A word's toxicity comes from how much hatred was behind the insult.

Good point. If you call a person a c*** across the pond it's considered a good nature insult and a find chuckle has had by all.

Now on the other hand if you refer to someone's fanny thete, there's going to be exorcist twisting of heads and projectile vomiting taking place.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Would he have been fired if he said that about a Republican?

If he had dropped that on Tudes, absolutely and the pearl clutching would have caused some to pass out due to strangulation.

Fox News would jump to hire him.

I don't know about that.

Is Donna Brazile still with Fox? Charlie may accidentally insult her the same way :lol

He already worked for Fox News, it didn't work out, so they parted ways. His highlight for the network was his Ferguson, MO coverage. Charlie has a lot of strengths but his major weaknesses is that he is shit live, he needs a ton of takes to nail his shtick.

One of his problems is that he needs a shtick in the first place.
