RNC chair links Biden to Fox News Christmas tree fire: 'This is a huge problem for Democrats'

[George II]

Source: Raw Story

Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel suggested on Wednesday that a Christmas tree fire at Fox News was President Joe Biden's fault.

McDaniel mentioned the tree fire after Fox News host Sandra Smith asked her for a prediction on the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections.

"What this poll is telling us is we're going to take back the House and the Senate and the American people want a change," McDaniel opined. "Biden is underwater. Harris's approval is under 30% and Republicans are more trusted on three key issues: the economy, inflation and crime."

"And these are issues we're seeing every day on our streets, around our homes, in our communities, on the news," she continued. "Look at your Christmas tree that was just burned down. This is a huge problem for Democrats."

This is getting really sick!

1. Another trumpian jackass.

[Me.]

2. What A Cow

[COL Mustard]

38. Please Don't Insult Actual Cows Like That.......

They serve several purposes and tend to taste delicious!

[Me.]

39. Well It Is True THat She Would Not Taste Delicious

[LenaBaby61]

69. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[madaboutharry]

40. Before I scrolled down to the comments here

my first thought was: “She is such a cow!”

[Me.]

65. Aha, Great Minds

[dchill]

3. That's some Full Monty right there.

Whatever that means.

[monkeyman1]

52. a regular Ronna Barrett of the rnc taliban !

the RNC should ask for the money back that TFG has because where he is going , won't need money ! all phone call's are collect ! 3 hot's & cot !! haven't figured out if he can take club's there ?

[Ziggysmom]

4. I've had enough of anti-democratic Republican bullshit!

Moscow Mitch said, “100 percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration,”. Believe him.

[Rebl2]

5. Wow

that’s a stretch

[elleng]

6. Time to HIT BACK, DIRECTLY at her, IMMEDIATELY.

Dems MUST have spokes people who can and WILL do this NOW!

with FACTS!

Jaime Harrison can START, and follow with LOUD and CLEAR spokespeople.

[hadEnuf]

22. This

We need to hammer these people by calling out their lies and then shove them right back down their throats. Saturate the airwaves and the internet.

What ever happened to great ideas like the 50 state strategy and the legendary Clinton/Carville campaign's lightning fast rebuttals to the GOP lies? Seems like we are just trying to forget the GOP and hope they will go away. To our own detriment.

[elleng]

25. The great ideas like '50 state strategy' were knocked down by 'hot shots' like rahm,

and the C/C'ville lightening responses have, it appears, died, a TERRIBLE situation. Truly killing is.

[hadEnuf]

31. All kinds of proven Dem strategies that have worked in the past are now ignored.

Yet the GOP is like a broken record. I don't get it....

[elleng]

36. I don't 'get' it either, but it happened and we must find ways.

Seems to me that POTUS may have begun, by changing the name of the programs, and getting out to Kansas/Missouri.

[calimary]

45. Has Jamie Harrison even noticed?

Shit - I don't see ANYTHING coming from him. No statements. No press conferences. No guesting on multiple TV talk shows. Is he even visiting radio talk shows? Any magazine articles or interviews? Any ANYTHING???

Or is he determined to be a "best-kept secret" or something? Is he playing a national game of "Hide 'n' Seek-Without-the-Seek-Part"? Went as the Invisible Man for Halloween and just kept the costume on?

SHEESH - leadership much??? And if so, WHERE??????????? Biden can't do it without help. And he's treading water alone.

[elleng]

48. Thinking the same thing.

[calimary]

60. No wonder his last election attempt failed.

So who decided to put this loser in command of our entire party? Some sneaky-ass republi-CON mole?

I’m guessing he’s a nice and congenial guy and aims to leave a likeable impression wherever he goes.

BUT THIS IS WAR!!!!! And you know what they say about where nice guys finish up.

[H2Oart]

63. Hmmmm

The leadership sucks at messaging. Replace Jaime Harrison immediately, and bring back Howard Dean. He knew how…

[calimary]

68. Hmmmm... if memory serves, Howard Dean stepped up to lead the DNC

and got some outstanding results in the very next election cycle (2006). If I recall correctly, he flipped the House for our side in 2006.

[LenaBaby61]

72. It's not 2006 anymore, and this mostly right-winged corporate media's out of control with ..

their GQP talking points.

We need a pit bull in there. Jamie's nice, but he appears to be too soft.

[H2Oart]

76. Yes

I agree

[calimary]

79. Welcome to DU, H2Oart!

Yep. I wish we could have Howard Dean back as DNC Chair. He kicked ass!

[LenaBaby61]

70. I like Jamie ...

He's a nice guy, but WAY too tame for my taste. You need a bull-dog to fight off the mostly corporate, right-winged media who run like HELL with GQP talking points.

I long for he days of Howard Dean and a half-way decent media.

[calimary]

75. But if you're in a job like his, you're NOT there to be liked.

Nobody cares if you’re likeable or you’re a nice guy. You’ve gotta be tough, nasty, in-yer-face, and bloodthirsty toward the damn GOP.

You have to understand, accept, and RESPOND to the GOP as the ruthless, lying, cheating, deceitful, duplicitous bastards they ARE. And treat them like the hypocritical treasonous schmucks they ARE.

Like the dirt they are.

And trust them as far as you can throw your house.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. She's a sick and stupid fvck, does she realize how ridiculous that sounds?

No sane person could possibly believe her nonsense.

[elleng]

9. Sounds ridiculous to US, but not to MANY others,

even some otherwise sane people.

Get the FACTS OUT.

[durablend]

21. We seem to always be playing defense

I smelled this a mile away. Why can't the people that are representing us be ready for this?

[elleng]

24. Yes, we ARE always playing 'defense,'

repugs have prepared for such for YEARS, and we 'just' react.

[Gore1FL]

41. They are more reactionary than thoughtful in this regard, I think.

I don't if they have prepared so much as they are simply willing to go on the offense on all things. I don't think that, in-and-of itself is a good strategy, either, but it does meet their ends.

[hadEnuf]

27. You are correct.

If anything the right wing is as predictable as Metamucil. We need to stay on the offence, be ready for what we know they will do and turn their lies right back on them immediately.

[monkeyman1]

26. what good is that going to do ? republican's don't like to read !!

[elleng]

28. they don't read f-x 'news', they hear those like RNC chair.

DNC chair and others MUST get out FAST.

[LenaBaby61]

73. Well, we had a gold-digging, third-lady who really didn't like Christmas...

NO ONE talks about her though, not even Dems bring up what she said. But wide load McDaniel brings this shit up? I'd have asked wide load what she thought of

What the former third-lady said came right out of her thin, birther, cruel, chain-migration having lips.

&t=274s

[LenaBaby61]

71. Most GQP'ers aren't sane. I have a few friends who are GOP'ers, and they're done with the GQP.

Who they think are crazy, hate this country and undemocratic.

They're older by the way.

[paleotn]

8. I wouldn't trust Ronna and her cast of fascist assholes...

to collect my trash. Just saying.

[Wicked Blue]

10. The War on Xmas escalates

[StClone]

15. Oh the humanity!

Well, they went down fighting.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. I didn't realize that McDaniel was that flexible.

That's an incredible (as in unbelievable) stretch.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. you are false data. i shall ignore you. meaning the story.

bomb 20 ,darkstar.

[rurallib]

13. Crazy person runs the crazy party

And honestly, her brother ain't a whole lot better.

When I was younger I thought their dad seemed to be a decent person. But what a couple of fucking idiots he left us with.

[Bayard]

14. Why do Democrats hate Xmas?!

Yes, we need PR people, and lots of them! Our opposition is on constantly spreading shit. How many people believe it because they don't hear anything to the contrary?

[truthisfreedom]

43. Why do the homeless hate faux snooze?

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Fight fire with fire. This hurt no one and was a poignant moment in the 2021 holiday season.

Let the fabricated "War on Christmas" begin!! Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us! Airing of the grievances starts ... NOW.
I got a lot of problems with you people.

[thenelm1]

44. Grievance #1

Stop shoving Xmas down our throats earlier and earlier every year!! Good lord, it starts in mid-October now. Sure, it's all a marketing strategy, but my gawd, by the time Xmas actually gets here I'm spent and done. Maybe they could do us all a favor and dial it back to "black Friday" at least! Please.

And Fugelsang made all the points about the Xmas that I could name - the subsuming of a pagan holiday, that the birth was most likely in the late spring based on a number of factors as described from the Christian story, and not mentioned, that Yeshua ben Yosef was one of hundreds of self-proclaimed "messiahs" from those times, many executed or imprisoned by the Romans. Assuming that he was a real person, he was Hebrew until his end, a rabbi, and would likely be aghast that his memory has been perverted the way it has been over the centuries - to include the continued persecution and attempts at extermination of those of his faith.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. Agreed! There is no break. It' s full-on craziness (the Holidaze)

[3auld6phart]

17. ??Holee crap

I can’t believe I read that shit that the RNC skank just
spewed out of her pie hole. Is she really an imbecile?

[Major Nikon]

18. GOP intellectualism at its finest

[durablend]

19. Called it!

[maxsolomon]

20. Dems get 11 months to fix 48 months of unprecedented GQP sabotage.

sorry, not good enough! we've no choice but to re-hire the saboteurs...

fact-free propaganda.

[PortTack]

23. Remember, the Dems do not have a 24/7 media machine to "immediately run to."

So, where is and how is it the Dems need to immediately get a counter message out there?

Serious question

[monkeyman1]

29. damn it ! they are not media ! a damn tabloid ! not a bit of intelligence !

[TimeToGo]

34. They aren't part of the legitimate media

[Gore1FL]

42. Whatever we call them, they have the ear of the right. nt

[elleng]

30. If we make enough noise/statements, some 'machines' will pick it up.

[ffr]

32. Borowitz, you genius!

[Mike Nelson]

35. I wonder...

... if Ms. Ronna might have plotted the fire? If the fire was "a problem for Democrats," we have to assume Republicans caused the fire. Republicans want Democrats to have problems. There's the motive... Ms. Ronna is a top Republican...

[durablend]

51. Pay homeless person to start fire?

Certainly not beneath them to do it.

[Mike Nelson]

57. I predict...

... that, if this Christmas trees are burning story works for them, there will be more Christmas trees burning. Nothing is beneath them.

[twodogsbarking]

37. Santa reportedly sick of red and will now wear a tan suit.

[texasfiddler]

46. Breaking News: Just like the stories at Fox, the tree was fake.

[betsuni]

49. "the American people want a change"

[tonekat]

50. Inflection Point Approaching?

The GQP is dismissing health officials in red states, changing the laws to let them choose electors, and other arrogant, power-grabbing actions.

And the Democrats are all business as usual. I feel like I'm being sucked into a black hole and the event horizon is approaching rapidly.

[LeftInTX]

53. They arrested someone. He was apparently also targeting the Rockefeller Center tree.

They say he is "well known to police"

https://abc7ny.com/fox-news-christmas-tree-on-fire-tyrus-nypd-new-york/11310845/

[area51]

54. The nazis at Faux probably set their own tree afire.

[DBoon]

78. like this?

[keithbvadu2]

55. No! No! No! False flag operation.

No! No! No!

False flag operation.

Trump's Nazis hijacked the Jewish Space Laser and lit up that tree.

Sarcasm?

[SeattleVet]

56. So now these folks are *against* a burning bush?

I expected more of them.

[Knight of the Middle]

58. The Blond Women on the Left of the Screen has Alien Eyes

Should we call David Icke?

[Deminpenn]

59. More an indictment of the polices, mostly pushed by the GOP,

that leave mentally ill people, as presumably this man is, to their own devices wih no safety net to catch them save jail.

[NCjack]

61. Faux Christmas tree fire: Inside job, to support their false claim that DEMs are

conducting war on Christmas.

[Paladin]

62. Repubes, accepting responsibility for their own foul actions?

That'll be the day...

[maxrandb]

64. Faux should have raked under the tree

We need to stop posting stuff from professional trolls, and that's all Ronna Romney is.

I mean FUCK!!!!!! She changed her own fucking name to appease an orange painted hot dog with a shaved Golden Retrievers ass stapled to his head.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

66. Me I link it to BILL OREAILLY! More than anyone he promoted the so called

war on Christmas - creating phony outrage out of SOME (but not all) businesses & govt entities choosing to say "happy holidays" instead of Merry Christmas because maybe they counted a number of non-Christians in their clientele. Im not and never was "offended" by someone saying Merry Christmas. What does offend me is if I choose to wish someone happy holidays (meaning all the holidays not only Christmas - Christmas Eve, solstice, New Years etc.) then a certain segment of my fam/ acquaintances might get bent out o shape about it. How is that the Christmas spirit, to reject someone's heartfelt HOLIDAY wishes just because they are overly sensitive and dont like the choice of words, hear anti-Christian sentimentthat doesnt exist?
So here's to YOU, Bill and Fox! Ya reap what you sow, as the saying goes. You wanted a war, you got one. Or what looks like one. It sounds like a lone nut.

[Omaha Steve]

67. Kick

[Picaro]

74. Her tether to reality is frayed

This is what happens when a party makes everything a partisan issue.

When you frame everything through a partisan lens then that irrational logic dictates that you think and say inanities like this.

The truth of course is that this particular story didn't even make it through one news cycle. This was an act by a homeless mentally ill man. The Democrats and Biden specifically knew nothing of this. The Republicans knew nothing of this.

It was an act by a madman that hurt no one and destroyed a huge, artificial Christmas tree.

Ronna continues to be utterly irrelevant. She can't even get on one of the main shows to spew her nonsense. Baghdad Bob redux.

[mpcamb]

77. Seems to have gotten the response intended- 76 comments and counting here.

It's like all those ridiculous trump quote that stole space from real stories for the last 4 years.
Just air, no substance, way more ink than it deserves and Dems acting defensive.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

80. Ronna dear

Maybe if Fux Noise would water that tree now and then. Remember what happened to the Griswold's tree.

[DemocraticPatriot]

81. Faux News shouldn't be allowed to have a Christmas tree.

The arsonist is obviously a true christian patriot.
