On Thursday morning, MRC founder and president Brent Bozell laid into the latest softball-laden Harris interview while appearing on FBN’s Varney and Co.
The show’s titular host, Stuart Varney, began with a clip of President Biden’s cozy Wednesday appearance on ABC’s The View. “Softball questions, no serious questions, no follow-ups — but does it work with voters?” he inquired.
Bozell led off with a nonsensical quote from co-host Whoopi Goldberg to Biden: “You stepped up to lead us out of a dark and very divisive era, and became one of the most substantial Presidents in the past half-century.”
“That wasn’t a question, that was a statement,” Bozell argued, adding: “The day my children put me in an old folks home, and they tell me that I’ve got to be put away, they’re going to be just as nice to me. And this is really what’s going on with Joe Biden. They feel sorry for the man… They’re trying to make him feel nice now that he’s been put into a closet.”
Bozell then turned his sights on MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, who conducted the Wednesday interview with Vice President Harris: “Where Kamala Harris is concerned, she was interviewed by a reporter who a week ago said on the Bill Maher show that [Harris] did not have to take any policy questions, and she did not need to do interviews. And that reporter went on to call Donald Trump a threat to democracy.”
“She allowed no policy positions to be given, and she allowed Kamala Harris to attack Donald Trump,” he concluded. “So, no, there’s nothing serious going on.”
Varney also cited the MRC’s recent study which found Google search results deliberately favor Harris over Trump. “How do you stop the left-wing push on these platforms?” he asked.
Bozell pointed out that according to polling data, 15 percent of the public rely on Google for information about political candidates. “Google is deliberately playing with the algorithms to change the electoral count. If that isn’t tampering with democracy, I don’t know what is,” he concluded.
