Outnumbered is Super Offended at MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle For Mocking Larry Kudlow’s Faith: ‘Low Blow’

The hosts of Fox News’ Outnumbered were deeply offended by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Friday, claiming she displayed “an open animosity to Christianity” by making a quip about conservative commentator Larry Kudlow’s faith.

Ruhle was responding to a televised interview in which Kudlow said “however this works out, it will be God’s will” after being chosen by President Donald Trump to serve as the chief economic advisor of the National Economic Council.

“As Larry Kudlow says, it’s God’s will,” Ruhle said while chuckling and lifting her coffee mug toward the camera. The anchor and her co-host Ali Velshi then moved on to assessing the multiple lies coming out of President Donald Trump’s White House throughout the week — but that was all the religious fodder needed to anger the folks at Fox News.

“I don’t like that,” Fox News contributor Marie Harf said. “People express their faith publicly, privately. Nothing Larry Kudlow said was offensive to me or should have been challenged. That was a low blow by MSNBC.”

“She thought she was being funny. She wasn’t. She was being offensive. It’s part of a larger trend of people in the media center left that this is something that they can mock. We know that they wouldn’t do it with any other faith tradition in a million years. They know that that would be very offensive,” commentator Buck Sexton added.

The hosts also brought up comments comedian Joy Behar made on ABC’s The View weeks earlier about Vice President Mike Pence’s faith. She apologized in a televised statement on Tuesday.
