All Fun And Games Until Fox News Hosts Start Calling Bullsh*t On Trump's Big Lie




https://www.wonkette.com/brian-kilmeade-trump-arizona-audit-big-lie

Sounds like maybe the message is being carried through the building over at Fox News that if Donald Trump, the loser former president, does not stop whining about his embarrassing election loss in 2020, he runs a serious risk of losing it for the Republicans again in 2022.

Brian Kilmeade, not known for being the smartest or second-smartest host on "Fox & Friends," was on his radio show this week, and he said some very unkind words about Trump's continued lying about the election he lost:

“Right now, nobody cares about 2020. Nobody. And everything that he said and the challenges that he made should’ve been done before the election.


They were discussing Trump's batshit rally in Arizona where he suggested pardoning all the domestic terrorists who showed up to serve him on January 6. Kilmeade said after that rally, friends of Trump's “called him up and said that was the worst speech you ever gave.” But on his show, Kilmeade was focused on Trump's specific lies about the Arizona fraudit:

“And they did a recount in Arizona, and the recount showed no difference almost, and he came out and said it showed that they won Arizona.

“That’s an outright lie, and please stop wasting our time with that ...


That's an outright lie. And it's true. Even though the Arizona fraudit was an absolute shitshow and shouldn't be cited by anybody with a brain, even it managed to confirm that Joe Biden kicked Trump's dick in Arizona.

"because he’s capable of doing so much more.”


Haha, OK now you've lost us. We're still talking about the stupidest person God ever barfed out after a night of eating ass-exploding fast food, right? Donald Trump? He's not capable of more. But all the rest of this sentiment is pretty wow coming from Kilmeade.

around their necks. Eventually, I guess, everyone gets tired of constant whining about the same old tired b.s. TDFG is spewing. He needs some new material.

they are. Clearly just now realizing when you spend over a year telling your voters the elections are rigged so why bother and encouraging them to commit suicide by COVID eventually you do the math, then shit your pants.

Repughlicans are more stubborn than a nation of mules. As long as Sean Hambone and Tuckyo Rose continue to stand behind Trump, the chances of Repughs at large disowning the Orange Meatball are slim. I'd love to see it, though. Maybe a little praying would help. (How about that, Bill Maher?)
