Manchin Smacks Down Harris Faulkner: Scared We’ll Do Something Good For Our Country?

Sen. Joe Manchin – yes, that Joe Manchin – was a joy to behold with Fox News mouthpiece Harris Faulkner today.

Faulkner claims to be a journalist but she long ago gave up any journalistic chops she may have once had. She now devotes herself to promoting Fox News orthodoxy.

In their interview, Faulkner repeatedly tried – and failed – to push Manchin into saying he will not support President Joe Biden in 2024. She also repeatedly tried – and failed – to tear down the Inflation Reduction Act that Manchin negotiated with Sen. Chuck Schumer. She also tried – and failed – to paint Manchin as a captive of the far left.

Watch the highlights below, from the August 2, 2022 The Faulkner Focus. You may not like Manchin any more but I’ll bet your respect for him grows.

So happy to hear Manchin say “That’s a lie. A pure outright lie.” Would like to hear more Dems use those words.

Re: Michael Thompson’s comment: Fox already has female version of Sean Hannity named Laura Ingraham who, just like Hannity, loudly proclaims herself a “Christian.”

I take my proverbial hat off to you, Mister Manchin. Most of the time you really piss me off, but just occasionally, you surprise us all by doing the right thing. I still devoutly wish (and expect!) there will be at least four or five additional Democratic Senators after November, though.

Great news so far in Kansas. Giant turnout and significant majority against changing their constitution as things stand. It will shrink as the on-the-day votes come in, but the forces of goodness and light should prevail!

Harris sees her path to the top at Fox as being the female version of Sean Hannity. Vicious, hateful, lying, arrogant, Trump worshipping, PHONY PATRIOT. She’s good at it.
