Tommy Chong Tells Fox Hosts Gruber-Gate 'Sounds Like Benghazi All Over Again'
Tommy Chong was this Wednesday's #OneLuckyGuy on Foxs Outnumbered, and the hosts got a little more than they bargained for when they continued their attacks on Obamacare and Jonathan Gruber.
I'm not sure why the producers over at Faux "news" thought it was a good idea to book Tommy Chong as the #OneLuckyGuy on this Wednesday's Outnumbered, or why Chong has any desire to appear on Fox... ever. Whatever the reasons, I have a feeling they may not want him back on there any time soon after what happened when they continued the Fox freakout over Jonathan Gruber's remarks that they've been running in a continuous loop over there for the last week or two.
Here's more from our friend Ellen at News Hounds: Watch Tommy Chong Smack Down Foxs Attacks On ObamaCare: Sounds Like Benghazi All Over Again:
First, the four Fox hosts tried to get Chong to knock the glitches in the HealthCare.gov rollout. He replied, My thing about the whole ObamaCare is that its better than Bushs ObamaCare.
One of the hosts asked, What was Bushs ObamaCare?
Chong said, He never had one.
There was a nervous titter from one host and silence from the rest.
Tantaros brought up Gruber and his claim that stupid Americans were misled in order to pass the Affordable Care Act.
Chongs reply: To me, its just another attack on ObamaCare from another angle. Sounds like Benghazi all over again.
Later, Tantaros tried to argue that Grubers old comments represent an attack on the American people for how quote stupid we are.
Chong said, You have to define what stupidity means, you know. If you are opposing universal health care based on rumors of lies then that it is a stupid way to be.
That shut them up.
