Fox News hosts trade barbs over legality of Trump phone call

The July phone call that has further riven Washington now has two Fox News hosts in open war with each other.

In began Tuesday with Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano declaring to daytime host Shepard Smith that President Trump's acknowledgement that he asked Ukrainian President Zelensky to "look into" alleged corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter amounted to "a crime."

Primetime host Tucker Carlson interviewed on his show that night former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova, who disputed Napolitano's assessment and called him a "fool."

On Wednesday, Smith fired back, calling diGenova a "partisan guest" and describing the criticism of Napolitano as "repugnant."

Carlson had diGenova return to his show Wednesday night.

"Apparently our daytime host, who hosted Judge Napolitano, was watching last night and was outraged by what you said and quite ironically called you partisan,” he told diGenova.

Schlep smiff and antitrump nope-alitano. WTH happened to andy anyway? He didn't get a shot at becoming a SCOTUS justice? Not sure that schlep has ever been conservative. He must have video or else he'd be over at cnn with his 'butty' randy andy. Anyway, despite there being no there, there. The demokkkommies will push forward. Well, when they get back from fall break. Unless it falls deeper in to the cesspool by then.

Smith is a faggot liberal. Anything he says is suspect.

I remember reading “All Quiet on the Western Front”. How the soldiers sat in their bunkers as the artillery rained down. How terrifyingly horrible it must have been to be called back out into the trenches from the relative safety of the bunkers. Now I know first hand what that quiet before the artillery resumes feels like.

I haven’t watched Shemp Smith for years.

Actually the original Shemp of Three Stooges Fame had more gravitas than Smith does.

“partisan guest”

O NO! Not a “partisan guest”!

LOL

Hey, Shep, they ALL are “partisan guests”. That is why they are invited.

Shep better be careful, Tucker is the highest rated host on Fox....

FOX doesn’t care as long as it boosts the overall ratings....

If it doesn’t and Sheps ratings fall, he’ll be moved to weekends and then finally out the door...

President Trump’s acknowledgement that he asked Ukrainian President Zelensky to “look into” alleged corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter amounted to “a crime.”


That one always cracked me up. Of course, I’ve read the transcript and read what he actually said - or at least the closest we’re gonna get to what he actually said.

This whole micro-analysis of what should have been a private phone call is high comedy anyway. The only way this should be news is if Trump actually said what Shiff “quoted” him as saying at the beginning of the hearing yesterday. But he didn’t

Communication is a funny thing. It’s one reason we have the first amendment.

He made a claim that British Intelligence agencies were working with Obama to take down Trump.

He disappeared for a few weeks.

He came back a new man.

an anonymous source has reported that shemp smith & judge nappy are now a couple!

IF TRUE, then it is not surprising at all that shemp is supporting nappy’s opinion.

I don’t understand how Fox News puts on a judge for their legal analysis, who sides with the left most of the time. Not that I watch Fox News anymore.
