However, on this particular occasion, no one could have anticipated the magnitude of the foul-up that was about to ensue. It went a little something like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Faulkner:<\/strong> This just happened now and I want to double check this with our producers. The DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has resigned, Mr. President.<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> I&#8217;m not surprised. Good.

Which might be the perfect description of Faulkner&#8217;s work as a <em>&#8220;journalist.&#8221;<\/em> It is truly mind-boggling how she could have paused her show to get breaking news from her producers, but screwed it up so atrociously. And then, after being forced to make an embarrassing apology (rarely seen on Fox News), her attempt to recover included an insulting characterization of the man she just falsely dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, prior to being appointed by President Biden to be Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas had decades of public service in the Justice Department, Immigration Services, and as a deputy secretary at DHS. That&#8217;s the man that Trump and Fox News regard as <em>&#8220;incompetent.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Throughout this interview, Faulkner gave Trump opportunities to rant in his customary incoherent fashion. He played all his <em>&#8220;greatest hits,&#8221;<\/em> including his <em>Big Lie<\/em> that <em>&#8220;We won the election as far as I&#8217;m concerned.&#8221;<\/em> Then he leapt into this smorgasbord of babble:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When China looks at &#8216;woke&#8217; and see the biggest problem we have is Dr. Seuss.
