Fox News Hosts Laud Michelle Obama's DNC Speech: ‘Sliced And Diced' Trump

2020-08-18

[HuffPoo] A Fox News panel had high praise to offer after former first lady Michelle Obama’s address at the Democratic National Convention Monday night.

In her nearly 19-minute speech, Obama denounced President Donald Trump for creating chaos and division and failing to lead with empathy and competence. She also urged Americans to bring his presidency to an end and elect former Vice President Joe Biden.

Many right-wing figures, including some Fox News contributors, criticized the address online. Fox News chose not to air much of the first portion of the convention, opting instead to show Sean Hannity interviewing Donald Trump Jr. Nonetheless, the conservative network’s panel for the convention was apparently impressed by Obama’s speech.

"It’s very difficult to try to connect with an audience without an actual audience there with you but she has the ability to connect with people through the screen," Fox News anchor Dana Perino said. "You got the sense when you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades."

Fine, so long as it isn't sold as Live at the Improv.

As far as an empathy speech from Michelle

#11 But that's not to say it's Trump's fault.

#10 Well, odds are the CCP would not have released the virus if a Democrat, or even a proper RINO, had been in the White House.

#9 Yep. She played to the idea that this virus was entirely preventable, that if any competent Democrat were in charge that it would be gone by now, and that all WuFlu deaths are blood on Donald's hands. Of course, we may have this under control soon, and if Joe happens to get elected, they'll claim all the credit. And if it still persists, it'll be "oh, sorry, but we're in power now and we're not giving it back because you morons couldn't figure out we were lying."

#8 I forfeited my right to make any comments on Mike's speech because I couldn't be bothered to watch it. Reruns of Last Man Standing and Big Bang were more my speed. But I gather from the comments I've read that she was short on facts and long on depression. She needs to see a therapist about her problem. Then she blamed Trump for covid-19, black youts breaking the law, resisting arrest, murdering each other and overdosing on fentanyl. Isn't that what Democrats typically do?

#7 Recently, according to Business Insider, Hussein said:

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f--- things up."

What-A-Sham?

#4 so you're saying Big Mike reached into his shorts and slapped his salami down on the podium?

#3 I can actually imagine Faux putting on a pay per view of Dana and Moooch getting it on.

#2 So Dana has a crush on Michael?

#1 News person is she? I could almost hear the applause coming from Crawford, Texas.
