Fox News ridiculed after 'bonkers' guest claims Taylor Swift is a covert asset

Raw Story  

Former FBI special agent Stuart Kaplan suggested on Fox News Tuesday evening that because pop star Taylor Swift posted a link to register voters, she may be some sort of covert asset. "In modern times, with these people having such influence and such, you know, immeasurable amount of followers, she can potentially singlehandedly swing voters because of just the amount of followers that she potentially can influence," said Kaplan in discussion with Jesse Watters. "Yeah, because when she posted the link to the Vote.org, like hundreds of thousands of young Taylor Swift fans all of a sudden registered to vote," said Watters. Former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos also weighed in: "Fox says Taylor Swift is a covert asset, and i'm now going to sleep soundly," he wrote.
