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.”
Chris is a sh##head jim
I’ve been done with Wallace for a long time. Never watch him.
Exactly, that term is so misused here. Deals always have trade offs, always. Otherwise, what’s the reason for any deals at all?
You give us something because... Because what? Even if Trump implied their aid might be in jeopardy, big deal. I’d bet the farm you could find that kind of thing in every deal a president has ever made on foreign policy. Obama sent pallets of taxpayer cash off in the middle of the night as part of a deal. Now that’s quid pro quo.
All they even have in the transcript is Trump asking for a favor, not demanding one. Big F’n deal.
When Chris Wallace appears on a FOX program, I switch my TV off.
Who needs to listen to foolish Democrat “talking points”?
Nope, there is a treaty, signed by I believe Clinton that REQUIRES either country to examine and explain ANY illegal activity involved......Trump's doing just that.
not know.....
Agree
Wow, Beany and Cecil. I am getting old!
Chris Wallace is the same smirking, snarky liberal sh!t his old man was.
Facts, what facts? Democrats make them up. There’s no due process in the Star Chamber proceeding they’re running.
That Chris Wallace endows it with legitimacy says a lot more about him than it does about Trump.
Thank you.
