Maria Bartiromo astonished that "diminished mental capacity" Biden outsmarted McCarthy.

https://www.rawstory.com/maria-bartiromo-biden/

While interviewing Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Bartiromo expressed astonishment that Biden seemingly came out on top in his negotiations with House Republicans on a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling.

"Well, I mean, look, we're all talking about Joe Biden's mental capacity, it seems, every day," she said. "Are you saying you think Joe Biden outsmarted Kevin McCarthy?"

Donalds denied that 80-year-old president had outwitted his party's leadership and instead insisted that they caved to "pressures" from both the defense industry and from Republican members who "truly believe that the potential of default means that you have to abandon everything else because you have to solve that first."

Earlier this week, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) explicitly said that Republicans got outsmarted by Biden even though, she claimed, he "can't find his pants."


Apparently Biden could not find his pants but he did find Kevin's lunch and ate it.

When you only listen to Boobert and MTG your reality is kind of distorted. Bartiromo went off the deep end several years ago.

I'm all for free speech but in my view the FCC would be wise to reduce the amount of anger on TV.

She's on cable, and that's outside FCC control. People have spent years explaining this to people on DU (and other places), but we can't help those who refuse to accept reality.

The way to get her under control is to cancel your cable subscription and tell them that the reason is because you don't believe in paying Fox News to lie to you.

Diminished capacity Democrats are smarter than the brightest Republicans.
Maria is below that.

Their boy trump is the mental defective and his “family” is the “crime family,” but they insist on projecting all of their worst traits and behaviors onto those (mostly Democrats)who are decent, fair, and who truly, have the best interests of the people at heart. Republicans are a cult of psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists. In general, they are a cult of nasty, racist, mentally defective fascists and traitors. Somewhere in their warped minds, republicans know how awful they are, but it’s who they are, and in order to deal with those feelings, they project their rottenness onto others. Because they have no self awareness or shame, they don’t even recognize their hypocrisy. Every projection is an admission. They literally make me sick!

Accuse a Democrat with what the Republican is legitmately guilty of. Do it quick and fast to muddy the waters. Raise unsubstantiated accusations to the level of the real crime being perpetuated by the Republican. Further the "both sides do it." talking points.
