Monday on FNC’s “Special Report,” long-time network personality Brit Hume predicted Democrats would be answering for the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s health issues for a “generation.” Hume argued that those in Biden’s inner circle were aware of Biden’s problems. “I mean, do you think impacts politically are real?” host Bret Baier asked. “Yes, I think they’re very real,” Hume replied. “And I think, you know, a lot of Democrats have a lot to answer for because they were trying to cover up something that, as I said before, trying to hide something that was unhidable. So, you...

Tuesday, following President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, Fox News Channel analyst Brit Hume offered his feedback on the President’s remarks. Hume acknowledged the partisan aspects of the address but called it “the most effective” of his 50 years of covering speeches in that setting. “This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan speech I’ve ever heard a president give in this kind of setting,” Hume declared. “And I go back about maybe 50 years on this. I also think it may have been the most effective. I mean, if you ever doubted that...

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” that Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) made a mistake with his comments about childless cat ladies. Host Bret Baier said, “What do you make of this? Obviously the media is covering this honeymoon already of the Kamala Harris nomination before it happens but the Vance stuff is he clearly under attack.” Hume said, “It reminds me of 2008 when John McCain to the surprise of many chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate. She got off to what and to be a great start. She...

Brit Hume says former President Trump is 'beatable', VP Harris 'has assets' in 2024 presidential bid.

Fox News analyst Brit Hume questioned former President Trump’s pick of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) to be his vice presidential candidate, pointing to Vance’s past harsh criticisms of Trump. Hume posited that voters may come to question how Vance became the candidate over other top picks. “You think, well, is this person, how did he get the job? Did he get it because he was really the best qualified to be president?” Hume said. “Or did he get it because he sucked up effectively to the nominee? People will have questions about that.” Vance was a fierce critic of Trump...

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” that he believed voters can see President Joe Biden is “senile.” Anchor Bret Baier said, “You wonder how the State of the Union is going to set up on the issue of Israel, for example.” Hume said, “Exactly right. He came out strong and basically stuck to his guns in terms of continuing the shipments to help Israel and so on. Rhetorically, he has moved away from Israel.”

Fox News analyst Brit Hume said Monday that former President Trump’s defense for keeping classified documents was borderline “incoherent.” “His answers on the matter of the law seem to verge on incoherent,” Hume said after a portion of Trump’s interview with Fox anchor Bret Baier aired on the network. “He seemed to be saying the documents were really his and he didn’t give them back when he was requested to do so, and when they were subpoenaed because he wasn’t ready to because he hadn’t sorted them or whatever from his golf shirts,” Hume said. “It was not altogether clear...

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said Wednesday on FNC’s “Special Report” that House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is making too many television appearances “hyping” his investigations into President Joe Biden. Hume said, “If these House investigators want to proceed judiciously, they might want to think about Mr. Comer. And it might be a good idea for him to get off television awhile, delve into the material here, and when he finds something, maybe tell us about it then. So far what he’s doing basically is hyping these investigations. He runs the risk of appearing to...

I just turned on Fox News. Brett Baier and Brit Hume, I think, did not cover the Arizona election controversy. Please correct me if I am wrong. Brett Baier is the sleazy Fox Reporter who ambushed Kari Lake in a very unfair hit piece interview. Brit Hume is a establishment guy.

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said Monday on FNC’s “Special Report” that former President Donald Trump was losing his influence on the Republican Party. When asked about Trump losing his grip on the GOP, Hume said, “Well, I have thought for some time – and there’s polling on this that reflects this – that while he maintains real influence within the Republican Party, no two ways about that, but it has begun to fade. It started fading, really, I think, after his antics post-election in 2020, that a great many people with him perhaps up until then began...

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said Monday on FNC’s “Special Report” that many Republicans would be privately very happy if the House Select Committee, which is investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, damages Donald Trump to the point he can’t be the presidential nominee in 2024. Anchor Bret Baier asked, “I guess the question still is, are they moving towards trying to make a legal case against Donald Trump, or one that is a political case to somehow prevent him from being a factor in 2024?” Hume said, “Well, I think they’re doing both. Jamie Raskin, one...

35 Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said Wednesday on FNC’s “Special Report” that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is using a “publicity stunt” by bussing migrants to Washington, DC. Abbott sent busses chartered by the Texas Department of Emergency Management, carrying South and Central American migrants to the Capitol Hill office building, which houses the Washington, DC bureaus of NBC News, C-SPAN and Fox News.

Biden’s mask choices do seem sort of … weird. And convenient. And political. Sharyl Attkisson was good enough to do her ‘reporterly’ duties and point out Biden’s strange behavior with the mask: President Biden is wearing a mask outside. He walks up to press corps, takes down the mask, and talks to them. Please explain the purpose of the mask. 😶 — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) October 2, 2021 She even said please. Of course, they won’t answer her because they don’t really know why the old guy does and doesn’t wear it. Like Brit Hume said: No one can, least...

The University of Edinburgh in Scotland announced that it would rename a university building after George Floyd on Thursday. The Hume Tower was previously named after Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume, who is thought of as a notable classical liberal political philosopher. The Hume Tower will now be known as 40 George Floyd. The prestigious university, located in Scotland’s capital city, explained in a statement that the renaming was taking place because “of the sensitivities around asking students to use a building named after the 18th century philosopher whose comments on matters of race, though not uncommon at the time,...

President Trump retweeted this clip a few hours ago ……..______ Brit Hume Goes Off ..... Brit Hume: “It was the worst journalistic fiasco I’ve seen in 50 some years in journalism. It was a disaster.” VIDEO -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeK0YU3f-sI&feature=youtu.be

Very informative thread. Explains why NY's Covid 19 fatality numbers are inflated. They don't distinguish between those who die with the disease and those who die from it.

........... But in the fact-challenged world of the coronavirus COVID-19, there are still actual facts out there, and Fox News analyst hit a homer with a single post on Twitter. “As the number of cases has expanded, the mortality rate has declined. It will likely decline even further if and when those without symptoms can be diagnosed and counted,” Hume tweeted. He included a tweet from another Twitter user that laid out the death rate in the U.S. from COVID-19. 4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases) 3.69% March 9 (26 of 704) 3.01% March 10 (30 of 994)...

Fox News’ Brit Hume on Tuesday made a big mistake when he shared a screenshot from his iPad without first closing all the other browser tabs he had opened. In a tweet posted early in the morning, Hume posted a screenshot of an election betting odds website that showed former Vice President Joe Biden overtaking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination. However, the screenshot revealed Hume had five other tabs open — and one of them was for “sexy vixen vinyl.” Hume’s mistakenly open tab didn’t go unnoticed by his followers, who proceeded to...

Brit Hume said Democrats are moving away from Russian collusion and are trying to "figure out" how to get Trump on obstruction of justice. "The search is on for something else really," Hume said on Monday's edition of 'Special Report' on FOX News. "They may try to figure out some kind of obstruction of justice charge but it appears they are moving away from collusion." "There's only so much oxygen in the atmosphere at any given moment in politics," Hume said. And the Democrats are going to be sucking it all up with an endless round of investigations and these...

One thing that that has puzzled a lot of people since the selection of Pope Francis two years ago is how a left-leaning Pope could succeed two very serious conservative Popes—John Paul II and Benedict XVI—who you would have thought had stacked the ranks of the Cardinals with clergy that would perpetuate their theological and philosophical outlook. Was Benedict hounded out of office by some kind of internal Vatican scandal perhaps? Was there some ecclesiastical version of a coup?There’s no evidence that I’m aware of—until now. Three days ago the National Catholic Register ran a very curious article about...
