WATCH: Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Fox’s Peter Doocy A Lesson On The Issues Of Bigotry And Hate

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre schooled Fox correspondent Peter Doocy during the daily press briefing today, and while he tried to suggest the Biden administration hasn’t been vocal condemning anti-Israel demonstrations in the United States, Jean-Pierre made it clear he was wrong and trying to push a narrative that simply doesn’t exist.

Doocy began by asking, “Does President Biden think the anti-Israel protesters in this country are extremists?” 

The press secretary responded, “What I can say is that we’ve been very clear about this,” Jean-Pierre explained. “When it comes to anti-Semitism, there is no place. We have to make sure that we speak against it very loud and be very clear about that.”

Jean-Pierre then added that Biden had decided in large part to run in 2020 after seeing white supremacists marching in Charlottesville, Virginia as they chanted, “Jews will not replace us!”

“He saw neo-Nazis marching down the streets of Charlottesville with vile, anti-Semitic hatred.”

Doocy, however, wasn’t content with that answer, so he continued to push:

“We hear you guys talk about extremists all the time. It is usually about MAGA extremists. So what about these protesters who are making Jewish students feel unsafe on college campuses? Are they extremists?”

Jean-Pierre reiterated that the administration was “calling out any form of hate.”

“Does President Biden look at these anti-Israel protests on college campuses and think it’s nice to see that the country’s youth are so involved, or does he think the next generation is doomed?” Doocy asked.

“Here’s the thing, there’s no place for hate in America,” Jean-Pierre replied, only to be interrupted by Doocy.

That’s when the press secretary dropped the hammer on Doocy.

“No, no, no, no. I’m telling you! There’s no place for hate in America, and we condemn any anti-Semitic threat or incident in the strongest terms.”

That’s a stark contrast with failed one-term former president Donald Trump, who insisted there were “very fine people” on both sides of what transpired in Charlottesville.

There is no such thing as a “fine” anti-Semite, bigot, or racist. They’re a stain on this country and they deserve to be called out and shamed in the strongest terms possible.

WATCH A Fox Host Put This GOP Congressman In His Place For Refusing To Do His Job

Fox Business host Stuart Varney got into a verbal altercation with Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), and put the congressman in his place for refusing to say he’d be willing to compromise with Democrats and avoid a government shutdown later this year.

During a Monday interview, Varney told Roy, “Well, reading between the lines, it sounds like you are a holdout again, and that you are quite prepared to shut the government down. You are, aren’t you? Yes, you are.”

Roy responded:

“Well, let me just say, Stuart, the question here is, do you believe that we should continue to fund a United Nations that literally just stood with Hamas? Should we continue to fund a wide open border that is endangering my constituents, where people are dying from fentanyl?”
“No, I’m not going to blindly saddle up and say, sure, let me write another blank check for all of America to wonder what their leaders in Washington are doing.”

That’s when Varney called Roy out for his recalcitrance.

“But I do remember, was it three, four weeks ago? House Republicans rejected a deal that Speaker McCarthy had worked out because they said it wasn’t good enough, and we had three weeks where we didn’t have a speaker, and the Republican Party was embarrassed up and down the wazoo throughout the entire country.”

“Well, remember, Stuart, that I was a part of putting forward a proposal that would have reduced spending, secured our border, and kept the government going,” Roy countered.

Varney then reminded Roy, “Yeah, and you didn’t have the votes for it. So what’s the point? Now we have a speaker. What is the point? If you know you don’t have the votes, so you shut down the government, we’re embarrassed all over again.”

Clearly agitated by what the Fox host had just said, Roy had this to say:

“All right, Stuart, what do you want to do? Sign up for the endless spending plan for our Democratic colleagues that’s destroying our country.”
“If that’s what you want, then just bring Democrats on your show to continue to vomit out all of the ridiculous spending programs and my Republican colleagues who absolutely refuse to do their job and do what they said they would do.”

Who’s refusing to do their job? Chip Roy and many of his Republican colleagues. They’re willing to shut down the government, send the economy into a tailspin, and then try to blame it all on someone else.

Every elected Republican needs to be voted out of office come November of next year. It’s the only way this country will ever be able to move forward and get things done.

Here’s the video from Fox Business:

Sidney Powell’s Plea Deal Should Have Fox’s Maria Bartiromo ‘Looking Over Her Shoulder’

The plea deal made with Georgia prosecutors Thursday by former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell could wind up having major legal implications for others who played a role in the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Among those who are now vulnerable, according to Marshall Cohen of CNN, is Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.

Powell had numerous contacts with other people in Trump’s orbit and could now be required to turn over evidence against them. Her guilty plea also implicates the group of Republicans who breached Coffee County’s voting systems in early 2021. Another member of that alleged scheme, bail bondsman Scott Hall, has already pleaded guilty.

She was also in touch with prominent right-wing media figures, including former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and current Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. All three of them are facing defamation lawsuits from voting technology companies, and Powell’s admissions in the criminal cases could strengthen the defamation allegations.

Fox has already had to pay a massive settlement of $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems, and now Bartiromo could also be on the hook for millions in addition to possibly losing her job for featuring Powell and other members of the Trump team as part of her show.

Powell’s plea deal is also a problem for failed former president when it comes to the federal case filed against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith, Cohen notes.

Just think of it: Trump, Bartiromo, and Tucker Carlson finally having to pay a price for their lies. That would be some incredibly sweet karma.

Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Brings The Receipts When Her Co-Hosts Say Hillary Clinton Is A ‘Threat To Democracy’

Conservatives and right-wingers are absolutely furious that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dared to say this week that a “deprogramming of the cult members” who constitute a large portion of former president Donald Trump’s base is needed.

Specifically, Clinton remarked:

“Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.”
“And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” Clinton added. “He’s only in it for himself.”

That led to a spirited discussion on Friday’s broadcast of Fox’s “The Five,” with co-host Jeanine “Box o’ Wine” Pirro asking if perhaps Clinton’s comments could be considered a “threat to democracy.”

Pirro’s inquiry led to a sharp response from co-host Jessica Tarlov, who began reminding Pirro of the many disgusting, offensive, and potentially dangerous things that have been said by Trump and his supporters over the years.

“I really need everyone to spare me the faux outrage and the pearl-clutching about this.”

“Little collection of things that Donald Trump and high-ranking Republicans call liberals on a daily basis: anarchists, anti-American, deranged, communists, corrupt, compromised, groomers and perverts, thugs and traitors.”

Tarlov also noted that if President Joe Biden happened to have been indicted on 91 criminal charges the way Trump has, what would Republicans have to say about that? They clearly have no problem with Trump’s legal issues.

“And then I told you, ‘So all of that is happening and he’s shooting up in the polls.’ And when you see those interviews of Trump supporters outside of the rallies, they’re like: ‘None of this is true. It’s the big lie. He won the election.'”
“And you wouldn’t say to me, ‘You guys are in a cult’? It’s actually tame what Hillary Clinton was saying.”

The real reason Republicans are so upset by what Hillary Clinton said is because she’s absolutely right. MAGA is a cult, and the only way cult members can ever be reformed is by deprogramming them.

Cry all you want, Jeanine. The truth always hits hardest for a liar.

MT Greene May Have Committed A Federal Crime With Comments She Made During An Interview

During an appearance on Fox “News,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made some comments that may come back haunt her in a major way if the Justice Department decides to investigate her for endangering U.S. national security.

Greene was a guest on Laura Ingraham’s show, HuffPost reports, when she began talking about classified document she viewed regarding President Joe Biden.

Greene said she read a document inside a SCIF ― a sensitive compartmented information facility ― related to bribery allegations Republicans have made against President Joe Biden but have yet to provide evidence for.

So far so good for Greene, but she should have stopped talking right then. She didn’t. Instead, she began describing the document.

Since the document was shown in a SCIF, that means the FBI considered it to be sensitive and not for public consumption.

Greene then made matters even worse with what she said and did next.

“This is a document that all of America should be able to see, but the FBI is stonewalling us and they would only let us see it in a SCIF,” she said. “Well what I did after reading the document is I made notes when I walked out and I went up to the table.”

Greene also held those notes up to the camera, where anyone could have gotten a screenshot of them.

“I wrote down everything that I had just read so that I could come out and tell the American people what I read,” she said.

If indeed the guilty almost always confess, it certainly seems that Marge did just that, and on national television, which raised more than a few eyebrows, beginning with Mark Zaid, an attorney who specializes in national security.

Others also suggested that Greene had just broken federal law, ironically for almost the same thing her lord and savior, Donald Trump, has been indicted for.
