The first one is intriguing, as she is a registered Republican who has turned against Fox News, I laughed at what she said about them. She voted for Trump and what she says about him now is interesting as well. Note she says she can't afford to read the WSJ like she'd like to and uses CBS but thinks it is slanted:
Karol Nordstrom, 73, Colorado: “The tenor of our nation is so hateful and ugly”
Nordstrom is a registered Republican who lives in rural Fremont County, to the southwest of Colorado Springs. Trump won the county by 30 points in 2016. Nordstrom voted for him.
Besides “this health care mess” and border security, Nordstrom worries Congress has broken and become unable to fulfill its most routine duties.
But more than anything, she sounds anxious about the divisiveness in the country — and, even as a Republican, she blames Trump and conservative media for that division as much as she blames Democrats.
Why do you feel undecided?
The tenor of our nation is so hateful and ugly, and people are not nice anymore. They’re very open about spreading untruths about each other. It’s everywhere. You listen to the news, the ads come on, and it’s terrible. How do you find somebody who’s okay to vote for? The thing it’s created in me is a real sense of distrust.
How do you feel about President Trump?
He just doesn’t think. I think he wants to be a good person. I don’t know that he’s doing any good for our country. I voted for him. I thought that would be something good. I don’t even know that it’s him. We’ve got such huge problems.
But I don’t think he’s helpful. He’s not a unifier. I wish he was.
Where do you get your news?
I like the Wall Street Journal, but I can’t afford it. I listen to CBS, but they don’t like the president and a lot of their stuff is skewed. But they do give some information.
Fox News, I used to like them. But they’re part of tearing down our country, I think. They can get you all worked up about nothing, and it has nothing to do with anything.
