Fox News reporter: Clinton operates as shadow president (WTF?!!!)

[icymist]

Fox News reporter John Roberts on Monday referred to Hillary Clinton as a "shadow president," arguing she is one of President Trump's most prominent critics and that her statements carry weight.

The comments came during a Twitter exchange with former Obama administration aide Tommy Vietor, in which Vietor said asking Trump to comment on Clinton's remarks about the NFL is "stupid" and a "wasted opportunity" to question the president about the real issues.

..."I was merely using a British parliamentary term used to designate the opposition critic as a metaphor," he tweeted.

1. Good to know she is having an effect.

These right-wingers need to sustain a boogey-man to keep their supporters on task.

2. If only she could!

A shadow president would be so much better than the haze-of-stupidity one we have.

3. Shadow government. Not a bad idea.

Cause lord knows, Trump is truly a fuckup.

4. Where is the shadow congress and can I lobby them to impeach trump?

Oh wait, never-mind, that's the Koch guys and the Mercers and those types of folks. They are already in full swing.

His loyal followers heads will explode.

6. He was evading Tommy Vietor's question

about why Faux refuses to cover anything Dotard does. Just kept returning to HRC. When a Faux Nooze agent is asked anything, anything at all, the answer always has to do with HRC.

Q: What kind of shampoo do you use?
A: HRC bought two bottles of shampoo using charity funds!

7. I knew J.D. Roberts ...

... (the name he went by at the time) when he was a vee-jay on MuchMusic in Toronto (yes, he's Canadian).

He was widely known in the music biz as an arrogant asshole - and I see he hasn't changed.

9. Yup, every time I see him in the press pool I lean over and say to my wife

"I remember when this idiot called himself JD Roberts, and was a DJ on Much Music". What a fucking tool.

11. I was a writer for a music-biz magazine ..

... in those days, so JD and I were often at the same industry events. He was unspeakably rude and arrogant - really saw himself as a star.

8. Somebody has to run the country.

This is what happens when you put an incompetent imbecile in charge.

10. Replace "Clinton" with "Koch Brothers" and I'll agree.

Otherwise...

12. B.S. He just loves having her around to bash. She's his personal boogieman.

His bubbuh morons lap it up.

13. I'm glad Hillary is our secret real president
