      Bartiromo started college at C. W. Post before transferring to New York University.[10] During her college years, she worked at the same betting parlor where her mother worked.[16] She graduated from NYU’s Washington Square Campus in 1989[17] with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and economics.[1]

      So she’s an Italian American in Brooklyn who worked her way through college in the same “betting parkor” her mom worked at, which from further reading sounds like an OTB (off-track betting, they’re all over NYC and LI). I’m betting she’s been around a bunch of drunk gambling addicts which isn’t very mentally healthy, so her moral compass is probably a bit broken, and Trump acting like a mafioso all the time probably deeply appeals to her, because those are the type of people she’s grown up around, because NYC is full of Italian Americans acting like they’ve got mob connections, especially when they don’t.
