Brit Hume: American divide worse than during Vietnam War, 'bad as it's ever gotten' except perhaps during Civil War
Fox News ^ | Published 3 hours ago | Charles Creitz

Posted on 01/13/2021 9:31:17 PM PST by conservative98

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."

There has been no adequate Election Fraud examination for decades.

The GOPee is totally guilty of accommodating fraud and needs to be exterminated.

We’re done. It’s over for them

“He has the job now of trying to unify things.”

Since when does anyone in his right mind want to “unify” with the Satanic Deep State Cabal?

Since when do We The People want to unify with these frauds, liars, cheaters, and criminals?

It’s akin to asking Saint Michael the Archangel to “unify” with Satan.

Go back to hell and stay there, Satanic Deep State creeps. This way, We The People can unify from the death and destruction your types have wrought upon us.

Nor should you be expected to be.

Eliot Ness didn’t “unify” with Al Capone.

We The People will not “unify” with the Satanic Deep State.

Yet Hume does the exact thing he is lamenting about Biden when he editorializes voter fraud. You aren’t going to win anyone over by simply repeating the claim that voter fraud did not occur. Let’s see the facts, how did every anomaly and abnormality benefit Biden? Refusing to present indisputable evidence just feeds the doubt.

Biden ran his campaign on dividing people. His stated policies are designed to create racial tensions. Why on earth would he want to change course and actually try to unite the country?

There was really nothing like the Civil War. This doesn’t come close. We are all still comfy and drinking Starbucks (etc) every day.

We aren’t eating hardtack and picking lice out of our hair and lying in stacks in the “bloody lanes” and “the bloody angle” and the “hayfield.”

The loudest sound ever heard in the Western Hemisphere until that time was the cannonfire at Gettysburg. . .

Good job. As soon as he spouts off about the nonsense that the election was not fair, I change the channel.

Exactly who would that be, Brit, because every one of our so-called leaders with the exception of Presdient Trump only inflames matters further. I have no doubt that when Biden is fraudulently sworn in next Wednesday that his speech will be anything but a unity speech, but rather full of promises to crack down on guns, reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine to curb violent speech on the airwaves, and go after those who push anti-science views about masks and climate change.

what was done to Donald Trump before, during and no doubt after his presidency, is a scandal of gigantic proportions.

plenty of blame to go around - FakeNewsMSM, both political parties, Deep State etc.

not investigating the 2020 election fraud ensures there will not be unity any time soon.

shame.

Hume states that the claims were “false!”
Give me a break. He is setting a false narrative in his statement. Our President was telling the truth. The 2020 Election was a mockery of THE CORE of our institution of government.
Unfortunately, Britt Hume is not the man he once was!

Liz Cheney, Sasse, Toomey and many others rode the Tea Party wave into office. Either the Swamp rotted their brains, or they were two-faced b@$t@rds to begin with and fooled their grassroots supporters.

Ditto with the Newt Wave of 1994. John Kasich is the worst example of a corrupt POS.

History does repeat itself.
