Katie Couric: Many Trump Voters Motivated by ‘Anti-Intellectualism
Breitbart ^ | 04/16/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/16/2024 10:41:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former CBS ”Evening News” anchor Katie Couric said Sunday on comedian Bill Maher’s podcast “Club Random” that many of former President Donald Trump’s voters were driven by anti-intellectualism.

Couric said, “I’m talking about overall income inequality and even taking race out of it, the huge chasm between the uber, uber, uber wealthy and people who don’t have 400 dollars in and emergency, it has never been such a stark divide.”

She continued, “The socio-economic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment, which are Trump voters, or anti establishment voters so, I think that is a huge problem that we have to address. I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society. I mean I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful, it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling. And I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and on top of that are looking down on them it is just a recipe for such anger and grievance.”

On her next appearance maybe she can explain why most of our educated “elites” are such fools. e.g., “sex is merely a social construct.”

If we were anti-intellectual, we would love Katie Couric.

The weird thing is that she thinks we suffer from ‘elite class envy’ and ‘anti-intellectualism’ when we support one of the wealthiest and most materially successful men in the country, one who graduated from the Ivy League Wharton School.

And yet she will support a plagiarist who graduated 76th out of 85 students in his law school class.

The MAGA crowd has just been judged and found wanting by the woman known as “Perky.”

I entered college just a few years before she probably did. Back then, ‘American Studies’ was the least demanding major one could choose.

I think it still is.

Cringeworthy. She used a lot of big words but said nothing.

She speaks to the level grade level of her audience.

I don't think "American Studies" is even allowed to be taught anymore. In fact, I don't think any woke DEI companies would hire someone with an American Studies degree.

These numbskulls can’t or won’t speak in sentences. They are incoherent.
