Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume told "The Story" Wednesday night that America is more divided right now than at any point in his life, adding that even the period of strife in the late 1960s over the Vietnam War "wasn't as bad as this."
"This is as bad as it's ever gotten [except] perhaps [during] the Civil War," Hume told host Martha MacCallum. "So the challenge for leaders at a time like this is [to] attempt to tamp us down, how we find places to agree, because this is poisonous to our country."
Hume credited President Trump for making a video statement Wednesday evening in which the president said he "unequivocally" condemned last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol. However, the analyst wondered whether the message had come too late.
He added that, while Trump bears responsibility for spreading false claims about election irregularities, President-elect Joe Biden didn't help the situation by suggesting last week that police treated the rioters lightly because the crowd was mostly White.
"There are a lot of people in this country who believe that we are a nation of systemic racism," Hume said. "But there are a great many who believe we are not. It's a point of deep division in this country, so why he [Biden] would choose on that occasion to feed that is a good question.
"He has the job now of trying to unify things. One way you could do it is if you could call off the impeachment dogs, but it may be too late for that."

note how they ignore their massive role in it
Said it many times for 20 years on FR..we CANNOT co-exist with leftards.
For the country to move forward, one side has to “go”.
For people who are so confident that no election fraud occurred they sure do act like they have something to hide.
Buy-DUNG sprayed methane aka manure onto the fire.
Leftists were bombing buildings in the 60s and setting fire to federal buildings. Thousands of bombings in the 70s.
Obama’s pal bombed the Pentagon
Britt needs to change his soiled pantirs
See, here's the problem, Brit.
On our side, we have EVIDENCE.
But your side simply states that our claims are false. No evidence, and ignores the evidence we have.
That's where the divide is coming from.
And Brit and Fox are one reason why this divide is so bad- they played right into the hands of the hateful left- by their constant TDS and their election night shenanigans.
D stands for Demon.
I can’t be friends with the Devil.
The same communists who fought against America in the 60s went on to run the Democrat Party.
Hence the “divide.”
Right. More divided.
If only we could hsve had a few more impeachments (10 or 12 would have been nice) and a solid 80-20 conviction in the Senate and the nation would have been healed overnight.
Am I reading your mind Britidiot?
yup
Being divided tells us nothing. One side loves America and always has. It is Christian, industrious, and productive.
The other side hates everything about traditional America. It’s atheist, perverted, lazy and parasitic, and violent.
We should be divided from such animals.
[[He added that, while Trump bears responsibility for spreading false claims about election irregularities,]]
Go away Liar! YOU and ilk are why this election was stolen from us in broad daylight! You and your ilk handed this election to a party that cheated their way into office and you know that damn well!
I’d recommend a read of ‘Field of Blood’ by Joanne Freeman, which goes into reviewing the 1840s/1850s and the path to Civil War.
She brings up at one point that everything accelerated toward the war once journalists got hyped up and dedicated weekly newspaper editions to the conflict in DC. Once the telegraph came into play....this intensity doubled. You can refer to fake news and hyped-up agendas....but the path of today is simply copied from the 1850s.
Yes. And thereby hangs the problem. Denial in the face of overwhelming evidence. The tooth fairy delivered 100,000+ ballots at 4AM to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin
Humeidiot needs to go away and retire. He is worse than Captain Obvious.
agreed..it was way worse in the late 60’s ..early 70’s....soldiers with fixed bayonets guarding the pentagon...buses ringing the White House...political assassinations...
Ditto!
