Fox & Friends: Taylor Swift Probably Didn't Write Pro-Democrat Instagram Post Herself

Charlie Kirk simultaneously praises Swift's female empowerment message while telling her to shut up.

Fox & Friends is struggling to compute Taylor Swift's headline-making endorsement of Democratic candidate Phil Bredesen in her home state of Tennessee. In fact, the hosts don't think she really did it. Founder of the Turning Point USA think-tank Charlie Kirk told the show Monday morning that he suspects Swift had help writing her first outspoken political statement. Kirk said: “It's relatively clear... I don't want to accuse her of this, but I don't think she's the only one who wrote that post on Instagram. She probably got some very bad information.” Kirk added, apparently missing the irony of his statement: “This is what I used to love about Taylor Swift is she stayed away from politics—she was all about music all about, you know, female empowerment.” He went on: “Look Taylor Swift, I love your music, personally, Kanye West, I'm a bigger fan of his. I wish you would have not done this. Stay away from politics.”
