The staff at this site is a bit sorry that we’re not all that sorry for the staff at Fox.

Of course, no one approves of lighting a Christmas tree on fire and who knows what warped mind did it, that is not the point. The point is, that – just like Trump, they are now playing the ultimate victim card, saying that they don’t feel “safe.”

Well, join the club because those of us on the left don’t feel particularly safe around a group of people who rioted around the Capitol, or people who march around like this:

So, again, join the club.

This morning the folks at Fox and Friends were rightly upset that their Christmas tree was lit on fire, and – yes, we get that. Imagine how we feel about our Capitol. They didn’t have time for that. From Mediaite:

“This city has gone south when it comes to safety. We don’t feel safe when we come to work in the morning. We don’t feel safe when we go home at night,” he said.

“Through the years, people… hundreds of thousands of tourists have come to New York City to celebrate the Christmas season, and they walk up and down Fifth Avenue and our street, Sixth Avenue, they look at the lights and today there are no lights because somebody burn down our Christmas tree,” he said.

New York City has 15 million people in the surrounding areas. One guy burnt their tree. Tens of thousands of people attacked out Capitol, and they want to talk to us about feeling fear?

No, it is not good at all. We don’t like that your tree was burnt, but as for safety? Join the club, whiners.
