Not gonna lie, I would pay GOOD MONEY to watch Sally Kohn move from ultra-leftist New York to rural conservative West Virginia. It’d be like City Slickers, but even more hilarious.
Some background: Last night Senator Jeff Sessions was confirmed at Attorney General by the Senate. Senator Joe Manchin was the one and only Democrat to vote for the confirmation. Predictably, the left lost their ever-loving minds about it –
.@Sen_JoeManchin is the one Democrat to vote yes on #Sessions so far. You know what this means. We will vote NO on Manchin.

Joe Manchin (Democrat) voted to confirm Jeff Sessions and this is what his Wikipedia page looks like now. Y’all are quick pic.twitter.com/gIFlhnHKaH

Joe Manchin you just signed your resignation letter by your vote for Sessions today. DT and Cabinet are all card carrying racist.

And that’s when poor, sweet, deluded Sally Kohn proclaimed that she was going to move to West Virginia and work to unseat Manchin from his position in the Senate –
Extremely tempted throw my family in the car, move to West Virginia and spend the next 23 months doing everything possible to unseat Manchin

Never mind that Manchin is fairly conservative (well, for a Democrat) and West Virginia isn’t exactly lower Manhattan. And Sally Kohn is certainly no Eva Gabor –

Won’t lie – watching a leftist elite New York snob like Sally Kohn try to relate to the average West Virginian would be highly entertaining. There has to be a reality TV show in there somewhere (maybe that could be CNN’s next big ratings-grabbing gimmick!)
The response from NRO’s Charles CW Cooke were arguably the best ones that anyone could have come up (and probably the ones we were all thinking as he tweeted them) –
@sallykohn You should.

@sallykohn When do you leave? I ask because you live in New York. And New Yorkers say things like this a lot but never actually do them.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 9, 2017
@sallykohn I’d put the chances of you moving to West Virginia at about 0%. I’d be surprised if you moved to Staten Island, frankly.

@sallykohn Do you have a map out now?
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 9, 2017
Egg her on some more, Charles. See if she’ll actually follow through with her threat/promise.
(Apologies to the good people of West Virginia. You really don’t deserve a hosehag like Sally Kohn living in your fair state.)
