Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich lambasted his Democratic Party as an unethical organization that collectively bolstered a "coma" patient over other contenders in order to advance their own political ends, and that they feature a "Hall of Fame for Liars" headlined by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
Asked by Fox News’ Jesse Watters about his response to characterizations that Democrats preferred to cover-up former President Joe Biden’s infirmities rather than move on from him or accept President Donald Trump, Blagojevich said, "I’d say that guy hates the American people and hates his constituents and hates even Democratic voters."
"Shouldn't we all wish good things for our country? Isn't it right to hope that a president, even the one from the other party, can succeed to do good things for his country and good things for people?"
Blagojevich said that proves Democrats "don’t care about America," and quoted Tennessee Williams’ line that "the only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite."
"If they have any sense of patriotism… they ought to try to … atone for their sins…"
Blagojevich said Democrats could have used the 25th Amendment to oust Biden and keep a Democrat in the White House; then-Vice President Kamala Harris; but instead believed, "maybe we’re better off with a brain-dead Biden as president than her."
"They'd rather have a comatose Biden than Kamala Harris," Watters quipped in return.
Blagojevich added that by contrast, Trump has been lied about in regard to Russian collusion and the Stormy Daniels affair, and that it should be Democrats considered the bigger mistruth-tellers.
"Nobody who has any common sense could believe anything they say," he said.

I like Blago...he talks a lot but he speaks with logic and common sense.
He took over Rostenkowski’s old district and learned that in those old ethnic districts in Chicago, it’s all about the jobs and the Washington pork. And stay away from that weird hippy shit.
He’s an old school big city Democrat riding the graft train.
If Richard Daley were alive today, he’d be MAGA.
He was a pretty loyal party guy. I bet a lot of his earlier supporters are though.
I see the word late, so I missed you meant the dad. I don’t know, he hated Republicans. Trouble is all those old Chicago guys spread into the suburbs and their votes got diluted.
