Fox News host baselessly claims that 'something's going to happen' to Joe Biden

forcing her colleague to walk her comment back

Fox News opinion host "Judge" Jeanine Pirro baselessly fueled a conspiracy theory that suggested "something's" going to happen to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and that it would cause the former vice president to be removed from the ballot during the presidential election in November.

"For some reason, I just have this feeling that Joe Biden isn't going to be on the ticket," Pirro said during a Fox News segment on Wednesday.

"I have a sense that something's going to happen before the election and he's not even going to be on the ticket, so don't even ask me if he's going to make the four years," she added.

As Pirro continued with her analysis on Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate, Fox News commentator Jesse Watters could be heard in the background expressing caution.

No. A “gut feeling” does not qualify as “news” and is beneath the dignity of the profession.

When your strategy is reduced to wishing "something is going to happen" to your opponent, it's time to realize you've already lost.

I had Faux on to view clammy donnie's presser, and caught a bit of their drivel.

Uncharacteristically, tho, Geraldo Rivera was very complimentary of Joe Biden, calling him a fine person and a good candidate for the office, and also approving of his selection of Kamala to make a well-rounded Democratic ticket.

So, it was a strange day for my quick visit to Faux News.

to constantly bring up mental and physical health when the candidate you bring it up against looks, sounds, and acts perfectly fine while your guy isn't able to walk or speak without stumbling, shaking, or sounding like he's high.

And democrats will move to push him out of the office as quickly as they can. I took a hint from someone else on DU who commented on that post where I talked about it and bet her $100 that wouldn't happen. She's now backtracking.

Because we are doomed!

They see the tsunami in the distance and are now resorting to fantasies to keep their rubes hopeful.

Like praying cancer away rather then getting treatment.

she'd have the pound on her doorstep. There's no excuse for comments this reckless, even from Fox, and it wouldn't be unheard of for the FBI to sit her down and explain that. With idiots like Pirro mouthing off, it's comforting to know Biden and Harris already have Secret Service details.

Biden and Harris stirred something in me today: hope.

They both better have plenty of Secret Service protection leading up to the election.

I know some of you are feeling it too. Deteriorating Donny just LOVES him some Putin, and Vlad does not hesitate to take out opponents. Let's hope he doesn't sink that far.
