Fox News’s Brit Hume Declares Kamala the Winner of Debate, Says Trump “Had A Bad Night, Make No Mistake About It”

Share

Twice on Fox News tonight Brit Hume declared Kamala Harris the winner of her debate with Donald Trump.

Fox hosts Brett Baier and Martha McCallum struggled to defend Trump, so did Jesse Watters. Only Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham weakly praised Trump.

But Harris did win, she chewed Trump up and spit him out. It was satisfying to finally see someone eviscerate a mad man on live TV, call him out on his lies.

What was clear from the debate? Trump hates immigrants. Really hates them. He accuses them of eating pets. He says they’re getting sex change operations. He blathers and dilly dallies. But he’s over now. Anyone who agreed with him needs a psychiatrist.

Fox News is flummoxed now. Rupert Murdoch must be at wit’s end. His network is calling the debate for Harris. But his NY Post persists living in a fantasy. Which will win? Fox, of course. The Post teeters on the edge of the abyss.

Hume: “She baited him successfully.”
