff and child reporter.

I am curious why Cavuto didn’t ask the little girl if she considered going into the military and then using her GI Bill benefit to pay for her tuition.

I should change that to awful simplistic questions that a 5th grader would observe and ask her. Neil didn’t reach over to do rocket-science stuff. All she had to do is answer where this fantastic amount of money would come from. She acted like it just grows on trees.

Very much “entitled” infantile Keely Mullen tried to portray herself as if she’s from a working “Blue Collar Family.”

Her online profile at Shiftgig says she graduated from Francis W. Parker High School in Chicago. According to the Francis W. Parker School website, it offers kindergarten through 12th grade classes for which tuition tops out at $34,560.

Assessor records show that Mullen’s family has a home on West Wabansia Avenue in Chicago’s north side that carries a value of $989,990.

According to BlockShopper, the student’s father, Steven Mullen, paid a little more than $1 million for the home in 2005.

Neil was painfully gentle and kind to this nimrod. He asked her simple questions that she should have been able to answer. Saying he was wrong by not treating her like the immature, spoiled child she is does not cut it.

Maybe he should used words of one syllable or less to match her level of understanding.

well she couldn’t answer the 5th grade level questions, so I’m not sure why that was his fault. If he had asked her something appropriate for a college student with at least an economics 101 course to her name, it would have been even worse. I’m waiting for them to demand the govt print more money and give it away.

So his daughter’s education. Is not the only thing he lost money on. His house was a bad buy, too!

I agree with you 100% !! My feeling sorry for her was that she was so freaking stupid but thinks she is well educated and listened to someone who put her in front of a camera as a spokesperson when she needs to be back in junior high school.

The amazing thing is that she doesn't know how incompetent she is and have enough sense to keep her mouth shut in public..
