59. Least bit of pushback and he cracks...
Sun Jun 7, 2026, 01:41 PM
Jun 7

If they are "fake news" and dirty, why does he go on their shows??

Because he doesn't usually care what the questions are, he gives the answers he wants to give. He sees it as an opportunity to keep lying to the American people and not have to answer for it.

Kudos to Welker for pressing him just a little today. That is more pushback than he is accustomed to. He could not handle it.

He said Comey was a "dirty cop". How would he know? He wasn't around long enough for him to find out and he certainly wasn't around during the Biden years? He fired him very early in his first term.

He was in charge when January 6th happened? It was his AG and Attorney General that chose to press charges against the cop beaters of January 6th. Biden was not yet in office. They only continued his efforts to prosecute the offenders of January 6th.

His timeline doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
