Chris Wallace Bitch-Slaps Eric Cantor

[Wry Catcher]

It never ceases to amaze me just how fast you dullards embrace Fox News when they do something you find favorable...

They suddenly become the greatest and most reliable news source on the planet...

The OP did not "embrace Fox News". Why lie (consider that rhetorical)?

Roger Ailes isn't stupid, I suspect he knows Speaker Boehner has lost control of the H. of Rep. and a radical faction is now in control, and radical change is anathema to the vast majority of the American People.

Chris Wallace Rips Eric Cantor as Fox News Drops a Reality Bomb on House Republicans



Chris Wallace tore through Eric Cantor with some tough realistic question on Fox News Sunday, and proved that Fox News is frighteningly more in touch with reality than House Republicans.


Chris Wallace first asked Cantor, “Is what you have been doing the best way to spend Congress’s time when you are about to go on recess for five full weeks?” Cantor tried to defend the votes with standard House Republican talking points, government doesn’t create jobs, blah, blah, blah. Wallace then dropped a reality bomb on Majority Leader Cantor, “But Congressman, rightly or wrongly, none of these bills that you passed is going to become law. Your own members say they’re not going to pass the Senate. The president won’t sign them. Let’s talk reality. You haven’t passed a Farm Bill. You’ve only passed 4 of the 12 appropriations bills you’re supposed to pass. We face a government shutdown and debt limit in the fall. Again, is the best way to spend your time passing bills that aren’t going to become law? An added question, with so much unfinished business why not stick around instead of taking a five week vacation. Rep. Cantor blamed Obama for being out giving campaign speeches, and not cooperating with the House.


Wallace kept after Cantor, “You could tend to your own knitting. You could pass a Farm Bill. You could take. You have the power of the purse. Only 4 of the 12 appropriations bills have you even passed. Why not do what the House is supposed to do?” Cantor claimed they passed a Farm Bill, and tried to turn their complete failure to pass a comprehensive Farm Bill into Republican reform. Cantor blamed the Senate for lack of passage of appropriations bills, and said the House has passed more than the Senate.


When Fox News is more in touch with reality than the Republican Majority Leader in the House, there’s a big problem.



*snip*



Wallace’s aggressiveness spoke to how unpopular House Republicans are within their own party. Everyone is tired of their decision to waste their time on stunts like votes to repeal Obamacare, and meaningless week long votes on “government waste.”


*snip*


Rep. Cantor dodged the vacation question, because he is the one who designed the schedule. The 126 day 2013 House work schedule was his idea. Of course, he is not going to take responsibility for only leaving 9 legislative days out of two months to avoid a government shutdown.

hey, thats FOX...can we trust it?

honestly, you guys...

What a fucking retard you have become.

So are you saying that if you watch Obama take reporters' questions on MSNBC instead of watching it on FOXNEWS, it's bogus? It's not to be trusted?

You're a pathetic hack, and quite the partisan imbecile.

whats the matter? your slobbering hypocrisy ( and idiotic strawman above) to much to swallow even for yourself?

Try harder, I am sure you're up to it, next time you don't like what you hear or see from a fox source, you'll turn your hat around and drool as to what [a] hacks they are

 

[Trajan]

I guess Trajan left to freshen his drink. Again.

as soon as you kiss wallaces ass when he takes apart Jack Lew...

turn your hat around dummy, we get it

Interesting that you posted the verbatim questions from Wallace, but made commentary on Cantors replies.

How about a verbatim response from Cantor to each of these questions? BTW...Wallace failed in this interview by not including the same standard to Senate Democrats.

The problem with this is that if Boehner HAS lost control of the House, then that means that the radicals have been ousted from control.

In addition to that what I find interesting is he had to blast a headline that it was FOXNews and Chris Wallace as if that's the last thing we could expect, that he would press someone from the Republican side with hard questions.

He could've just posted the questions and answers and said cantor had flailed around when pressed by difficult questions and posted the link, that would've been that. Instead he's now surprised that his transparent bs is exposed.....

It is interesting that nobody is ever going after the Senate.

.

because the liibtards are so used and also expect that their libtard media never go after "their own" that doing a normal journalist's job is unprecedented for them.

media for the libtards is a propaganda machine, not the 4th branch of government.

Unfortunately, they are right - all so-called MSM media ARE the propaganda machine

 

[Yurt]

this thread is bizarre....both dems and pubs are taking vacations but the loony lefties are only complaining about the pubs

 

[Camp]

Why can't folks just accept that Cantor is a crappy leader and has become a big embarrassment. He doesn't get the job done, and hasn't in a long time. As a spokesperson for the party he fails. He brings about negative responses from voters ans potential voters. He represents the do nothing congress and the dispised Washington "insider" image. If the Republicans want to gain some new support and fix their broken image, they can do it by replacing the rotten wood and putting on a new paint job. Why go through all this grief for a guy who had his chance and blew it? Is his ego and personel status more important than the party?

 

[Sherry]

FOX News appreciates your viewership...helping them to continue to be #1.

 

[blackhawk]

As soon as FOX questions a Democrat or Obama administration official about Benghazi or the I.R.S. everything will go back to normal with the lefts view of FOX.

frankly I find the whole 5 week recess BS....they should all come back and get the fighting haggling bargaining over with, Boehner can just cave now on immigration and the debt bills and be done with it....*shrugs*

the gop could not message their way out of a wet paper bag, any media slant aside, Cantor is an example par excellence...

your premise is wrong.

whom do you think the Republicans have the broken image with?
the libtards?
who cares

 

[LoneLaugher]

Every now and then, Wallace takes one of the nutters to the woodshed. It is easy to do and ensures that he keeps his rep as a "serious" journalist among hacks at FOX.

It does not signal that FOX is any more reliable today than they were yesterday.
