‘This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so… normal.’
A former CNN correspondent recounted a horrifying experience where she had dinner with friends and their neighbors — who turned out to be fans of former President Donald Trump.
Ex-fake news reporter Michelle Kosinski said she’s “haunted” by the story she shared on X this past Sunday, where she recalled dining with old friends at an upscale Florida neighborhood who’d invited “well-educated, successful” neighbors, only to gradually learn they were Trump supporters.
“A few weeks ago, I had dinner with a few couples, friends of friends, all American,” she wrote. “All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour.”

They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour.
But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures….— Michelle Kosinski (@MichLKosinski) May 5, 2024
Kosinski noted she first sensed something was amiss when some Ivy League alums at the dinner expressed reservations about sending their own children to Ivy League universities.
“[T]hey were adamantly NOT letting them apply to any ivies. And were weird about explaining why. Though the kids were double legacies. Okayyy… moving on…” Kosinski wrote on X.
She also thought it was weird some dinner guests were using air quotes when discussing “climate change.”
“Again, these are otherwise smart people. Not scientists, clearly. But educated,” Kosinski wrote, adding, “And the dude took seething umbrage when my friend mentioned the damage Trump had done and vowed to continue to do.”
The next crew suddenly busted out with air quotes when mentioning climate change. Again, these are otherwise smart people. Not scientists, clearly. But educated.

Kosinski claimed Trump-supporting dinner guests changed subjects when they received pushback from other guests, claiming they backed down because “They realized they would be eviscerated on all idiotic points, especially on the economy” — however, most Americans would agree the economy was doing better under Trump.
“As it went on, my friends and I realized we were surrounded by otherwise carefully closeted MAGAts,” Kosinski continued, adding, “It’s funny how the extremist or just wrong beliefs can’t help but leak out, even when you least expect them, and from people you least expect. They are out there.”

They are out there.— Michelle Kosinski (@MichLKosinski) May 5, 2024
The ex-CNN correspondent went on to say “this dinner continues to haunt me.”
“They all seemed so… normal,” she wrote, adding her friends were previously unaware of their neighbors’ politics.
Kosinski went on to claim the closeted Trump supporters were wrong to keep their political beliefs close to the vest, and that they should be open to debate.
If people don’t ever talk about these things as friends and neighbors, and only live in their own warped information silos, how will they ever learn what is true or false?
How will the truth ever make them consider alternatives?
The allure of bullshit is co-opting decent minds.— Michelle Kosinski (@MichLKosinski) May 5, 2024
However, X users informed Kosinski she was in the wrong for wanting people to out themselves politically, so deranged liberals can seize on them with their false worldviews.
Maybe you are deficient and incapable of mentally modeling people different than you as anything but a caricature?

Your language “othering” those with different opinions reveals you as the true monster that you pathologically pretend to “resist”.
You are the type of person who would cheer at the unvaccinated being carted off to camps, with a self-righteous, deranged sneer.
We see you now ?

This whole thread is so embarrassing…for YOU.
Get out of your liberal la la land, take off the mask and come up for air.
Trump Derangement Syndrome. Get help.

“This dinner continues to haunt me”
You desperately need to engage with people outside your bubble if divergent views “haunt” you.

Responding to one critical X user, Kosinski noted without a hint of irony that patriotic Americans should not want to “vote for career fraudsters who are willing to lie tens of thousands of times, sexually abuse women, and steal” — characterizations she didn’t realize perfectly describe Joe Biden.
How about, don’t vote for career fraudsters who are willing to lie tens of thousands of times, sexually abuse women, and steal? Basic enough?

Incidentally, Kosinski is the same fake news correspondent who was ridiculed online after reporting for NBC’s Today Show from a row boat during floods in New Jersey, where two men walked into frame showing waters were only ankle-deep and ruining her attempt at making the floods seem more deadly.
