Jeff Weaver Pimps Bernie Sanders on Fox and Friends, Gets Punked For His Trouble

[TomCADem]

Talk about making a deal with the devil. Fox News has been mighty hospitable to the Sanders campaign whether it be offering to host a debate or giving Bernie's campaign a chance to air their various grievances against the DNC. You would think that Fox was finding its liberal voice. But, turns out such was not the case.

Why would a Democratic presidential candidate go on Fox and Friends if it wasn't to try and attract resentful white voters to upcoming open primaries? Hell if I know, but that's what Jeff Weaver did Wednesday morning, spending a good two solid minutes bitching about Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her "personal" problems with Bernie Sanders. Note how, right at the beginning, Weaver doesn't disagree when Doocy says Sanders fans will "go nuts" if DWS opens the convention.

The fun part came when it was time for Weaver to pay the piper. After airing his laundry list of grievances against the DNC and Hillary, Weaver was afforded the opportunity to explain Bernie's "socialism" to these three idiots, all while they played footage of rioting in Venezuela. For good measure, Kilmeade got in a quick parting shot right at the end.

1. Weaver the toad.

He is a walking bedsore.

2. It's really difficult to listen to even a clip from that show.

No one should have to watch a show like that. It's so bad that I cannot even tell you how it might relate to any point that you're trying to make with it. Honestly, I would prefer to watch a clip of some poor dope sick addict writhing on a jailhouse floor than to watch Fox and Friends.

4. Going on Fox News is a trap

5. Pimps?

Is this acceptable to use with Hillary now as well? This insinuation is akin to calling someone a "whore" and that certainly isn't acceptable here. Disgusting.

6. Tip of the iceberg. If Sander's (and he won't be) is the nominee

the republican smear machine will be cranked up to max power. As we know all the RW secret super pacs don't care about the truth; Bill Clinton Whitewater, Vince Foster's death, John Kerry's Vietnam record, Barack Obama, association with Rev Wright, born in Kenya; etc. Bernie will be smeared from coast to coast. Given his background and political leanings the RW smear machine will have a field day.

7. Nobody cares about the 'Mighty GOP smear machine"

11. You haven't been paying attention to the DNC smear machine apparently. Of course the GOP

talking heads would be cranked, while the "other side" of the establishment media would let him and any socialist message flounder as they provided the barest of perceived support. And I mean even if he was running against Trump. The people with money don't like the commons, and they don't like social welfare that is efficacious enough to actually change our national trajectory. The good liberal side of the power brokers do like the idea of social charities, and having their names on a plaque. They just aren't so fond of indictments of the entire system that they benefit from.

Well, Bernie's checks must still be good if weaver's still out on the road for him.
