Fox host Gillian Turner wasn’t about to let Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) tell one lie after another about President Joe Biden during an interview on the network today.
Langworthy began lying from the get-go, claiming that a recent deposition of convicted felon Devon Archer, a business associate of the president’s son, Hunter had been conducted under oath.
“I just want to flag that,” Turner corrected. “I want to clarify. He was not under oath when he gave his deposition to the House committee.”
Langworthy then said, “The evidence just continues to pile up. But it’s a web of lies and deceit as the president continues to deny this involvement or knowledge.”
That led Turner to remind the congressman that Republicans have spent two years on the Biden investigation and proven nothing:
“And while you have certainly unearthed a trove of evidence that the committee says proves the president’s association. There has not been produced a smoking gun. Clear cut, undeniable proof of the president’s involvement with his son’s foreign business deals.”
Langworthy: “We’ve never claimed we have direct money going to the president.”
Once again, Turner was quick to fact-check the Republican:
“You said we never claimed that any money was funneled directly to the president. That is precisely the claim that the chairman of your committee, James Comer, and also Jim Jordan have made many times on public record.”
Clearly nonplussed, Langworthy could only reply, “We are putting an investigation together, laying out the facts on the business dealings of this family.”
The Fox host concluded the discussion by again fact-checking Langworthy:
“I’ve got to clarify again that the chairman of your committee and multiple colleagues of yours have made that direct claim, that money has been funneled to the president.”
