Fox News Hosts Pretend Only Confederates Can Be Insurrectionists
We've watched Fox "news" for years now try to whitewash, minimize and rewrite history about what happened on January 6th when Trump sent his mob to storm the Capitol to try to help him overturn a free and fair election, and they're still at it today.
During a discussion on this Friday's Outnumbered with the B Team filling in about the decision from the Maine Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, ruling that Trump in ineligible to be on the 2024 primary ballot, mirroring what we just saw out of Colorado, cohosts Julie Banderas, David Webb and Cheryl Casone gave what may have been some of the most lame attempts at defending Trump yet. Apparently the definition of an insurrectionist only applies to Confederates.
Here's the back and forth which also includes some really ridiculous whataboutism with Joe Biden as well, and pretending poor old picked on Trump hasn't done anything to cause his own problems. He just has some "issues in the court system." I believe the word you're looking for Julie is indictments.
