Fox News host Emily Campagno and the right-wing panel on Outnumbered were furious over an innocuous study which showed that having cats as pets on campus helps relieve stress for students.

Oh, the horror!

Remember, when all Fox News did for over a year was to vilify the Biden administration because students in all grades were suffering and battling depression during the pandemic while being forced to wear masks?

On October 31st, the Fox News website published an article about a new study of stress relief. Cats at college? 'Highly emotional' students may benefit from felines on campus: study

Nothing controversial at all. Nothing political or emotional.

That is, until today.

During the final segment on Outnumbered, co-host Emily Campagno opened with this:

"College students have it so rough these days, from climate anxiety to just the idea of a conservative speaker on campus. It is all so stressful. Well now thankfully a new study finds intervention with cats on campuses may help stressed out students. I guess taxpayers picking up the student loan tab wasn't enough," Campagno smugly said.

Let it go, Emily. Forgiving some student debt helps all families across this country. Also, no taxpayers were charged for the student debt.

Julie Banderas joined the fray.

"I love cats, I just want to say that. They are comforting, but if you're in college and you need a cat but yet you have the anxiety level of a protester where you're out there protesting about everything on campus, then I don't know if you really need a cat, I'm not really sure. This is another example how we are raising snowflakes."

What?

"If you honestly can't make it in college, just drop out,"

Holy sh*t.

I thought education was big for MAGA conservatives.

Seeking stress relief makes a student a snowflake? Even after the severe depression caused by the pandemic that Fox News cried about endlessly?

Campagno was not going to be outdone.

"I don't think they need cats, they need discipline, a slap in the face," Campagno said.

All that anger over cute kittens.

Fox News promotes the idea that if a Republican doesn't like something, just smack it.

Violence is seeping into every pore of conservative media. There’s nothing “conservative” about using violence against others. But this is what they espouse.
