Leave it to Fox News to grotesquely exploit any and every opportunity to malign President Biden, Democrats, and the foundational principles of fairness and decency that the majority of Americans cherish. Those principles are anathema to the MAGA cult, and Fox News is always ready to pacify their animosity.<\/p>\n

Last week a drone attack on an American military installation in Jordan took the lives of three soldiers stationed there. It was a brutal and unprovoked assault that the Iranian backers of the perpetrators will soon regret. Unfortunately, here at home Fox News is taking their “Blame America First”<\/em> position that they have taken many times before in similar circumstances. It’s a position that they have adopted from their Dear Leader, Donald Trump…<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, Fox’s Senior Trump-fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, interviewed MAGA Republican Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX). Their predictably prejudiced political punditry was rife with disparagement of President Biden. Pfluger attributed responsibility for the attack on what he falsely claimed was Biden’s “weakness.”<\/em> Never mind that it is Republicans and Fox News who have been purposefully telegraphing a false message of American weakness to our enemies, in effect encouraging them them to launch attacks. But even worse was their attack on the deceased heroes that they were pretending to care about.<\/p>\n

Pfluger:<\/strong> It\u2019s the weakness that invites that aggression.
\nBartiromo:<\/strong> Well, maybe they\u2019re focused too much on DEI. There\u2019s a concern at the FBI because they\u2019re dropping the FBI special agent requirements in the name of DEI. I\u2019m just wondering if that has anything to do with missing an important drone that just killed three of our heroes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
