The continued listing to starboard of Fox News, which rose to prominence precisely because it cut through the politically correct swamp fog that passed as media news just as Donald Trump sliced through the swamp itself on his way to the White House, was on full display on Fox News Sunday when host Chris Wallace joined Democrats whose latest charge of Trump racism occurred when Trump reminded Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings that conditions in his rat-infested congressional district were worse than conditions in ICE detention centers on our porous southern border with Mexico.
Chris Wallace took the occasion of his interview with White House Chief of Staff Mitch Mulvaney to attack President Trump and his tweets pointing out the Cummings’ and Democrat double standard, As Red State reported:
For those who are unfamiliar with the story, in a series of predawn tweets, Trump wrote:This was all Wallace needed to unload on Mulvaney, who was going to have none of this latest recitation by Wallace of Democrat talking points which ignore the bitter truth of what Trump tweeted:Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous.
His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cummings’ District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.
Finally, he wrote: “Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!
Just as White House senior advisor Stephen Miller did last week on Wallace’s program, Mulvaney refused to allow him to label the President as a racist. Mulvaney not only defended his boss, he managed to offend Wallace. And that was a beautiful thing.No, Chris, President Trump is not saying the people of Baltimore are not human beings and you know it. That they have to live in these conditions is the fault of hypocritical liberal Democrats who’ve run cities like Baltimore for decades, run them into the ground, while they bemoan the fact of well-treated migrants.Wallace said: “This seems, Mick, to be the worst kind of racial stereotyping. Let me finish. Black Congressman, majority black district. [He quotes Trump] ‘No human being would want to live there.’ Is he saying that people who live in Baltimore are not human beings?”
Mulvaney replied:
…The President is attacking Mr. Cummings for saying things that are not true about the border. I think it’s right for the President to raise the issue.
Look, I was in Congress for six years. If I had poverty in my district like they have in Baltimore, if I had crime in my district like they have in Chicago, if I had homelessness in my district like they have in San Francisco, and I spent all of my time in Washington, D.C., chasing down this Mueller investigation, this bizarre impeachment crusade, I’d get fired.
I think the president is right to raise that. It has absolutely zero to do with race.
President Trump commented on the decline of Fox News as an objective source of information, particularly its weekend lineup. As the Washington Examiner reported:
President Trump criticized Fox News' weekend lineup, saying they were loading up with Democrats, making them worse than CNN."Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams," Trump said Sunday on Twitter. "Like CNN, NBC is also way down in the ratings. But @FoxNews, who failed in getting the very BORING Dem debates, is now loading up with Democrats & even using Fake unsourced @nytimes as a 'source' of information."

All of them.
Except Sean Hannity.
“All”
None.
Dear assclown wallace. Please provide the copy of the tweet where PDJT uses the “n” word repeatedly proving he’s a bigoted racist. Waiting patiently.
I consider Chris Wallace a racist but that’s just me. I haven’t culturally appropriated the race card yet.
Saw that interview with Mulvaney, it was sickening.
ALL of them and MORE!!! I watch so little of FOX anymore!
All Mulveny had to say is Trump was standing up for the rights of 10’s of thousands of black people against 1 corrupt black man congressman, who has wasted billions of taxpayer money and nothing to show for it! . So your saying Chris that Trump, the man who has the most historic low unemployment for minorities, has sought rights for minorities in prison and is now saying that no black person or any persons should live in rat , garbage and drug infested communities is a racist because he dares to criticize the 1 corrupt blackman that is supposed to represent them? Sounds like your the real racis Chris!
Paul Ryan is on the exec board.
He’s not one of the four. :)
“All of them”
CORRECT ANSWER! Sadly, none of them will be
My tagline is serious. I don’t go to FOX anymore. It’s OANN now. They are way low-key and not as slick and flashy, but screw FOX. (Except Sean H.... man, if he switched to OANN he could change the dynamics of the entire media industry.)
Haven’t watched FNC since Sean Hannity reconsidered his opposition to open borders after Obama’s election.
All four.
“I consider Chris Wallace a racist but that’s just me. I haven’t culturally appropriated the race card yet.”
Good approach. You have just as much reason to call Wallace a racist as he he has to call Trump a racist.
I hear you. It’s too bad.
Starboard is on the right.
I seldom watch Faux News anymore.
Too left for me.
And Hannity repeats the same things over and over again.
Every single night.
In before a Dem calls Chris Wallace ‘racist’, just for working on Fox News. What will he say then?
Who will defend him then, having burned most of his conservative bridges?
“I wholeheartedly agree, to the average voter, there is an appearance that I too, may be a racist, but ‘nothing can be further from the truth! Appearances can be deceiving! Just how long will it be before we can return to a less balkanized, more dignified manner of discourse between the two parties?”
