This is what Beckel does when he doesn’t have any other ammunition to shoot with. He goes on an emotional rant, and smears the subject of his attack about how unjust that person is for telling the truth. It’s a diversional trick of his that he uses often. When in doubt, use an emotional outburst, do it loudly to shout down any opposition to his comments, and be irrational about whatever the subject matter is. Divert attention from the contents of the AD by attacking its author.
The rest of The Five need to attack Beckel back, point out what he is doing and why, rather than try to defend the subject of Beckel’s smear. Show the public what Beckel is really doing, the sleight of hand, the method of refutation he is using, so that everyone knows what Beckel is really up to which is diverting attention from the contents of the AD into an attack on its author, and hoping that by sliming the author, he makes the AD itself unbelievable or one that shouldn’t even be watched. Because if it is watched without any emotional spin layered on it, the truth comes shining through to any rational person. Greg Gutfeld of The Five is the only one who seems to poke holes in what Beckel is up to. The others are either wishy washy, or just aren’t capable of using good debate skills.
You are correct . Beckle uses this same line at least 3 times a week to feign outrage ( and does it loudly ) . This is really not news .
