‘Fox & Friends’ Goes Berserk: Asking Sarah Sanders to Leave ‘Breaks Down the Basic Fabric’ of Society

Published

on

On Sunday morning, the hosts of Fox & Friends expressed dismay at reporting that White House Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family were booted out of a Virginia restaurant, and used the incident to illustrate how liberals are ruining America.

Friday night the White House press secretary was asked to leave by the owner of the Red Hen restaurant, who asked her employees if the party accompanying the Trump official should leave — before booting them.

With host Abby Huntsman noting that the owner said she would do it again if given the chance, co-host Peter Hegseth said it was an example of the breakdown of society.

“I’ll tell you, the business gets to do what it wants,” Hegseth began. “If they don’t want to serve somebody, this is America, this is a private company, they can do what they want. But the left has gone and lost their mind.”

“Viva le resistance has infiltrated everything,” he added. “She is seen as complicit — remember the whole Saturday Night Live with Ivanka Trump — and now she’s in the public square in the briefing room and is attacked daily by reporters. And now that has to go into the private realm of a restaurant.”

“It breaks down the basic fabric of our cities and towns and neighborhoods,” he opined. “People should be able to get along if if they have different views.”

20 Dead in El Paso Shooting Massacre That Has ‘Nexus to a Hate Crime’ – Some Slam Governor After This Tweet

20 people were shot to death and dozens more were injured at an El Paso Walmart Saturday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced.

At least one intelligence and terrorism expert has labeled the massacre domestic terrorism, and some are calling the suspect a Trump-supporting white supremacist.

Other reports say the shooter used an AK-47-style assault weapon.

El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen came close to describing the attack as a hate crime, saying it has a “nexus to a hate crime,” according to CNN’s Jim Sciutto.

But many are pointing fingers at Texas Governor Abbott, citing this 2015 tweet and saying he has blood on his hands today.

Fred Guttenberg, father of Jaime Guttenberg, who was shot to death in the Parkland, Florida massacre, spoke out against the governor:

Here’s how some others are responding:

Loyal Trump Economist Caught on CNN ‘Making Up Numbers’

Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell busted Trump-loving economist Stephen Moore on Friday when he falsely claimed that we are seeing vast “deflation” in the United States economy thanks to interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

During a CNN appearance, Moore tried to maintain that the economy was as strong as ever, but he also blamed the Fed for tanking the stock market by raising interest rates over the past several months.

“Both of the rate hikes were unnecessary and were a cause for deflation in the economy,” he said.

“Wait, wait, wait!” interjected Rampell. “There is no deflation!”

“Yeah there is,” Moore replied.

“No there is not,” she shot back. “Look at the Consumer Price Index!”

Moore tried to counter by noting that some prices on the Commodities Price Index had dropped — but Rampell hit back by saying that much of that was due to President Donald Trump’s trade wars.

“Soy bean prices are falling because of the trade war,” she said.

Rampell then nailed Moore for his false warnings during the Obama presidency that it was unwise for the Fed to keep interest rates low because it would lead to hyperinflation — despite the fact that the economy at the time was deeply depressed and much more in need of easy money.

“I’m old enough to remember when, ten years ago, during an actual deflation, you went on TV on a rival network and said we were about to have hyperinflation and told the Fed that it was irresponsible then to keep rates low,” she said. “It’s totally inconsistent and it’s totally irresponsible to make up numbers.”

“I’m not making up numbers,” Moore replied defensively.

President’s New Chief of Staff Once Said Trump Would Be Disqualified From Office in an ‘Ordinary Universe’

And He Supported Him Anyway

Mick Mulvaney, who is about to become the President’s Acting Chief of Staff, just two years ago said Trump would be disqualified from office in an “ordinary universe.” At the time, Mulvaney was a sitting Republican U.S. Congressman.

CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reports Mulvaney’s remarks came one week after the “Access Hollywood” bombshell tape dropped, exposing some of Trump’s most disgusting remarks ever.

Mulvaney, who now says he “believes in” President Trump, had a far different take in October of 2016.

“My guess is worse stuff is going to come out in the last 30 days,” Mulvaney said on a South Carolina radio show. “They’ve got more videotapes. Everything the guy’s ever said is on a videotape or an audio tape. There is going to be some atrocious things that are gonna come out.”

But he also made clear he would still not support the Democratic candidate.

“That’s not going to make Hillary Clinton a good candidate for president,” Mulvaney added.

“Should either of these people be, be a role model for my 16-year-old triplets? No,” Mulvaney told the radio station. “In an ordinary universe, would both of these people’s past activities disqualify them for serving for office? Yes. But that’s not the world we live in today. The world we live in today, it’s either him or her and for me that’s still an easy choice.”

In the interview Mulvaney also compared Hillary Clinton to “a man-eating lion.”

Listen:

Weeks later, in November of 2016, Mulvaney called Trump “a terrible human being,” as The Daily Beast reported.

Mulvaney is the current director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, and will remain in that role as well.

In 2017 Mulvaney infamously claimed Meals on Wheels, the program that puts food in the mouths of home-bound seniors, was “just not showing any results.”
