Why would they do THAT, you say? An excellent question! BECAUSE, what Hanks said is absolutely, undeniably TRUE - and THEY. KNOW. IT.
Of course, the best humor is based on the truth, but Democrats are infantile and have no sense of humor.
In case you missed it -- and we pray to God that you did -- today was the opening of the Obama Death Star, also known as a Presidential Center, in Chicago.
As usual with anything Obama-related, it was the height of hierarchy and hypocrisy, beginning with a land acknowledgement (but not giving that land back*), and including Michelle Obama singing the praises of illegal aliens, like the one who just tried to mastermind a terror attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.
* Of course Democrats are NOT going to give the land back to any American Indians - this is typical Democrat bullsh!t that is nothing but completely insincere, performative nonsense.
Another critical element of Obama's insecurity is that he always has to populate his events with celebrities in a desperate attempt to pretend he is still cool and relevant.
One celebrity whom America likes far more than Obama is actor Tom Hanks. Not that he isn't a liberal; he certainly is. But people, even conservatives, generally still appreciate Hanks for the quality of most of his work ... and possibly because he hasn't gone completely batpoop insane like so many of his Hollywood brethren. Why, we don't think he has even ONE transgender child.
Someone from Hollyweird who doesn't have even ONE "transgender" child to parade around???
No, if anyone is going to turn on Hanks, it is the Left, who will call for his head if he doesn't toe the Leftist line obediently 100 percent of the time.
That is precisely what happened today at the Obama opening when Hanks poked some good-natured fun at MS NOW and the fact that no one watches that lunatic asylum of a network.

LOL. Eight hundred is being generous, but it was a pretty good line, especially when Hanks sighed and said they could add a zero if they really needed to.
Can we get a rimshot in here?
Oliver (@Oliver41424909) ~ Asking Tom hanks for a comment these days is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you’re gonna get.
Now, normal people would consider that a good thing, a sign that Hanks thinks for himself and doesn't just repeat scripted pablum for the clapping seals on the Left.
For a Leftist, though, this is sacrilege. And let the ginormous hissy fit commence!
Justin (@IdiotFromKY) ~ Why is he always such a douche. What does he have to be so bitter about?
Mark (@MJL77) ~ Hanks has a real mean streak that he barely disguises anymore - if you look, you will see it.
Roberto Gee (@RobertoGee4) ~ Pretty arrogant, Tom. Not a great look.
Nora (@Nora1123105) ~ Start by remembering they’re citizens, not a rating.
Mita Banerjee (@meteebee) ~ Tom’s a jerk. A has-been jerk.
Donna (@oconnellaboo) ~ Wow, what an asshole.
One of their stalwarts makes one little, truthful dig at a Pravda outlet for their Marxist Empire and they lose their sh!t and start foaming at the mouth! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
It's okay, Tom ... it WAS funny.
Zach Baker (@Zachthewriter) ~ That’s his best line since “There’s no crying in baseball.”
LeftistsofMN (@LeftistsofMN) ~ LMAO! OMG ... Savage Hanks!
It really wasn't even a political point necessarily. As we noted, Hanks is a pretty reliable Democrat voter and supporter.
But regardless of his affiliation, the writing is on the wall for cable news. No one is watching these networks anymore. It's just that, in the case of MS NOW, people are turning away faster because of how crazy they are.
What can we say? The truth hurts sometimes.
Good for Tom Hanks for being able to poke some accurate fun at his own side.
And we thank the left for reminding us, once again, that even a little lighthearted humor to them is like getting battery acid thrown in their faces.
