WATCH Maria Bartiromo Absurdly Suggest Biden’s Handling Of Classified Docs Might Be ‘Treason’

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested Sunday that President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents might constitute treason even though she has never once mentioned such a thing in connection with the thousands of documents disgraced former president Donald Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago when he left office.

Speaking with Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Bartiromo asked what the congressman thought of the Biden situation. He replied:

“The White House isn’t being truthful with the American people. We need to know now who had access to those documents because our national security could be at risk.”

Bartiromo then inquired:

“Is this treason?”

Comer refused to go that far, noting:

“It’s — it’s very concerning. We’re not going to let up. I think that we’ve got plenty of information to move forward.”

In August of last year, Bartiromo gladly shared a video of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) saying that the FBI was engaging in a “double standard” by daring to serve a search warrant at Trump’s Palm Beach golf resort.

If Bartiromo wants to know what is and isn’t treason, here’s a helpful primer she can reference anytime she has questions:

  • Telling your supporters to attack the Capitol is inciting an insurrection.
  • Allowing the Russian foreign minister and ambassador to know the details of highly classified information is treason.
  • Illegally removing classified documents from the White House and then refusing to return them when instructed to do so is a violation of the Espionage Act.

Oh, and one other thing for Ms. Bartiromo: Those who defend actual traitors are in many ways just as guilty as the traitor himself.

Maybe it’s time to open an investigation of Maria and see where her true loyalties lie.

Fox News Host Suggests Biden Cleared His Throat To ‘Pressure’ A Border Official

Fox News host Harris Faulkner is trying to get a new conspiracy theory going at the network, suggesting that President Joe Biden pressured a border official by clearing his throat when he asked the official a question.

The president is visiting El Paso today, and Faulkner showed a video of him asking an official at a Salvation Army migrant center:

“How many folks do you have coming through? It varies week to week, day to day, but how many people do you have coming through?” 

The official replied:

“The number is different. We have been serving up to 1,000 for one day.”

Biden then inquired:

“I’m trying to get a sense of the flow. The average.”

To that, the official responded:

“The average, I would say, three to four hundred.”

Questions asked and questions answered, right? Not according to Faulkner who exclaimed:

 “The president pressured him! The man told him 1,000 people a day and then the president did a re-ask and cleared his throat and, I don’t know, is that the kind of pressure it takes to get somebody to then change their number?”

Does the official appear to be intimidated by the question? And how do we know it was Biden who cleared his throat? Even if he did, that doesn’t mean he did so as a way of warning anyone that he wanted a different response.

As usual, Fox is trying to stir the shit. For two years they’ve whined that the president won’t visit the border. But when he visits, they’re still not happy.

Fox needs to change their name to Faux News. It’d be the only honest thing they’ve ever done.

Lauren Boebert Gets Called Out For Her Bullsh*t By…Sean Hannity?!

Though it may be hard to believe, Fox News host Sean Hannity actually did a few minutes of journalism on his show Wednesday evening as he interviewed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to discuss the ongoing impasse between right-wing House GOP hardliners and those who support House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to be the next Speaker of the House.

Hannity began the interview by reading a quote from Boebert in which she had called on former president Donald Trump to urge McCarthy to withdraw his candidacy for the Speaker’s chair. He then inquired:

“Congresswoman, I’m frustrated by you not answering a direct question. You said to President Trump, you said earlier today that President Trump needs to tell Kevin McCarthy, you don’t have the votes–

“Let me turn the tables, congresswoman. Kevin McCarthy has 202–3 votes. Your side has 20. So, if I’m gonna use your words, and your methodology, and your math, isn’t it time for you to pack it in and your side to pack it in considering he has over 200 and you have 20?”

Boebert responded, “Sean, I understand the frustration, I promise you, But he–”

The host countered, “I’m not frustrated. You didn’t answer my question.”

A few seconds later, as Boebert continued to prevaricate, a frustrated Hannity asked again about her abandoning her effort to block McCarthy, to which she replied:

“Well, Sean, he needs 218 and he does not have 218.”

Hannity quickly reminded the Colorado Republican:

“Neither do you!”

When you’ve lost Sean Hannity, it might be time to realize that you are indeed in a cult.

WATCH Laura Ingraham Get Trolled To Her Face By A Guest On Her Show 

Fox News host Laura Ingraham got reminded of the network’s repeated fearmongering and sexual harassment scandals during an interview with author Steve Almond on Wednesday evening.

Almond, who wrote Against Football: One Fan’s Reluctant Manifesto had been invited to discuss the issue of safety in sports after the tragic collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin on Monday evening during a game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.

But, as Mediaite reports, Almond came loaded with facts and wasn’t shy about using them.

“What do you want?” Ingraham asked the author. “I’ve seen stampedes at soccer games, major fights at hockey games. I’ve seen fights at cricket competitions. What do you want? I’m not getting it.”

Almond said the league needs a financial “incentive” to make the game safer. He proposed weight limits for players so they “aren’t bulking themselves up on unnatural weights.” He then suggested monitors on helmets look for hard hits that might otherwise go unnoticed.

He also argued the NFL has a “PR problem” he said was not unlike that of Ingraham’s network.

“It’s like at Fox News when you have hosts who are allegedly sexually harassing people,” he said. “Fox News throws money at that to make that PR problem go away.”

Clearly taken aback by Almond’s remarks, Ingraham tried to recover:

“That’s a cute little move. I’m trying to get you to answer a question.”

Almond was ready for that, too:

“I’m focused on the fans and what I believe is not that any government ban is going to make football safer, and not some mythic woke mob that you mentioned to try to scare your viewers.”

Ingraham:

Football is “not about politics. You’re making it about politics.”

The author continued to slam Fox:

“That’s your entire economic model. That’s to scare your viewers. That’s your whole gig.”

Almond then reminded Ingraham of her own bad actions:

“A couple of years when you taunted a survivor of the Parkland mass shooting, you apologized only because advertisers withdrew from your show.”

At that point, Ingraham abruptly ended the discussion by remarking:

“Nice try, buddy,. That’s what they always do.”

Here’s the video. Enjoy!

Hannity On Right-Wing Sh*t List After Finally Admitting The 2020 Election Wasn’t Stolen

Forced to admit under oath that he didn’t “for one second” believe the lies Donald Trump and his surrogates spouted in the aftermath of the 2020 election, Fox News host Sean Hannity now finds himself in an unfamiliar position: #1 on the right-wing shit list, branded as a traitor to the MAGA movement.

The Daily Beast reports that a host of MAGA conspiracy theorists — MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, attorney Lin Wood, former Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon, and even the failed ex-president himself have soured on Hannity, who was once believed to be in daily contact with Trump while he was still in the White House.

“Sean Hannity is disgusting,” Lindell told The Daily Beast. “He’s a terrible journalist that does not do his job or his diligence” when it comes to “election crime.”

“He doesn’t seem to have any concern over any election problems in the country, and it’s disgusting,” he added.

Asked if he’s expressed such frustration to Hannity, Lindell said he’d “of course” told him, but the right-wing pillow superstar claimed the Fox News host “never got back to me.”

Bannon has even suggested that Hannity needs to face “accountability” for giving “TERRIBLE advice” to Trump. Exactly what accountability Bannon has in mind is unclear, and since he’s a convicted felon, he might want to dial back his public comments or face new charges from the Justice Department.

And then there’s the conservative media world, members of which say they’re done with Hannity.

Hannity’s also been called a “fraud” by conservative commentators. Far-right radio host Stew Peters has labeled the Fox News host a “clown” following his voter fraud boomerang. “He regularly washes and dries Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer’s jock straps,” Peters told The Daily Beast.

Conservative media has also gone after Hannity over his election fraud comments, suggesting Hannity is part of a “fake patriot grift.”

Sources close to Trump admit that the Donald is also disappointed with Hannity.

Still, Hannity could probably dismiss the dissatisfaction of most of the Island of MAGA Misfit Toys if it weren’t for one problem: According to two sources close to Trump, the former president himself is apparently “mad” at Hannity.

“In terms of direct contact with Sean, I think it’s been a while,” a Trump source said.

[…]

“Hannity was his lapdog for years, but just like everyone else who’s been Trump’s bitch at one point or another, the second Trump finds a reason to throw them in the garbage, he takes it,” a Trump adviser told The Daily Beast.

Oh well. Maybe Sean can try to get a position as full-time ass kisser for Ron DeSantis. After all, the Florida governor is said to be looking for acolytes who are willing to worship him and parrot his every word.
