Fox’s Mollie Hemingway Calls It ‘Un-American’ For Biden To Pick July 4th As Target For Partial Return To Normal

Posted by Ellen -7841.60pc on March 11, 2021 · Flag

Only on Fox News would a president’s hope for backyard cookouts across the country on Independence Day be grounds for accusing him of being “un-American.” But Fox contributor Mollie Hemingway was up to the smear job.

In case you missed President Joe Biden’s speech, here’s what he said in his address to the nation tonight about his hopes for July 4th:

Because here’s the point: If we do all this, if we do our part, if we do this together, by July the 4th, there’s a good chance you, your families, and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbeque and celebrate Independence Day. That doesn’t mean large events with lots of people together, but it does mean small groups will be able to get together.
 
After this long hard year, that will make this Independence Day something truly special, where we not only mark our independence as a nation, but we begin to mark our independence from this virus. 

Oh, how dare he!

Hemingway, perhaps suffering withdrawal from her condescending lectures to the media about its coverage of Donald Trump, seems to have jumped off the Biden-hating deep end with tonight’s lecture on The Ingraham Angle after Biden’s remarks. She must have felt some relief that she was able to work in a lecture that not enough “gratitude” was shown to Trump. She even wore her customary smirk:

HEMINGWAY: There was no mention of what the previous administration did. The only thing that has really worked in this entire coronavirus pandemic is developing the vaccine and that was something done in the previous administration. There was no gratitude for that. There were these threats that if you didn't do what Joe Biden wanted, he might lock the country down again.

And then to pick Independence Day as the day where he says he might allow people to gather is just so un-American and just – you know, Joe Biden doesn't get to tell me when I can have a barbecue in my backyard and certainly not to tie that to Independence Day. It does feel like we've lost something as a country that so many people are willing to do this type of draconian restrictions from the government for this level of a problem. If they're willing to do it for this situation, for this length of time without enough merit, it's a very bad sign for the days to come.

Of course, Biden did not say you can’t have a barbecue or cookout before then. He was saying he hopes we can all do so with fewer restrictions than last year.

Not surprisingly, Ingraham did not correct the record. She moved on by sneering to the other guest: “If the checks keep coming, keep putting off the reopening.” Then she invited everyone to visit the “open” states of Florida, Texas and North Dakota on July 4th.

Fox is like a hit parade of character defects and long-standing mental health issues. It’s a long line of people who, when faced with life’s difficulties, take the easy way out: blaming others. Then excusing their own wretched behavior by inventing and embracing ways to feel victimized. I always picture them like cartoon characters: red-faced and jumping up and down while holding their hurt little butts in their hands.

They literally have to invent things to be outraged about. FOX is poison.

That should be "sympathy for them.

O/T (sort of). I realised last night that I’ve seen nothing at all about the impact of the pandemic on the insurance companies. Not that I have any sympathy with them but please bear with me.

I’m pretty confident that the ACA is covering covid-related expenses, but wonder if the insurance companies have been/are refusing coverage to the millions of people who lost their health insurance along with their jobs. Nobody seems to be asking that question.

I’m sort of hoping that the insurance companies are being hit hard because that would convince them to support the respect of public health measures like mask-wearing, social-distancing, crowd-avoiding and hand-washing.

I’ve always felt that the laws requiring seat belts, helmets and restrictions on smoking would not have had much of a chance had they not been supported by the insurance companies.

Mollie’s customary smirk goes so well with her customary snark. At this point, she’s beyond parody!

I don’t recall Fox feeling that it was unpatriotic for Trump to hold his military parade on the 4th.

I thought it was refreshing to hear, I need your help, instead of I alone I can fix it.

I watched the first five minutes of Sean’s show to see what the spin was going to be and Sean was having a fit for President Biden not giving Trump any credit. It was predictable but nauseating.

A whole lot of ‘undesirable’ up there.
And now they’re declaring war on Independence Day?

OK, ladies, do a team drive to North Dakota for July 4th and report back on your road trip. Idiots.

Now, …. I call that a truly impressive pretzel.
The foxies are headed off the rails if that’s all they can find to say. Good. They deserve whatever they have wished on others for a couple of decades.
Barring death, of course. Wouldn’t wish that on anybody (even though I may think it sometimes).

Must have been hard to keep the glasses of milk from curdling when these sour witches entered the lunchroom at grade school.
