Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how “normal” a group of “closeted” Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to “haunt” her.
“All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures,” Kosinski wrote.
Kosinski, a former correspondent for both CNN and NBC News, wrote that one couple in the group wouldn’t allow their kids to apply to Ivy League universities, but were “weird” about explaining their reasoning. Others used air-quotes while talking about climate change.
“The others—when they realized that a few in their presence came armed with (gasp) actual facts (NO!)—quickly changed the subject and nervously said they don’t want to talk politics. They realized they would be eviscerated on all idiotic points, especially on the economy,” Kosinski said.
Kosinski said it was funny how “extremist” or “wrong” beliefs can leak out from those who you least expect, but warned, “they are out there.”
“This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so… normal. When I asked the couple who were my old friends how THEY didn’t know, they said that in their upscale FL neighborhood, people are extremely careful not to ever broach or debate the subject. This is not healthy,” Kosinski continued in her thread. …

That’s why I dont sit with commies they are all vile garbage
Eviscerated? By what? If a discussion had ensued, she’d have left the table in tears or screamed like a body-snatched pod person.
They don't think the way She wants them to. Therefore, they are "extremist" or "wrong".
Typical intolerant and ignorant leftist.
extremist” or “wrong” beliefs”
That’s their description of people who don’t believe in made-up weather crises.
The entire left is totally insane.
No, Michelle, once they realized that you'd spout your leftist talking points and that you'd never listen to actual facts and logic, they saw no point in having any conversation with you. But you spin it the way you want, like any leftard.
Couldn’t have been very “closeted” if they spoke about MAGA so freely with a known “Never-Trumper.”
LoL! She got cooties!
Inside the leftist bubble, if you do not go along with the groupthink, you are shunned.
Virtue signaling for a hotter spot at the network is my guess.
MAGA people are normal. It’s the far left who aren’t.
Assuming this is real she meet normal people not infected with TDS and was surprised and scared
Unless this story is complete fiction, I could see this happening. The 'MAGA' folks weren't interested in getting into contentious arguments with a leftist who was not interested in listening, but just in spouting the MSM/DNC slogans. Life is too short to waste on talking to closed minds.
I have never seen a liberal win a debate. They probably moved on to something different, so she wouldn’t have a meltdown.
By the way, I wish "traditional" would someday replace "conservative" in the political lexicon. The Left has so managed to effectively demonize the word "conservative" over the years that it's become almost a pejorative. "Traditional" just has a more welcoming feel about it, maybe.
Yeah, because clearly the economy is just awesome and everyone is happy spending 14 bucks at McDonald’s now.
