Fox Business host makes bizarre comparison between Jim Carrey, heroin, and socialism

On Thursday on the Fox Business Network, Lisa Kennedy Montgomery - better known to '90s kids as MTV VJ Kennedy - went on a monologue about the dangers of socialism. “What should have been a laughably flat fad has turned into a full-fledged movement,” she said of the rise of socialism. Coming from Kennedy, an outspoken libertarian who has said she voted for Gary Johnson for president, that’s not an unusual stance. But she then pivoted to a less orthodox perspective, roping in Jim Carrey and Sean Penn for good measure. “Everyone wants to be liked,” she began. “And that explains the turn-on-a-dime hypocrisy from people like Jim Carrey and Sean Penn.” And finally, the kicker: “Being cool is like heroin for some of those people. Once you get high, you spend the rest of your life chasing that fleeting feeling. And what’s cooler than pretending you hate money? And giving away someone else's stuff under the guise of fairness?”
