Conservative CNN Panel Laughs at Viewer Comment: ‘Capitalism Is Corrupt, That’s Why Socialism Is Rising’

EXCERPT:

PHILLIP: "Now some viewer feedback from CNN.com/Abby. Here‘s our first comment. 'Capitalism is corrupt. That‘s why socialism is rising in politics.'"
SETMAYER: "Under this administration, I get it."
MOYNIHAN: "Popular viewpoint these days in the Democratic Party.
PHILLIP: "Kmele, you‘re laughing, but, I mean, isn‘t it a legit issue that when people see capitalism being weaponized to enrich politicians and oligarchs, that they might get skeptical of it?"
FOSTER: "I can understand that. If they would actually read a couple of books, they might appreciate the extraordinary body count that socialism has managed to rack up, which is the reason why people imagine Democratic socialism makes it fundamentally different."
PHILLIP: "But let‘s — let‘s not say — we don‘t have to say that socialism is better than capitalism. But I‘m just saying, isn‘t it — "
FOSTER: "Because it's not."
