Reaction to Roger Ailes’ Death is Exactly What You Expected

The country woke up to the news this morning that Roger Ailes, the man who helped Fox News become a network powerhouse, had died at age 77. Ailes, of course, left the network earlier this year amid numerous reports of sexual misconduct in the workplace; he was rarely heard from following his exit.

Many Fox News personalities were quick to offer their condolences.

Today America lost one of its great patriotic warriors. Roger Ailes. For Decades RA’s has impacted American politics and media.

Hannity actually went on a many-tweets-long tribute to Ailes. And the hosts of Fox & Friends cried when breaking the news of his death.

Then there’s the reaction from the left. They once again prove themselves to be the feckless, God-less morons they glory in being.

Roger Ailes has died. Wow. Sending deep and heartfelt condolences to everyone who was abused, harassed, exploited, and unjustly fired by him

I’ve decided Chris Cornell is doing God a favor by providing vocals to the soundtrack of Roger Ailes’s descent into hell.

You get the picture. A quick spin around the #RogerAiles hashtag is a good snapshot of how awful social media can be when combined with a rabid leftist ideology. Meanwhile, these same people fell to their virtual knees in agony over the death of Fidel Castro.
