Fox and Friends co-host Bran Kilmeade was flabbergasted that the word "woke" is still thought of as a compliment.

A new USAToday/Ipsos poll caused agita for right-wingers when all their efforts to co-opt and bastardize the term "woke' into a negative has failed. Even with the entire Republican conference in Congress joining in and throwing the term around to describe anything they hate.

They can't even tell you what they mean.

"USA Today did a poll, and I was shocked by this," Kilmeade said. They asked people what they thought of "woke," the term woke. Believe it or not, 56% have a positive view of the word woke. 39% says this is an insult."

"I hate it," he said.

Kayleigh McEnany was asked how she felt about the poll and she created a new conspiracy theory as to why the term woke was viewed positively.

She says she gets calls all the time in Florida to be polled.

"I hang up on them," she said. "I've got a believe that normal people don't like woke, just, click, click, click every time that pollster calls."

Kayleigh's beliefs are meaningless when it comes to polling. She just projects her MAGA views onto every subject. How would a person know what the polling company was going to ask them if the hang up, Ms Click Click?

As you might expect, young people use the term more effectively.

Americans ages 18-34 (43%) are more likely than those ages 50-64 (23%) or 65+ (19%) to view “woke” as a compliment.

Charlie Kirk is again a failure when it comes to wrangling the youth vote for Trump and Republicans.
