A frequent contributor to Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show casually dismissed the news of a former MSNBC analyst joining the fight in Ukraine against Russian forces.

Raymond Arroyo told Ingraham on Wednesday night that Malcolm Nance’s decision to take up arms was mere theatrics.

“This is the biggest crock of theatrical nonsense since Brian Williams flew over Iraq,” Arroyo charged, referring to the former NBC News anchor’s false claim that his helicopter came under fire in 2003. But Arroyo didn’t specify how he believes Nance’s time in the war-torn country rises to the level of a fabricated story. Instead, Arroyo took issue with Nance’s ability to be impartial, even though he acknowledged earlier that Nance is no longer an MSNBC analyst.

“Talk about a correspondent gone wrong. How can you provide impartial analysis of a war when you’re a party to the war, actually on the ground?” Arroyo said.

Then, after noting Nance’s think tank, the Terror Asymmetrics Project, Arroyo and Ingraham each wondered who is providing it with financial support.

“Is MSNBC funding his new venture?” Ingraham asked.

“No, I don’t think so,” Arroyo replied. “But they are promoting him—I mean—on the ground.”

After Nance, a retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer, appeared on MSNBC Tuesday night while on the ground in Ukraine, he told The Daily Beast, “If anybody gives me any fucking flak, just tell them to shut the fuck up since they’re obviously pussies who have never been in combat.”

4. The Republican Playbook - denigrate Democratic heroes that try to make a difference.

They have a long history of trashing Democrats with significant military service....it's in their DNA.

Their idea of a military hero is reduced to disgraced, former NSA chief, Gen. Michael Flynn. The man ought to be returning to military service for court-marshalling ond stripped of all pension/benefits.

Fox News correspondent lost half of his leg, his foot from the other leg, and partial loss of function in one eye from attack in Ukraine

And still zero respect for people in Ukraine reporting, and apparently zero respect for people fighting as well.

6. Because they deliberately ignore the truth...

...they don't know anything useful. So everything they say is harmful.

Conservative in viewpoint, it is widely believed to be the target of Pope Francis's comment in late September 2021 that media attacks on his papacy are "the work of the devil."

Recurring guests on the weekly EWTN show "The World Over", hosted by EWTN anchor Raymond Arroyo, include prominent Francis critics, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, who co-signed a list of "dubia" about Pope Francis’ openness to allowing divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Communion in some cases, and Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former head of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who was not renewed for another term by Pope Francis in 2017. Two years later, Cardinal Müller published a "manifesto of faith" in the EWTN-owned Catholic News Agency and other outlets that have been critical of the pope, arguing against Francis’ teaching on Communion for the divorced and remarried.

Other guests include Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who has called on the pope to resign. EWTN also features a group calling itself "The Papal Posse"—which includes along with Raymond Arroyo, the Rev. Gerald Murray (a New York priest, former U.S. Navy chaplain and canon lawyer), and Robert Royal (a Catholic author who founded the D.C. think tank the Faith and Reason Institute and the blog "The Catholic Thing" ) the — that according to Colleen Dulle of America magazine, "riffs on one another’s criticisms of the pope and has given uncritical interviews to anti-Francis guests like Steve Bannon, who argued on air that his own populist politics better represent Catholic social teaching than Pope Francis does".

9. I Thought I Recognized the Name, Ma'am

Used to watch EWTN on occasion for shits and giggles, being an old Catholic boy and no friend to the Vatican. This critter is in a line makes Opus Dei seem sort of middle of the road....

15. Arroyo is no friend to the Vatican, either.

He was a frequent promoter of Abe Vigano, the priest who sparked the whole "Francis should resign" thing, which turned into a flop. An international observer remarked that the American church will end up "howling and alone." It may already be there.

11. He is one of the EWTN radtrad reactionaries, and he is also a frequent guest on Ingraham's...

...TV and radio shows. He fills in for her as well. Arroyo has a senior role at EWTN ("news" director, I think), and he is one of the main reasons that network has become such a malignant force in Catholicism today.

14. American Catholicism

Only eight percent of the church is in the U.S. The church world-wide has lots of problems, including the American church, which is fast becoming an embarrassment.

10. Well, well, well. Lookey who's been tanning their balls.

13. There's a trope in all this somewhere, that ends with the Tuckems of the world,

Very very much want THEIR balls, to look like Malcolm's...hence, the tanning.
