Fox News host Jeanine Pirro blames Barack Obama for Rob Porter wife-beating scandal

[Soph0571]

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro suggested that former President Barack Obama was to blame for the scandal surrounding ex-Trump aide Rob Porter.

Porter never received full security clearance and was ousted from his position Thursday after reports surfaced that he physically abused two ex-wives. White House chief of staff John Kelly initially defended Porter as a “man of true integrity and honor.” But he later expressed shock at the allegations and reportedly forced him to resign.

According to Pirro, however, Kelly should not be blamed for the Porter scandal — but the previous president should.

“You want to stop a four-star general who is running the White House, who believes in chain of command, who makes a decision within forty minutes, because you hate President Trump? Find another scapegoat. You might want to look at the last president,” she said.

1. Why are you posting this shit here? n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

4. Obama did it!!

That crafty Obama made Porter beat 2 wives, caused Kelly to make bad decisions, bogged down TrumPutin's security review process, posted this rawstory article here, and is probably responsible for the milk in my cereal being sour!!!!1

But, of course (real) Pres. Obama is to blame for Rob Porter being an abuser.

[syringis]

19. Hello Hermit

Even better : it is Obama who has beaten Porter's wives and forced Porter to take the responsibility....

Ok, Fox's audience is not known for it's critical sense. But seriously ? Trump's base believe that nonsense ????

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. hi syringis

I keep coming back to this thread for the laughs when other news gets me mad.

That Obama... he should be emperor of the world by now, based on Fox, Rush, Jones and TrumPutin.

What effect would transpire if Trump heard that Hannity is taking money under the table to feed him crap, paid by one of Hillary's secret societies?

[syringis]

32. LOL, you hit the nail on the head !

Well, since we're evolving in an absurd dimension :

The world is too small...

By Fox et al standards, Obama, a sort of Super Sorcerer, has already laid the basis to control the Galaxy and of course, he is planning to pressure locals from our neighboring galaxies.

A therapy probably...to evacuate old frustrations. I don't know, perhaps a matter of birth certificate ?

Am I absurd enough to compete Fox ?

[Glamrock]

5. Gotta keep up with the propaganda being spread malaise.

I, for one, want to know what they're saying so I'm not blindsided later.

But, I do get your point.

[malaise]

6. I hear you

[Glamrock]

7. Oh and

good morning!

[malaise]

9. Good morning

Have a nice day

[SMC22307]

22. Exactly. I've got a mid-30s FB friend/neighbor who believes...

John Kerry "pussied out" of Vietnam. How right-wingers went from purple Band-Aid chick to 'he didn't serve' is astonishing, but the masters excel at making their puppets dance.

[lunasun]

35. I think Gorka she was interviewing per the link is what Fox News watchers will say

Only because it is absolutely insane and makes no sense
Big time CT now with these folks dreadful deranged followers

Gorka
“If they want to gum up the works and make the Trump administration’s job harder and harder, they play bureaucratic slow rolls.”

“It might be a deliberate minefield put in place where they know somebody like this has skeletons in their closet and they slow roll everything to make things like this explode a few months later,” Gorka told Pirro.

43. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance,

as someone once said, or, in the vernacular: You've got to keep an eye on those sons-a-bitches!


Back in the early 1990s my teenage son used to ask why I listened to Rush so much. He said Limbaugh will never make a real difference, that I shouldn't mind him. The above was my answer. (By the way, I wish he had been right.)

[Glamrock]

47. You've got to keep an eye on those sons-a-bitches!

[Atticus]

18. I agree. We have some posts asking how we can get rid of FOX and others spreading their

nonsense. Pirro is not just deplorable; she's despicable. We can't stop her from preaching to her choir, but we shouldn't sit in her congregation.

[malaise]

25. Precisely

[skip fox]

46. We can always wear blindfolds.

But we need to see what's coming.

[7962]

34. This post is here to be laughed at. Nothing wrong with that. Its Not serious news.

On occasion, I've posted actual news stories from the Fox site simply because it was breaking (real) news and they were the ones who broke it. It does happen!

[Atticus]

44. I'd feel better about that if I wasn't old enough to recall that Trump was

"a candidate to be laughed at" and P T Barnum's observation that "No one ever went broke by underestimating the taste of the American public."

[7962]

58. Very true!

Only reason I didnt think trump had no chance is because of the American TV culture. A reality tv star could get votes. Oprah could very well have won had she run.
The Kardashianism of the US has put us on the road to ruin

[Cha]

2. fux lies the suckers suck

it up.

[Glamrock]

3. How in the fuck

is Obama to blame for the fact that this pos couldn't get a security clearance, Kelly knew why (I hate that this asshole has my name. I cringe just typing it.), and they let him continue in the white house anyway? WTF man. WT actual F.

[7962]

36. Its that Democrat plot machine. They had someone give his wife the black eye all those years ago;

KNOWING that in the future Trump would be elected, and that he also would pick this guy to work in the White House.
Its a BRILLIANT plan and was executed perfectly.
Its just like those Democrats who, 56 years ago, took Barack Obama from Kenya as a baby and began creating his life history as starting in Hawaii, knowing that decades in the future he would become President!

[Glamrock]

38. Ahhhhhh...... I see.

We really are brilliant tacticians aren't we!

[brush]

42. Yeah, they even thought to put O's birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper back then.

[Raster]

8. And the Harpy of the Year Award goes to...

10. Oh, FFS !!!!!

[safeinOhio]

11. Will Fox give me credit for not being PC?

Jeanine Pirro has shit for brains.

[Vinca]

12. Is she on the sauce again?

[Glamrock]

16. Not an excuse.

I'm on the sauce (love me a Sunday morning buzz and a nap. LOL!) and I can tell what an idiotic argument it is.

Meanwhile, slackjawed Fox viewers are nodding their heads in agreement without a single critical thought. While that is horrible to contemplate, it makes me feel like a MENSA candidate!

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. Drugs, perhaps? Her eyes look oddly wide (nt)

[lunasun]

37. Drugs , Sauce no excuse for hate and lies . She is getting paid that's the fuel

[SWBTATTReg]

13. Don't worry, she is destroying what little remains of her ...

credibility. Can't destroy anything else because she doesn't have any intelligence or smarts left. She reminds me of bullies who scream and screech at anything just for ratings/attention.

Peace to all, and Happy Sunday!

[90-percent]

14. I would reccomend a new category for such info

For "Fox Propaganda oppo research"

I cannot watch Fox, esp Hannity and Tucker, they make a living promoting vicious lies and are paid to disseminate false propaganda. Their STANDARD BELIEFS, which are disseminated using the best nazi mass media manipulation practices had to offer, are nothing but poppyock intended to make us turn on each other and aspire to more hate. And make us embrace and vote for KLEPTOCRACY.

Like, did you know Dems like immigrants because they become DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.


Dems win elections using crooked votes from dead people.


Dems vote many times using false identities and swing elections.


Trickle down economics will work great this time.

our leader is wise to mock the north korean president

the real russian scandel involved only Hillary and Russians

Trump stands for the little guy

He's a great moral Christian businessman who has a stellar record on business ethics.


and so on. The CONVENTIONAL WISDOM over there is very effective corporate mass programming. They changed the basic beliefs of a large groups of Americans that aren't educated about propaganda and mass media. That choose to be told what to think.

[no_hypocrisy]

15. Pirro didn't connect the dots.

How does she figure that President Obama was responsible for Porter beating his wives, for the Trump Administration hiring Porter, and for Porter being let go?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. innuendo

By suggesting and allowing Faux cultists to "connect the dots", it allows them to feel clever and superior, and therefore more apt to repeat their incredible discovery of nonsense.

It's recruitment for the cult.

Write out all the specifics of what she merely insinuates and it becomes completely ridiculous. It makes for a good giggle, though.

[47of74]

17. She took a breaking for having a restraining order slapped on her.

[VOX]

20. This woman has a criminal past, like most Fox *entertainers*

Her husband went to prison for income tax evasion and other crimes. Somehow she got off, but she did benefit financially from her husband’s criminality.

Later on, she got into some near-hot water by possibly wiretapping her philandering husband illegally.

Just the person I want to listen to about what’s right and wrong.

[dalton99a]

41. Yep.

[HelenWheels]

21. Pirro is an attention seeker

And is bat shit crazy.

[rzemanfl]

26. "Pirro blames speeding ticket on Obama."

It wouldn't surprise me.

[7962]

39. And 119MPH!!!! nt

[rzemanfl]

40. It was Obama's fault she couldn't do 120. n/t

[Perseus]

27. I understand she was a judge?

How did she make it through Law School? In the words of Forrest Gump, "She is as stupid as stupid does". Every time she opens her mouth something deplorable comes out, how does she do it? It has to be an art.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. Jeanine Pirro was not judge except on TV.

Not elected. Not nominated and voted on. Not a judge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanine_Pirro

She was Assistant District Attorney (prosecutor) and District Attorney for Westchester County in New York State for a spell.

[TreasonousBastard]

45. see above

[brush]

50. She was once considered a rising star in NY politics, but her husband's mob connections...

jail stint and her own complicity kinda blew that to smithereens. Maybe that also blew her mind and contributed to her bat-shit-craziness of late.

Whatever did it, she's certainly certifiable now.

I mean just the way-out-there-in-Pluto's-orbit foolishness of blaming O for this wife beater beating his wife is nearly unfathomable.

And I have to qualify that statement with a "nearly" as it's hard to understand how her mind could even form such a thought.

But then I remember we're dealing with the present-day repug mind so we can be sure there will be other screw ups soon for Pirro to jump to preposterous, other-worldly conclusions about, and I'm sure they will also emanate from the mutiple-scandal-a-day trump administration.

[TreasonousBastard]

49. She spent a little over 2 years as a Westchester County judge...

then she ran for DA and managed to win.

Curiously, she chaired a commission on domestic abuse at some point that resulted in some decent law being passed.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. Of course she did. Nt

[IluvPitties]

31. Is she on drugs?

[MGKrebs]

33. "Cognitive Ability and Vulnerability to Fake News"

Interesting story. We already know this but it's nice to see some scientific validation.

"Fake news can distort people’s beliefs even after being debunked. For example, repeated over and over, a story such as the one about the Pope endorsing Trump can create a glow around a political candidate that persists long after the story is exposed as fake."

[airmid]

48. Gods I hate this woman. I guess I need to look into blocking anything with Pirro's name in it.

[Volaris]

51. I'm not sure I follow her logic lol...

She seems to be suggesting that Obamas WH was such a tightly run ship that in an effort to do the same (and be as efficient) Kelly made a quick decision that turned out to be wrong? Like this is Obamas fault for setting the bar just so damn high that it's unfair to expect anyone else be able to meet it?. I am I reading that right?

Thanks a LOT, Obama!

[MaryMagdaline]

52. The "slow roll" was probably enacted to give every

President enough time to get rid of bad appointees before it becomes publicly known that they cannot pass the security checks. Who knew the Trumpsters would hang onto a wife beater a full year before encouraging him to find another job before his life imploded? The FBI is probably sick of holding this information private for so long.

[tblue37]

53. Of course she does. And notice, she is outraged that it was revealed at an inconvenient

time, not that Porter beat his wife's and girlfriend.

[syringis]

55. Hello Tblue

She does have the sense of priorities

After all, in Trump's world, women and punching ball are two words conviniently interchangeable...

[smirkymonkey]

54. Bat-shit crazy, drunken lady says what?

I'm sorry, but this is nothing more that the ranting of a mentally ill, desperate woman who will say anything to stay relevant. She is failing miserably.

[doc03]

56. I thought Pirro was dog in Spanish. I looked it up

it's Perro that is only one letter off though.

[mercuryblues]

57. FFS

She got it all wrong.

Obama is He who shall not be named. The more they mention his name, the more evil he perpetuates on them. He is actualy living underneath Calista Gingrich's helmet hair. Now you know why Reagan loved black jelly beans so much. He thought he was eating Obama's magical powers.
