Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield absolutely lost his mind Wednesday night when a veteran helping Americans and Afghan allies flee Afghanistan offered the mildest of criticism of former President Donald Trump.
Joe Saboe, an Iraq War veteran who recently founded the rescue organization Team America, appeared on Stinchfields eponymous Newsmax program to discuss his groups efforts in assisting those looking to escape Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover.
The first few minutes of the interview went fairly cordially, as Saboe explained how his groups digitial Dunkirk effort has helped hundreds of people get out of the country after Kabul fell last month. At the same time, he openly disagreed with Stinchfields claim that the small number of Americans still stuck in Afghanistan constituted a hostage situation, largely blaming the issue on coordination problems between the State Department and Taliban.
Eventually, the vehemently pro-Trump Newsmax host began prodding Saboe to criticize the Biden administration for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the evacuation crisis that followed.

Newsmax is for those who find FUX Noise too highbrow.

(23,862 posts)I am fine with them echoing their BS to each other. The same folks who believe QAnon tune in to watch this reality distorting communication channel.

(3,554 posts)I hope that Rachel would interview Joe Saboe on her show. Or Chris Hayes or Lawrence O'Donnell.
They would treat the veteran with respect.
That MAGAts would love it, amirite? They always say how pro-veteran they are.

(8,889 posts)watched for about 5-10 minutes. After that I never turned it on again, because those few minutes told me all I needed to know about Newsmax. That it was a Fox News wannabe copycat, that its content was a joke, and that it was for RWers who couldnt get enough RW spew that they still had time to devote to viewing assholes like that loudmouth nobody we just saw in that video clip.
Grant Stench Field?
