On MSNBC’s AM Joy, guest Fernand Amandi made outlandish claims against the Republican party, accusing the GOP of being a “domestic terror group” which should be locked up.
As Newsbusters journalist Brad Wilmouth reported, the comments came after host Joy Reid asked Mr. Amandi a routine question.
"We know that Florida has a large abundance of people who are on CHIP. In a state like that, can the members of Congress from Florida afford not to renew CHIP? And why haven't they pushed for it?”, asked Reid. CHIP stands for the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Amandi's response included typical Democrat talking points, accusing the GOP of being pro-Putin and anti-children.
“It's an excellent question, Joy, You know, Florida and many other states would be decimated -- Florida's children, other children. And I think it leads to the question: Is it any surprise that the party that is pro-pay-for-play, pro-Putin, and now with Roy Moore, pro-pedophilia, the fact that they're anti-children, is that any surprise? I don't think it is. And I think, Joy, this is emblematic -- this CHIP scenario where you mentioned nine million children -- children -- without health insurance.”
He then, without the slightest hint of exaggeration, offered a peculiar solution for the policy disagreement between the GOP and Democratic party.
“I think if you take a step back, one has to ask themselves -- and I think the American people should ask themselves the broader question: What has the Republican in the last 10 years done to help the American people? What have they done? This is not a political party -- this is a domestic terror group. And I think what the American people should consider when they ask themselves that question -- with a party that has done nothing to help the American people -- is to vote them out and consider possibly afterwards locking them up, Joy.”
Nobody on the panel, including the Republican guest, challenged Amandi’s claims
“You know, I'm going to go to Katon that. I'm sure Katon has thoughts on that. Katon, I know you're not a fan of the Affordable Care Act, but can the part really, you know, get away with the idea of not renewing this program? It's nine million kids," Reid said, shifting the conversation Katon Dawson, former chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, did not address the statement. He only said the GOP will probably find a way to make the legislation work.
“I would predict to you that the party or the politicians will find a away to make this palatable and affordable. And the already have addressed it in the House. It's pretty tough to leave nine million children behind, and that won't happen."
Amandi's comments are not alarming. There is no need to panic. They are more stupid than anything. But, his comments are another reminder that the left routinely attempts to paint Conservatives as far right and as whacked out as possible.
What the heck did you just need an additional challenge? Respect!!!
That's the liberal's fondest dream: induce their neighbors to commit suicide.
He gives the GOP way too much credit, they couldn’t carry water for a bunch of terrorists, they have a hissy just deciding where to go for lunch.
Citing “cost-cutting measures,” Miami talk-radio station WIOD-AM has dropped from its lineup local host Fernand Amandi, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, Amandi said late Tuesday.
Amandi, a Democratic pollster with the firm Bendixen & Amandi, was the most liberal host on WIOD’s lineup, which includes nationally syndicated shows by conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Amandi, who hosted weekly roundtables with local reporters, including from the Miami Herald, opened his phone lines to callers to discuss national, state and local politics, a rarity in English-language radio. In contrast, the call-in format dominates local talk radio in Spanish.
Yep, as disgusting as this is to read, it makes it pretty clear that you’re a damn fool if you ever give up your guns. And hopefully the rest of the gun owners in this country will see that also.
Does anyone have any doubt that this fascist pig would like to see us all on cattle cars on the way to the gas chambers? I certainly don’t.
Retire Marine, I love a challenge.
Retire Marine, I love a challenge.
Well, if I’m gonna be called a domestic terrorist, I might as well start acting like one. Fernand Armandi, he’s out of Miami, right?
Pic said YouTube was source but it has MSNBC logo, so.....dunno, maybe it has to go.
Projection...calling others what you are or would like to be yourself.
And I call MSNBC a Communist Radical Organ who would sell out America for money—to but in a Communist world organization—where they would be the commasars !
