WATCH: Shirtless Trump Supporter Puts CNN ‘Reporter’ in Her Place With Awesome Responses After She Suggests He’s Too Rich to Have Concerns About the Economy
The wisdom of the MAGA crowd continues to be grossly underestimated by liberal media propagandists across America, causing them to get humiliated time and again.
In a segment aired on Anderson Cooper 360° Wednesday evening, CNN reporter Elle Reeve went to Florida to interview Trump supporters attending a MAGA flotilla/boat parade organized by the Bay County Republican Party in Panama City Beach’s Shell Island. The purpose of her trip was supposedly to gauge opinions on the issues important to Trump supporters.
Things then went south for Reeve, who eventually encountered a shirtless, beer-drinking man named Joe Harner. She started by asking him what his most important issue was, to which Harner said the economy. He explained that things were too expensive thanks to high interest rates and other factors.
Reeve then tried to entrap him with an “impolite” question that essentially accused him of being too rich to understand the economy. She claimed that he could not be suffering under the Biden-Harris economy because he owns a boat.
Harner responded to her rudeness with an awesome response, colorfully pointing out he earned every dime of his money, which allowed him to retire comfortably. Moreover, other people have the same opportunities he took advantage of.
Reeve then tried a different approach, attempting to claim that since groceries only make up a fraction of his spending, she finds it interesting that people like him are still concerned about the economy.
Harner again put Reeve in her place. He stated the economy covers ALL AMERICANS, not just a select few, and that he wants to have more purchasing power like any wise person.
It’s safe to say the elitist CNN propagandist was not prepared for the humiliation.

Transcript:
REEVE: What’s your most important issue?
HARNER: The economy, getting the interest rates down, getting it where we can afford to live in America. Right now, it’s too expensive.
REEVE: OK, now, let me maybe ask him, like, a slightly impolite question. But, you know, if you can afford a boat, you’re not hurting so bad, right? Because a boat costs a lot of money and it is a lot of upkeep.
HARNER: Listen, nobody gave me sh*t. I earned everything that I’ve got. I’m retired military, retired power plant (ph), and I am successful and retired and with boats, jet skis because I did it right. And everybody has that chance. Whether they choose or not, that’s up to them.
REEVE: I would never try to take anything away from you in that way. But what I’m asking is, groceries are probably a smaller part of your budget than say, you know, someone who is like a little worse off. I think it’s interesting that people who are a little bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy. Do you see what I’m saying?
HARNER: Because I want my money to go further. I want inflation to go down. I want interest rates go back down. I want all that. But that covers everybody in the economy, not just me, not just the poor, not just the rich. It covers everybody.
