Fox News Anchor On The CIA Torture Report: ‘America Is Awesome’

America is awesome. NO ONE DENIES THIS (that’s not true). It’s the home of deep-fried Twinkies, TruckNutz, and Jessica Chastain. That’s a solid track record. But the U.S. has done some decidedly not-awesome things, like “waterboarding…conducting mock executions…depriving the detainee of necessary food, water, or medical care.” That comes from the C.I.A. “Torture Report,” a brutal summation of our interrogation programs. You can read the most “gruesome moments” here, or let Fox News’ Andrea Tantaros sum up her feelings on it:

“The United States of America is awesome, we are awesome. We’ve closed the book on [torture], and we’ve stopped doing it. And the reason they want to have this discussion is not to show how awesome we are. This administration wants to have this discussion to show us how we’re not awesome.” (Via)

With all due respect to Teagan and Sara…

…everything is not awesome.
