Fox & Friends Praises Trump Over Tough Talk With Putin: 'Democrats Have Nowhere to Go' Now

by Josh Feldman | 11:40 am, July 8th, 2017

Fox & Friends this morning praised President Trump for his meeting with Vladimir Putin yesterday and said that bringing up election interference completely shut down one of the Democrats’ talking points.

“He wasn’t supposed to bring up the meddling,” Abby Huntsman said. “The Democrats were saying he’s never gonna talk about this, he’s not even gonna touch it, so guess what? President Trump not only touched it, it was the first thing he brought up in this meeting.”

She concluded that “Democrats have nowhere to go” now because Trump raised the election interference issue directly to Putin.

Pete Hegseth said the Democrats have been in the “fantasyland of collusion” for too long. He said it should come as no surprise to anyone that Russia lies. Huntsman asked, “Then why do Democrats believe what they say today?”

“Exactly. And it’s amazing to watch the Democrats do whatever they can to discredit this President,” Hegseth said. “First he was wrong because he won’t bring it up. Then when he brings it up he’s wrong ’cause the Russians are giving a different story. They’re gonna spin whatever they want to make themselves look good. If anything, they’re expert propagandists.”

Conservatives are living in a fantasy world. They've living in a parallel universe of their own creation, devoid of context, reason, facts or awareness of any sort of history. And they vote in droves!!

so that they can be convinced of the preferred Trump regime lie before exposure to reality. So they present the proles with "Trump Is Tough!!! Dems Know Nothing!!!", and by the time they talk to someone whose seen the real news, they can dismiss that as "Fake Nooz!!!!!".

It is the American Pravda.

Both Trump and Putin agreed to brush off the whole thing and work together to create some kind of shared cyber security group. Trump didn't attack or address jack shit. He agreed with Putin and has kept open the door for more interference in future elections!

Seems like a true news organization would be concerned when leaders start meddling and degrading that.
