Having nothing of substance with which to attack the President, Hannity resorted to playing a video of Biden walking spritely up an airplane stairway.

Joe Biden has raised $72 million to this point, but in 2019, Trump raised 105 million at this point.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, rarely does an incumbent president have a primary opponent or debate. And the only Democratic names that have surfaced to date are new age guru, Marianne Williamson, and Steve Bannon&#8217;s meat puppet, RFK Jr. So that&#8217;s a manufactured controversy that Fox News is obsessing over.<\/p>\n<p>Notice that the Foxies aren&#8217;t saying anything about the fact that Trump has been hinting that he may not participate in any Republican primary debates, even though he has at least a dozen challengers, including senators and governors and even his own former VP. And Trump isn&#8217;t an incumbent. He&#8217;s just a straight up coward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57248\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Previews His Excuses for Chickening Out of the Fox News Republican Primary Debate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Biden&#8217;s fundraising totals that Fox News is cavalierly dismissing are twice what Trump has raised. But Fox tries to compare that to what Trump raised three years ago, as if that has some relevance here. The only point that they have succeeded in making is that Trump&#8217;s fundraising has declined 30% since 2019. Nice work Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Republican National Committee joined in the desperation parade of ludicrous Biden complaints. They tweeted a video of Biden boarding his helicopter for a trip to Camp David.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden takes no questions (and fails to salute the Marine) as he retreats to Camp David yet again.<\/p>\n<p>He has spent 355 days \u2014 39.2% of his presidency \u2014 on vacation. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EVtGl89U0C\">pic.twitter.com\/EVtGl89U0C<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1679943816575582209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 14, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The RNC was apparently bothered that, unlike Trump, Biden doesn&#8217;t have a diseased ego that requires him to be in the media 24\/7, and taking questions every time he leaves the White House. The RNC also complained that Biden didn&#8217;t salute the Marine stationed at the helicopter. Of course, presidents are civilians. They have no military rank and are not required or expected to return salutes.<\/p>\n<p>The RNC also brazenly lied about the purpose of Biden&#8217;s trip and his vacation schedule. Camp David is not a summer camp. It is a Navy military facility that is fully equipped to conduct any presidential business. Biden has spent far less time on <em>&#8220;vacation&#8221;<\/em> than Trump, and the few times that he has vacationed, he wasn&#8217;t enriching himself with taxpayer dollars at his own golf resorts.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenzy of farcical fiction by the GOP is off the charts ridiculous. But it isn&#8217;t surprising. They have demonstrated that they couldn&#8217;t care less about the issues that matter to the American people, and they are wholly devoted to advancing asinine assertions that emanate from their sickly psyches. They are frantically ignoring the vast improvements made in the past two years, because they are rooting for America to fail. Their entire mission is to harass Democrats and lie to their cult followers. They have pretty much admitted it explicitly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56328\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New GOP Subcommittee Chair Openly Admits His Only Purpose is to \u2018Make Life Hell\u2019 for Democrats<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsie.social\/@NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is getting harder and harder to be a lying Republican propagandist these days.
