NPR CEO Katherine Maher and her fellow activist Democrats just had their taxpayer funding pulled. Maher immediately started doing what Democrats do best - fearmongering for donations. She released a ‘panhandling’ video on Friday, begging for money so rural folk will be up-to-date on the latest trends in LGBTQIA+ and sheltering illegal aliens from ICE.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher says communities across America will now suffer after Congress voted to strip over $1 billion from NPR and PBS.
Maher begged people to step in and donate as she tried convincing them that they would suffer without NPR.
So absurd you'd think this was a parody.
Here’s Maher’s video. (WATCH)

‘Won’t somebody please think of the rural folks!’
Commenters say Maher and her NPR drones have not only lost their funding, but their messaging is broken as well.
They’re losing control of the narrative and becoming desperate

Democrats: "Underprivileged communities across America will now suffer because of this."
Because “underprivileged communities” are well known for being big fans of NPR and PBS.

More and more people are paying attention to this and waking up to their lies.

They only have themselves to blame.
Im surprised @krmaher didn't say people are going to die

A Democrat staple
‘Underprivileged communities’ love NPR. It’s not uncommon to drive through inner city Memphis and see gangbangers discussing something they just heard on NPR’s ‘All Things Considered.’
Posters say it’s hard to take Maher’s plea for cash seriously.
trying really hard not to laugh at work rn

I can't believe they actually ran with this lol.

The audacity. Wow. All they do is turn every single anything into an opportunity to ask for money. Utter shamelessness.

The amount of people who will actually suffer: zero.

The only suffering happening is to those who endured Maher’s ‘gimme money’ video.
