Martin O’Malley Back On Fox & Friends For More Spunky Debate – This Time About Those G****mn Emails

Posted by Ellen -7843.60pc on October 31, 2016 · Flag

Last weekend, Democrat Martin O’Malley left the three Fox & Friends hosts sputtering with his shredding of Donald Trump. Yesterday, host Tucker Carlson went one-on-one with O'Malley over the FBI reviewing new emails regarding Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin.

O’Malley was not quite as magnificent as he was last week but he was a bit boxed in by the topic this time. However, he still pulled off some great moves that more Democrats and liberals on Fox should employ. For example, after briefly answering a question about the emails, O’Malley pivoted to go on offense against Trump:

O’MALLEY: I just heard Mr. Trump [in a clip played beforehand] talk about the greatest scandal since Watergate. The greatest scandal since Watergate is Donald Trump’s Russian allies breaking into the Democratic Party’s headquarters.

Of course, Carlson interrupted. “I’ve heard this talking point before,” he said.

Later, after O’Malley answered a question about Attorney General Loretta Lynch chatting privately with Bill Clinton a while back, O’Malley struck again.

CARLSON: If it’s not corruption, it gives the appearance of corruption. And everyone’s full of principle now and standing on it but where were you then? I mean, that was an appalling – appalling moment. No?

O’MALLEY: Look, in a campaign and in politics, there’s all sorts of things that give rise to perceptions. We’re all concerned about perceptions. I’m very concerned about the fact that Donald Trump from get-go and even in the debate said that if he were to win this election, he would jail his opponent. That’s some tinhorn dictator stuff, the likes of which we’re not accustomed to seeing in our country’s election. I think more appalling is that they, that the Republicans would nominate this fringe, third-party fascist candidate who is facing, himself, 12 complaints – 12 complaints, 12 complaints by women for sexual assault!

Carlson interrupted to complain, “There you are with the name calling. Come on. Look, we have adult viewers on this show who want adult answers, so maybe you could provide one."

I guess when Carlson called Colin Kaepernick “that idiot football player,” that didn’t count. Or maybe it was just part of what Carlson calls “adult” discussion.

Things got a bit heated after that. O’Malley demanded to know if complaints of Trump’s sexual assault “doesn’t concern you, Tucker?”

Unfortunately, O’Malley was not able to take control of the discussion as well as he did the previous time but he still did pretty darned well.

Watch him below, from the October 30, 2016 Fox & Friends.

@antoinette: Tucky was never the brightest light at this network. The suits should never allow a kid to host a show.

I agree – not the brightest but Lil Tuck IS one of the snarkiest, most juvenile yakkers on FOX “news”.

Yeah, the suits shouldn’t allow him to be a host because of his childish demeanor but I’ve always been more concerned about the suits allowing a guy who founded and is the main editor-in-chief of a right-wing website (despite his claims that The Daily Caller “won’t be a right-wing site”) to host a show.

Here’s a recent example of how Lil Tuck allows his website to cover the issues…

Tucker “With an F” spends most of his time on-air calling people names. When he admonished O’Malley for name-calling I laughed out loud.

With all my love,
Aunty Headly

Tucky should talk to his colleague, Judge Jeanny who defended Clinton against Comey.

Tucky was never the brightest light at this network. The suits should never allow a kid to host a show.

He’s a beauty – my pick for 2024, at least VP spot.

Clueless Comey said he tries to be transparent. Instead, he has transformed the FBI into a partisan political machine with a clear bias. J Edgar is smiling in his grave…..tastefully outfitted in a blue cocktail dress with a single strand of pearls.

Tucker Carlson is such a wanna-be.

They called Martin O’Malley back!! Good for Martin. Maybe Faux is looking for some fireworks and not the usual Faux circle jerk. Faux is worried that Clinton emails have a very short shelf life. Even now they are getting crusty. Why?? Because Faux has beaten this dead horse so much that there no longer is a dead horse.
