Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump’s Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren’t any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

    Automatic temperature controls engineer here:

    This is exactly what you want to do in a heat wave. It’s called load shedding.

    78°F in 100°F weather is going to feel perfectly cool. You’ll prevent your equipment from breaking down faster and see a notable difference in your electric bill.

    Fox morons - this is definitely a Gandalf-I’m-trying-to-help-you moment.
