Steve Scalise, Republican of Louisiana, Was Not Having Any of Chris Wallace’s Agenda
Lifezette ^ | 11/17/2019 | Staff

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), speaking to Fox News’ Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” refused to let the anchor railroad him or put forward an anti-Trump agenda regarding the ongoing impeachment hearings against the president.

It’s worth reading their fiery exchange word for word to see what went on here — and how Scalise pushed back hard against a certain line of questioning and reasoning to set the record straight.

“David Holmes,” said Wallace, is “the American official in Ukraine who says he overheard a conversation between the president and Gordan Sondland on July 26, the day after President Trump and President Zelensky [of Ukraine] spoke [this past summer]. Holmes told members of Congress in his sworn testimony he asked whether the president cares about Ukraine. He says, “Sondland told him Mr. Trump only cares about big stuff that benefits the president, like the Biden investigation.”

“Doesn’t that contradict the president’s story, sir?” said Wallace. “‘All the president cared about was going after the Bidens.'”

It boggles my mind why anyone would agree to go on this A-Hole's show.

Why couldn’t he go after the Bidens? Democrats are going after Trump,

Chris, why the double standard?

I never could stand that little weasel Wallace. I’ll never forget how pissed I was when Fox hired that prick. I have never watched him.

I think any conservative on the show with Chris Wallace should be required to reach over and slap him firmly about once or twice each minute.

Chris is a weasel.

If it looks like a weasel, acts like a weasel , and talks like a weasel, it's probably a weasel.

Wallace is so clearly NOT interested in uncovering facts and finding out what happened. Wallace is pushing a Narrative. He’s paid to push a Narrative. I’d lay odds that Wallace is on the CIA payroll. Facts mean nothing to him — he’s on a mission to take down the President.

I recommend that people click through and read the entire exchange and watch it (video is at the end). Scalise destroyed Chris Wallace, and Wallace tried as hard as he could to smear the President.

“I never could stand that little weasel Wallace. I’ll never forget how pissed I was when Fox hired that prick.”

Weasel is right. He really likes to blindside his guests with his cute little gotcha questions, and then cut them off when they try to untwist the loaded questions he fired at them.

Not surprised that Rep. Scalise stomped all over little Chrissy. That said, I gave up watching that panty-waist years ago. Him, Shep, Cavuto, etc...mainly watch Lou Dobbs and Trish Regan. Occasionally, Hannity, and Ingraham.

My response to him would be “Chris, have you seen the tape of Biden describing the quid pro quo that he used to ensure the prosecutor investigating his son was fired? Assuming you have, doesn't an American President have the responsibility to ensure that that type of behavior is investigated? Trump didn't ask the Ukraine to reach a specific conclusion. He just wanted them to investigate wrong doing and come to their own conclusions. Aren't you being hypocritical here?

He really is - I think he’s gotten more virulent the longer Trump hangs in there against the swamp/DS.

Scalise was shot by a Democrat while playing baseball. It’s funny that LW newscasters are still attacking him.

Scalise is a little too nice in this hatchet job by Wallace, imo.

Wallace is auditioning for a new job and new network when his present contract runs out.
