Did Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle “tell young women not to vote” on The Five?
Not really.
She did express some frustration about how young women tend to vote and said, “They don’t get it.” Her opinion seems to be based on her former career as a prosecutor and experience with young women on juries. She said she “excused them” which is clearly an allusion to the jury selection process.
Even logical Mister Spock fell for the Huffpo regurgitation of a Media Matters outrage manufacturing exercise. How many of these faux-ragers do you think actually saw the show…or even read beyond the headline?
Women who think like #KimberlyGuilfoyle are aiding in the WAR ON WOMEN. There is power in voting. Don't be fooled! VOTE!!!

@kimguilfoyle How dare you discourage young women from voting. My vote matters, whether it agrees with yours or not. http://t.co/1DWr1ugKSm

According to Fox News, young women shouldn't vote, should spend time on Tinder and http://t.co/bvo4xLhewT instead. http://t.co/S2mfZbCQIC

One commentator’s flippantly expressed opinion distorted through a Media Matters lens has now become official Fox News policy apparently.

The best way to prove Guilfoyle’s opinion wrong? Spite voting, apparently.
You can watch the remarks that sent the lefties running for the smelling salts and decide for yourself if it’s worth all the pearl clutching.
At least a couple of tweeters backed Kimberly up though.
I completely support @kimguilfoyle 's remarks. Sorry, age/experience DOES matter in whether you're an informed voter. http://t.co/ryTrN3a4Xe

@AJDelgado13 @kimguilfoyle Does favoriting this tweet make me a documented sexist now?

@AJDelgado13 @kimguilfoyle So should we raise the voting age? And who is the judge of whether you have enough "experience"?
— Dave Hartman (@HartmanDave) October 22, 2014
@HartmanDave By your arg, if age/experience DOESN'T matter, why not let a 13 yr old vote then? @kimguilfoyle

The left would probably love that idea.
