Maria Bartiromo Blows A Fuse When Alan Dershowitz Says Joe Biden Is ‘Doing Great Things’

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo had an on-air meltdown Sunday when attorney Alan Dershowitz dared to praise the “great things” being done by President Joe Biden.

During an interview, Dershowitz told the Fox host:

“He’s done great things in Ukraine. I think he has done good things on domestic policy, gotten some very good things passed.

“He is the candidate who restores normality and if Trump is going to run, I think that even a low-ranking candidate with essentially moderate views, he won’t win. But Trump will lose. So nobody is going to win this next election if it’s Trump vs. Biden. It will be who has the most negatives and who loses the election.”

That was all it took to send Bartiromo into a tizzy:

“You said Joe Biden was moderate! You said he has moderate policy. You said he has passed some good things. You said he did a good job in Ukraine. I don’t know what you’re talking about! This is not a moderate president. OK?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about in terms of Joe Biden being moderate, Alan.”

Dershowitz countered:

“Compared to who? I mean, compared to President Trump, who I did not vote for. I defended him against an unconstitutional impeachment but I didn’t vote for him. But compared to President Trump, the current president, Biden, is a moderate. So is his attorney general, a moderate.”

Bartiromo began shouting:

“No, he’s not a moderate! He’s not a moderate! It’s just not true! And I know that’s the B.S. line that Democrats have been trying to sell us since day one during the campaign. But his actions and his policies are indicative that he’s not a moderate!

“Not only is he not a moderate but his son has been selling influence. Hunter Biden and the investigation is continuing there.”

Unlike Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Hunter Biden does not and has never held a position in government or the White House since his father took office.

Additionally, Joe Biden has always been and still is a moderate. Bartiromo knows that, but she prefers to lie.

Karine Jean-Pierre Sets Peter Doocy Straight When He Whines Biden Is ‘Bragging’ On Falling Gas Prices

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy absolutely hates when good news arrives for President Joe Biden and the administration, as proved today when he whined that the president had been “bragging” on falling gas prices earlier in the day.

Specifically, the president noted:

“You know, we’ve seen some progress. Gas prices are coming down. They’re down almost a dollar a gallon where—from where they were just a month ago.”

That led Doocy to ask White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:

“Why is the president bragging today about gas prices?”

The press secretary responded:

“Because it’s gone down.”

Doocy:

“It’s still $1.72 higher than when he took office.”

Jean-Pierre:

“It is come down in a way that we haven’t seen–its trajectory coming down in over a decade.”

The Fox reporter continued to press:

“So, over $4 a gallon, is that good?”

Jean-Pierre:

“You want to talk to a nurse or a teacher or a firefighter if having that little bit of breathing room doesn’t matter to them?”

Still trying to provoke Jean-Pierre, Doocy asked:

“Are nurses and teachers and firefighters saying, ‘Gas prices are only $4.11?'”

That’s when Jean-Pierre shut down Doocy with facts:

“I’m saying that even that little bit of breathing room matters to families, especially during the summer when people are traveling, when people are trying to do what they can for their families.”

She then added:

“To say that the changes, the drop that we have seen at the pump per gallon does not matter, I think that is wrong. I think that is not true and I think that does give a little bit of space and breathing room for families and is important.”

WATCH John Kirby Swat Down A Fox Host For Saying Al Qaeda ‘Feels Pretty Good’ After Drone Strike

National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby gave Fox News host Brian Kilmeade a lesson in foreign policy and how to fight terrorism during an interview on the network Tuesday.

Kilmeade began the interview by trying to downplay the killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri by a drone strike in Afghanistan:

“I do think that one would believe if the leader of the Taliban — excuse me — the leader of Al Qaeda is not in a cave or hiding out in the mountains of Pakistan. That he’s on the balcony in the capitol, that Al Qaeda feels pretty good about their presence in that country and there’s more than just one guy.”

“But that’s not good news for us.”

Kirby, a retired Navy rear admiral, responded:

“I’d actually throw that back a little, Brian. I don’t think they’re feeling too good about being in Afghanistan right now.”

Kilmeade:

“Really? If they were worried about it, they would be hiding in Pakistan where we couldn’t even find them.”

And that’s when Kirby took Kilmeade to school and gave him a lesson in how to fight terrorism abroad:

“I mean, I don’t think Al Qaeda can look at what happened over the last 48 hours and feel like Afghanistan is going to be much of a safe haven for them. We have proven that over-the-horizon counterterrorism capability works.”

Al Qaeda is on the run and trying to find a new leader. Their power and reach are greatly reduced, and we are all safer as a result.

If Trump had killed Zawahiri, Fox would be ready to hold a ticker tape parade. But because Joe Biden pulled it off (much the same way former President Barack Obama sent Osama bin Laden to a watery grave), Brian Kilmeade is trying to make sure the current president doesn’t get any credit. It’s the same old shit from Fox.

Tucker Carlson Attacked Jon Stewart And Quickly Regretted It When Stewart Clapped Back

 

Fox News host Tucker Carlson thought he’d attack former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart over Stewart’s advocacy on behalf of veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.

HuffPost notes that Carlson made his hateful remarks on his show:

Carlson fired off a series of highly personal and deeply weird insults at Stewart for his advocacy of healthcare for U.S. veterans. Stewart, Carlson said, looks “like a guy who lives in the men’s room at your public library, eating imaginary insects out of the air” and “a homeless mental patient.”

“He’s shrieking and disheveled and very short,” Carlson said. “Really short. Too short to date. Was he always that short?”

But someone should have warned Carlson that it’s a bad idea to attack a comedian, especially one as beloved as Jon Stewart, and certainly not when he’s advocating on behalf of veterans.

Stewart quickly clapped back at Carlson.

Others on Twitter then joined the debate and also took turns slamming Carlson.

Memo to Tucker Carlson: You should probably stick to polishing Donald Trump’s butt. At least you’re good at that.

WATCH Karine Jean-Pierre Swat Down Fox’s Peter Doocy For Asking The Same Question SIX TIMES

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre proved Friday during the daily press briefing that she will only take so much crap before she completely shuts down dolts like Peter Doocy of Fox News when they continue to ask the same question after they’ve already gotten an official response.

When Doocy was called on today, his question was, “Why is the Biden administration building a border wall in Arizona?”

Jean-Pierre responded:

“We are not, we’re not finishing the wall. We are cleaning up the mess the prior administration left behind in their failed attempt to build a wall. And I just want to be very, very clear here: On day one we returned the money, the $8 billion the prior administration took from our military. We gave that back to the military, for military families, for schools for bases. That’s what that money was being used. That’s what it was taken away from. And so again, what we’re doing is cleaning up the mess that the prior administration has done.”

Asked and answered, and yet Doocy pressed:

“But President Biden when he was a candidate said, ‘there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.’ So what changed?”

For the second time, Jean-Pierre replied:

“We are not finishing the wall.”

And yet, Doocy came back with the very same question, and he added a fact-free conspiracy theory:

“If walls work in that part of Arizona, is this, is the administration trying to get migrants to cross somewhere else, like in Texas? What, what is the point?”

Clearly getting exasperated (and who wouldn’t?), Jean-Pierre told Doocy:

“We are not finishing a wall. We are cleaning up the mess that the prior administration made. We are trying to save lives. This is what, this is what the prior administration left behind that we are now cleaning up.”

Doocy refused to accept the answer and plodded ahead:

“By finishing the wall is this –”

“We are not finishing the wall,” Jean-Pierre told him, smirking as she did so.

“By filling in – finishing –” Doocy began for the umpteenth time.

“We are not finishing,” Jean-Pierre told him.

That led Doocy to try and add racism to the mix:

“By filling in, is this, is this racist? Because in 2019, when the former guy was proposing a wall, you said that it was his ‘racist’ wall. So how is this any different? I’m just having a hard time understanding how this is any different.”

Jean-Pierre:

“I’m not even sure how you get to your first question, to this question that you just asked me. I will say this –”

“A border wall –” Doocy blurted.

And that’s when Jean-Pierre dropped the hammer on the Fox correspondent:

“I’m answering your question. A border wall is ineffective use of taxpayer dollars. So it’s ineffective of taxpayer dollars – dollars that actually went to the military that the last administration, the prior president took from the military, which took away from schools, which took away from military bases. That’s what that money that he pulled away from, to build this wall that he wanted, that is ineffective, by the way, which I just said. Just recently, CBP reported that new bollard fencing along the southwest border was breached 3272 times between fiscal year of 2019 and 2021, requiring $2.6 billion in repairs. It’s ineffective. We are not finishing the wall, we are cleaning up the mess that the last administration made. Okay?”

Karine Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, taught her well. And it’s always fun to see Peter Doocy get put in his place.
