Chris Wallace nails Roy Blunt for GOP spending hypocrisy: 'Haven't you lost your credibility on the deficit?

1. I'm liking Chris Wallace more and more

I think part of it is the RW assholes think they are safe on Fox, which is generally true, but Chris doesn’t always softball them to their surprise.

5. I would agree with you if he didn't allow them to lie just like Blunt did

Firs of all, trump and the republicans inherited a great economy, a rise in jobs number, nothing they did helped that, on the contrary, the moment they passed their tax cuts they signed the decline of everything they inherited form the Obama administration.

I predicted that we would go into a recession by the end of 2019 because I saw how the economy was already tanking, I was wrong about 2019 which should give kudos to Obama/Biden as they left such a strong economy that not even the republicans could crash it in two years, just like Bush did when he inherited a great economy from Clinton.

The pandemic accelerated the economic chaos that we have today, but that happened because republicans and trump decided not to do anything to stop the pandemic, and they are still trying to let the pandemic continue by opening states where there are republican governors.

Chris Wallace needs to be 100% with the truth, if you give them the last word, and that last word is always a lie when coming from republicans, then you are not doing your job. Yes, he gives them little slaps on the wrist here and then, but not enough.

2. The debt under Obama was caused by the Bush years!

And the economic growth under the former guy didn't deviate from trend lines already well established under Obama. Wish there was more followup on this typical Repub sophistry.

4. Yep, the Bush admin didn't put it's war debt on the books.

The Obama admin did.

3. When Wallace told the QOP fraud that he only had 2 minutes left....

all Blunt could say was the 2 minutes worth of lies, stalls and other time-waste monologue that he'd been trained to spew for just such occasions. My favorite is when politicians in the middle of an attempt to NOT answer a direct question will inevitably use the full name, United States of America, when "US", "us" or "we" would be more appropriate, s.t.r.e.t.c.h.i.n.g the response with fake patriotism, eating up time with words "no real American" could possibly have a problem with. It's the playbook of wartime propaganda unashamedly paraded out for every occasion. I guess, for them, it IS war, an eternal war against anyone or any fact they want to steamroll.

7. Why yes, yes he has.

and everyone sees it.

8. If Fox News had only hosts such as Wallace, it would still be unpalatable

He just looks competent compared to the others there.
These are, by any definition, SOFT BALL questions. Not even questions. Just "observations" by Wallace, who then allows any kind of response. "I think every administration has these kinds of problems....blah blah blah..."

9. Great way to preface any question to a Republican these days

Haven't you lost your credibility on ____?
