Fox News’ Chris Wallace just shocked viewers by going on an anti-Trump rant.
This past week, House Republicans stormed a closed-door impeachment hearing with complaints about a lack of transparency. It was these same Republicans that Wallace went after during an appearance he made on “America’s Newsroom” on Friday.
There, host Sandra Smith had Wallace listen to a video clip in which White House adviser Kellyanne Conway asked, “Where’s the process?”
“My feeling is that if you are having trouble with the facts, you argue process,” responded Wallace, who seems all too ready to take the Democrats’ side. “That’s what Republicans are doing right now.”
The implication, of course, is that the facts are against President Donald Trump, that they seem to indicate that Trump is guilty of a quid pro quo between himself and Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelensky. This being the case, Wallace argues, all Republicans can do is try to get the inquiry thrown out by arguing that the process is unfair.
Before viewers get the idea that Wallace has a personal ax to grind, he cited the supposedly damning evidence that the Democrats have against Trump.
“The Democrats have gotten some very damaging information from people like William Taylor, the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine; Fiona Hill, who used to be one of the top advisers of the National Security Council on Ukraine,” he said, “evidence that seems to tie more of a quid pro quo, that there is some evidence from these people working in the Trump administration that the president linked aid to Ukraine, a White House meeting with Ukrainian president, to getting research on the Democrats.”
Wallace then likened the impeachment inquiry to the Benghazi hearings.
“In the Benghazi investigation, there were private hearings and then there were public hearings,” he said. “That’s what’s going to happen here.”
“I just think that in the end after we have these little must-see TV hearings with these key witnesses in public in November,” Wallace continued, “I’m not sure people are going to care a lot about what the process was in October.”
They are and talking about it. But the media ignores it like everything else. Chris Wallace, a man who tries to substitute smugness for intelligence, is even smart enough to know that full well.
Yet, when confronted by anyone who points that out to him, he comes out with a cliche like “problem with facts argue process” or his usual smirk with a dismissive “I don’t know about that.”
Arrogance from an empty suit. I wonder if he actually even needs those glasses or is that his magic talisman like George Will’s bow tie?
It’s very telling that Wallace has no problem with “process”.
If the facts are on Trump’s side, we can’t prove it because the PROCESS won’t let us give our side of the story. He is stupid to think we won’t argue the facts—we can’t!
“All negotiations consist of quid pro quo.” Congress does it constantly.
And even if they didn’t, I WANT my president to get something valuable back for foreign aid etc. I thought all Presidents did it - except for obummer of course - just one more way they let us down, isn’t it?
Earth to Schiff etal - ‘quid pro quo’ is a feature not a bug!
It’s obvious to me that exposing and prosecuting the “deep state” is going to affect Chris Wallace negatively.
When Wallace can stop
Pissing on his legs And produce any evidence pdjt has done anything wrong —I’ll listen to him. Even that proverbial jaywalking ticket Until then, he can go jump in a lake
Wallace’s idea of facts presented by House Dims are illegally leaked Dim spin.
I’m having a hard time with them trying to impeach our President because they have the idea if they don’t like our pick, they can remove him and put theirs in. SINCE WHEN??? UNDER WHAT RULES, LAWS?? Who told them they could do that?
Crimes? Trump has done NONE. Anti American? he’s the most patriot American around. There are no reasons... they’re lying and lying and making up things. they have the radio and TV to broadcast their lies.. but they can’t impeach Trump on grounds they don’t like him. , or on grounds they made up.. can’t be done! Not in free United States.
How did the dems get the idea they could just set him up for a crime he never committed .. and get him removed. In the United States, they thought they could do this???
NO!!!
The dims have done what they wanted for years.. and the GOP let them. Today we have President Donald J Trump!!! Different story, hey Dims?!
Did you think wallace was turning that criminal investigation that came out Friday.. to mean it was after Trump??? and not the ones who were after him?
Hissy Chrisy #1: Chris Matthews
Hissy Chrisy #2: Chris Wallace
Both vying for whiner of the year award.
Second that!!!!!!!!!
Chris Wallace just has problems with facts!
Fact - your old man was a game show host not a journalist
Fact - Chris wouldn’t have a job without his old man!
Wallace doesn’t understand a damn thing,. He just thinks he does.
Nice Democrat talking point, Wallace. Did you get this from Congresswoman Val Demmings? The ex-Sheriff who is so irresponsible that she had a gun stolen out of her car? Did she argue facts or process?
Actually, I think if you are having trouble with LIES, you argue process. The lies are being leaked. The truth is nowhere to be found.
Chris Wallace hates that Trump blames Hunter Biden with rising on his father’s coattails. I wonder why Mike Wallace’s son would resent that statement.
Needs to be fired today. As long as this Democrat PR whore is kept on by Fox, they are just as much part of the Clown Media as CNN or MSNBC
Hey Chris, go sit and watch your loser Nats. You make a good team.
Just doing his bosses bidding turning FNC into a leftist channel. Chris is so beyond his use by date.
Name one crime you could impeach him on Chris. What a buffoon.
