Fox News Host Shuts Down Guests for Politicizing Biden's Coronavirus Speech

After showing viewers Biden’s address in full, Fox News host Harris Faulkner welcomed her “power panel” with a warning. “Politics aside, and we’re going to have to do that with COVID-19, we just are,” she began, “what would you say is the main takeaway from what the administration that Joe Biden says he would do?”

Plante and his left-leaning counterpart Ethan Bearman started shouting over each other, accusing each other of telling lies and generally devolving into a typical cable news food fight argument.

But this time was different. “Gentlemen, please!” Faulkner exclaimed. “You know what, I don’t find this helpful right now,” she said calmly and the two men continued to spiral out of control.

“COVID-19 on the horizon, that’s what we’re focused on right now,” Faulkner said. “And I want both of you to focus in.” As they both chuckled uncomfortably, she continued, “I understand that politics are the game, but the bigger umbrella here is that people are watching for answers.”

Faulkner tried once more to give her guests a chance to discuss the differences in approach by Trump and Biden in a reasonable manner, saying that the American people will have to decide for themselves “what is best when they go to the polls in November....”


The are looking at a Biden administration. Joe's speech was a ground breaker moment.

Now on to the GE, wiping up the primary stuff along the way.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

the Fox endorsed Republican rep can lie and the Democrat rep gets called for offensive when he talks back. Fox is a waste of time.
