Hannity interviewed Donald Trump&#8217;s White House counsel, Alina Habba, for the umpteenth time in the few short weeks that she has held the position. She seems to have made Fox News her official workplace because she (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65296\" target=\"_blank\">just like his Anti-Press Secretary<\/a><\/strong>) appears on the network nearly every day, rather performing any useful duties for which the American people are paying her. Which is something that she shares with all of the other Trump staffers that he recruited directly from Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64165\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On this episode of Hannity, the two Trump mouthpieces took time to cast childish insults at a favorite target of the MAGA right, Democratic representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They were upset that AOC recently had <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/5125508-ocasio-cortez-musk-one-of-the-most-unintelligent-billionaires-i-have-ever-met\/\" target=\"_blank\">correctly described Elon Musk<\/a><\/strong>, Trump&#8217;s oligarch pal and co-president, as lacking intelligence and morality. She said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed <em>[and that]<\/em> the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has, I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we know of.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>AOC was right, and has the goods to prove it. Contrary to the myth that he has built around himself, he has invented nothing. He bought Tesla from the engineers who developed it. He also bought SpaceX and Twitter from their founders. But he takes all of the credit for whatever value they may have left. Which is a character flaw that he shares with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Elimination (DOGE) has executed on such a disastrously stupid level that he has had to undo much of what he claimed to have done. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65525\" target=\"_blank\">savings he crowed about are imaginary<\/a><\/strong> and were quietly removed from his website. And the courts have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/mar\/13\/federal-court-orders-fired-workers-doge\" target=\"_blank\">ordered the workers that he tried to fire<\/a><\/strong> to be returned to their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the pair of Trump-fluffers on Fox felt compelled to attack AOC with the classic <em>&#8220;I know you are but what am I&#8221;<\/em> gambit. They launched into the following exchange that they surely thought closed the subject on who is really intelligent&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Hannity:<\/strong> I love when AOC lectures Elon Musk about not being intelligent. I\u2019m like, &#8220;Oh, she\u2019s such a genius.&#8221; I\u2019m inspired by her every word.<br \/>\n<strong>Habba:<\/strong> You [AOC] were in the bar. You were in a bar. You were in a bar, AOC. Calm down. And not to have a drink, to serve one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s examine this assault strategy a bit farther, shall we? First of all, we have college dropout Sean Hannity, and Trump&#8217;s parking lot lawyer, Alina Habba, mocking AOC&#8217;s intelligence. Had they done even the slightest bit of research they would know that she graduated Cum Laude from Boston University with degrees in international relations &#038; economics.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, the <em>&#8220;evidence&#8221;<\/em> of their intellectual insult is that AOC worked her way through college as a bartender. So to Hannity and Habba having working class roots and honorable jobs is an insult. They seem to think it&#8217;s even worse to be employed as a bartender than to be a drinking patron of a bar. Maybe that&#8217;s why they love Trump&#8217;s alcoholic Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth so much.<\/p>\n<p>The insult that they lobbed at AOC actually hits every American who works in bars, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and every other non-professional type of employment. Auto mechanics, and construction workers, and nursing assistants and teachers are also regarded by them as lacking intelligence. Even if those jobs were held temporarily many years ago while they obtained advanced degrees.<\/p>\n<p>This is a common bias on the right. They have always looked down on working people. And their political agenda has always sought to disadvantage them, while simultaneously providing substantial, undeserved benefits to corporations and the wealthy instead. And that is more true in the MAGA era than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Yet somehow, they still have the gall to try to brand themselves as champions of the common man. Fortunately, they can also be depended on to expose their their repugnant views due to their own intellectual deprivation (note to MAGA: that means dumb).<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65559\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News is OUTRAGED that Americans Hate Musk and Trump Just Because They\u2019re Destroying America<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65525\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Flunky Slobbers Over Trump for Finding 100s of Billions in Fraud that He Never Found<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65489\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Trump-Fluffer Insists that the Coming Trump Recession Has Nothing To Do With Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a certain stench of superiority in virtually everything that Fox News airs.
