Katie Couric has GOP loyalists furious after she claimed support for Donald Trump stems from 'anti-intellectualism' and the Make America Great Again movement is full of 'jealous, bitter, resentful' people.
Couric, 67, made the remarks on the latest episode of the Club Random podcast, where she talked about former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement with host Bill Maher.
'The socio-economic disparities...and class resentment...and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment [people] — which are Trump voters,' she said.
'I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society — I don't know if you've ever been jealous of someone else or resentful — it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling,' she added.
The comments have left Trump supporters furious, as many took to social media to blast the former Today Show anchor and her comments as 'disgusting' and 'out of touch'.

One user wrote: 'This is so disgusting and shows how out of touch she is. Make no mistake, this is how the media views Trump supporters.'
'I've never been a jealous person- and I find many of Trump supporters highly educated in vast arenas,' another person said.
'I think Couric is a snob and a low IQ commie. She's lived inside her glass bubble so long she's completely out of touch with reality,' they continued.
Another comment reads: 'Katie Couric says… MAGA is full of jealous, bitter, resentful people… …because we are poor, uneducated, anti-establishment and jealous of people like her.
'The 'elite' need to tell lower- and middle-class people how to live, what to think, and how to vote.'
A person agreed, saying: 'This is what you call projection- blaming the other side for feeling a certain way when it's actually you who feels that way.'
Couric and Maher had a contentious discussion about the former president and the MAGA movement during the episode aired on Sunday.
'People loved him and what he was saying,' Maher said as he insisted that media pundits and commentators should take time to understand Trump voters.
'So, what is it?' Couric asked.

'Not to defend Trump, but to defend the people who still vote for him. Because what they see on the other side, to them, is even more dangerous. Because it's closer to home.'
'"My kid is coming home from school, and he thinks he's a racist? He's five, what have you been telling him? My son thinks maybe he's not a boy,"' Maher said, referring to conservatives' attack on gender-affirming care for transgender and school programming on race.
'And maybe that's true, that happens. Those kinds of things are what they say. 'That's why I'm voting for Trump,' Maher said.
The 68-year-old host said that Trump 'killed it' during the CNN town hall last year, noting the audience's positive response to his remarks.
'He's not a stand-up comedian!' Courier replied. ''He's killing it.' He's not a stand-up comedian.'
'Popularity. Doesn't matter. People loved him and what he was saying. And then you cut to a panel of six know-it-alls in Washington who do nothing but talk about the negative,' Maher said.
'I'm all-in on the negative. No one's been harder on Trump than me. But I get it, and I'm bored with it. And there's a different way to do this, I think,' he said.
