Fox News Panel Roasts Liberal ‘Love Is Blind’ Bride for Leaving Groom at Altar: ‘Never Been More Unimpressed’
The panelists on Monday’s edition of Outnumbered roasted Sara Carton, a participant in the latest season of Love Is Blind, for leaving her fiancé Ben Mezzenga at the altar over politics.
Right before the couple was set to say “I do” during the season finale of the reality dating show, Carton told Mezzenga, “I love you so much, but I’ve always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength. And so today, I can’t [marry you].”
“My heart is there. But when we talked about a lot of the values that I hold so close to my heart, making this decision, my mind is telling me I can’t,” she added.
She further explained her decision to her family after the aborted ceremony:
I remember I asked him about Black Lives Matter, and I’m no expert. But when I asked him about it, he’s like, “I guess I never really thought too much about it.” That affected me! … How could it not? How did it not make you think about something?
I asked him too what his Church’s views are, and he said he didn’t know. And so then I watched a sermon online… about sexual identity. And it was traditional. And I told that to Ben… and he doesn’t really have much to say about it. I want someone to think about that stuff
The first panelist to weigh in, Jeremy Hunt, was the only one to express some sympathy for Carton’s decision.
“I will say, I think, I mean, my wife and I talk about this all the time. If you’re about to marry someone, make sure it’s someone who has the same worldview as you, same religious beliefs. That was very important for me,” said Hunt. “My wife, she needed to be a Bible-believing Christian conservative, someone who has the same worldview. It’s hard to raise kids without having the same kind of worldview. And so I actually agree with her to some degree about making sure they’re on the same page if they’re going to have long-term success in marriage.”
“So, I am with you. Like, look, I’ve heard people on the MAGA side be like, ‘I can’t marry someone who’s not married.’ So I’ve heard that on the other side,” replied Kayleigh McEnany. “But here’s the difference, Emily [Compagno], we’ve gone through so many polls on this show that, like the right and Republicans are willing to have lunch with the left, are willing to room with the left, are willing to be friends. But the left doesn’t have that same sort of tolerance.”
“Hundred percent, it only goes both ways. I’ve never been more unimpressed with an individual, first of all, and I don’t know, because all of the mixed messages and the inappropriate affect, the laughing while you’re doing it. ‘I love you so much’ after five seconds, I don’t get it,” agreed Compagno. “But I would say it’s not over a difference of BLM views. It’s that he refused to have one that was in lockstep with her. And that’s the hallmark of that side.”
Carley Shimkus piled on.
“Clearly, this woman — anybody who goes on a reality show is looking for fame, and that is fine,” she argued. “But it feels like if you’re trying to look for fame in this way with being political like this, that you’re about like four and a half years too late.”
