"Fox Business news anchor Maria Bartiromo was in for a rude awakening when she attempted to blame the U.S. Capitol riots on Democrats who "infiltrated" the federal building wearing Make America Great Again (MAGA) clothing.
As she discussed the reports about possible threats of right-wing violence looming over the upcoming presidential inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, she falsely that Democrats participated in the Capitol riots, according to Media Matters.
During the broadcast, Bartiromo said, "A new report says that some far-right protesters have discussed posing as members of the National Guard to infiltrate the inauguration the way Democrats infiltrated two weeks ago and put on MAGA clothing."

I just saw this on CNN where they showed a clip of it, and Bartiromo seemed to be making fun of the National Guard force in Washington, where she followed it with an outright LIE regarding the rioters on the Capital were Democrats

(59,504 posts)are two possibilities. If NO Republican does -- a Democrat should note that mainstream Republicans have DISOWNNED these Trump Republicans.
Her comment should be turned around to state that Republican apologists, like her, were so offended by the actions of these MAGA people they created that the only way they could parse the awful optics -- was to claim those involved were .. Democrats! Imagine these people who incorrectly label themselves "patriots" and "Christians" seeing that they are so disliked by FOX personalities - that they were called ... Democrats.

(639 posts)She's never provided any meaningful economic reporting, just gossipy nonsense since starting on CNN ( under Lou Dobbs mentorship),
She's never profiled any important economic leaders, just a few CEOs and nothing noteworthy.
Her books won no awards. Her TV awards are similar to grade-school participation awards, with the biggest one being one of 50 upcoming reporters. One of 50 is not a stellar career.
She's a teleprompter reader and nothing more.
