Fox News threw everything but the kitchen sink at Kamala Harris

[marmar]

(CNN) Fox News was in full attack mode Tuesday night, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Kamala Harris. From depicting her as a "radical running mate" to mocking the pronunciation of her name to suggesting Joe Biden didn't actually select her himself, the conservative network's prime time lineup was in overdrive.

Frankly, if you stripped the network's programming of any identifying labels or names, and just looked at a transcript of the 8pm to 11pm hours, you'd be forgiven if you mistook the channel for a Trump 2020 campaign livestream.

Of course, that isn't terribly surprising. The alliance between Fox News and President Trump has been well documented. But the attacks on Tuesday night serve as a guide for what the Trump campaign and right-wing media at large are going to throw at Harris. So I thought it would be useful to provide a tick-tock of the network's coverage here.

Meanwhile, Ingraham scrapes bottom of barrel

Laura Ingraham opened her show by perpetuating the theme from right-wing media that Biden won't actually be in control of his White House. Ingraham read what she characterized as a "telling tidbit" from Biden's email to supporters in which he said, "I've decided that Kamala Harris is the best person to help me take this fight to Donald Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021."

Ingraham then commented, "Wait, wait, to lead this nation? Wasn't that you supposed to be on the top of the ticket doing all that leading for us, Joe? You know, that whole presidency then? Come on, man. Even Joe is witted enough to understand that he's not really going to be running the show if he wins in November." Ingraham deserves credit for extrapolating all of that from an innocuous line in the Biden campaign email. ...............(more)

4. I'm shocked that they haven't asked to see her birth certificate.

I’d expect that from such a delusional news network like Fox.

5. Ingraham

7. Vice-President Biden

was saying she and he shall fight trump and pence and he would then get busy leading this nation out from under the heel of trump and pence. And the ++ will be that the other fighter Senator Kamala Harris will be at his side. That's how I read it. Ingraham is an idiot and doesn't know contextually subtlety. Go, Joe and Kamala!!!

8. Just shows how

desperate they are. I think even the jerks at fox know trump is in deep, deep trouble, and he isn't likely to win in November. They just keep trying to pacify the moron and chief to keep him happy.

When he loses he is going to crazy attacking everyone around him for not doing enough to get him elected again. It won't be a pretty sight to see.

This is a kick-ass ticket and the Dems are on fire.
