Fox News Host's Wild Michelle Obama Claim Gets Immediately Shut Down [HuffPo sneers at Rachel Campos-Duffy]
Huffington Post ^ | 5/29/2023 | Lee Moran

Fox News personality Rachel Campos-Duffy received an immediate fact check after making an outlandish prediction about former first lady Michelle Obama.

On Friday’s episode of “The Five,” Campos-Duffy claimed Obama will run in the 2024 presidential election to take on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

“Well, I’ve been saying for a long time, I think that Biden’s not gonna make it to the end and that Michelle Obama will be brought in,” said Campos-Duffy, who was on MTV’s “Real World” before her Fox News gig.

“After all, the Obamas are pretty much running this administration,” she added, pushing the right-wing claim that President Joe Biden is not really in control.

Co-host Jessica Tarlov immediately dismissed Campos-Duffy’s suggestion about seeing Obama on the Democratic ticket, though.

“Michelle Obama is not running for anything,” Tarlov pointed out in a video shared online by Mediaite.

“Just wait, just wait,” responded Campos-Duffy.

By getting that much immediate flak, someone must be over the target.

A lot of conservatives seem to think Michelle Obama is just like HHillary. It’s not true.

If Mooch (he/him) ran, that would mean that assurances were given that the election will, once again, be fixed. This particular tranny is too lazy to put in the real work in any legit campaign.

Missouri law requires an original birth certificate be presented to SOS before the candidate goes on the ballot. (This law was a response to the pseudo COLB that BHO presented.) “She” would have to acknowledge “her” birth as a male to get on the ballot, unless the SCOTUS would strike down that law. Pretty high barrier to running.

“pushing the right-wing claim that President Joe Biden is not really in control.”

Xiden ain’t even in control of his own bowel movements, much less the country.

How can such a “prediction” be “fact checked”?

Good point - who’s fact checking the future? Must be a very rich person if they can do that.

As was earlier today theorized, would Newsome appointing her to early-retiring Diane Feinstein’s California senate seat give her the bonafides to run for president against President Trump? Would she first have to establish residence in CA as Hilary did in NY State?

I hope not, but you win cleverest reference of the day. If he/she/it does run, it would be glorious if Trump’s campaign slogan was, “Don’t let the Wookie win.” I know, but I can dream at least.
