'Arrogant Jew!' Fox News viewers launch assault on Chris Wallace for grilling Rush Limbaugh and Step

Conservative television viewers lashed out at Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News Sunday, after he subjected radio host Rush Limbaugh and White House aide Stephen Miller to tough interviews.

On his Sunday show, Wallace forced the two Republicans to face facts and cross-examination. He met Miller with statistics refuting the need for a border wall to combat drugs, and he suggested that Limbaugh was a hypocrite for supporting President Donald Trump’s use of executive power to thwart the will of Congress.

Fox News viewers responded on Twitter by insisting Wallace is too “liberal” for the network. One angry tweeter referred to Wallace as an “arrogant Jew.”

Fuck 'em we have about 25% of America that is really fucked up
do not spend one second and or one dime on trying to get their vote.

We have a lot more of us then there are of "them." Work to make sure we have
an honest vote and honest vote count.

Now all those farmers who had to plow their crops under and the people
and businesses they support might be gettable.

Republicans don't even bother to reach out to 55% of the population - which is why they are so hardcore on voter suppression tactics.

how the moment a rightwinger disagrees with someone, the ethnic slurs come out.

It's like "I've worked with you three years, Fred, it took me disagreeing with you one time to give you the excuse to call me an arrogant Jew?"

Like Anne Coulter knowing McDonald and his flock are idiots, but only voicing it once she feels he's wronged her.

Anti Semites/Racists/knuckle draggers. All fans of one of their own, born with a Silver Spoon who managed to blow most of it to the point of having to go hat in hand to Russia.

A man who excited enough of the Limbaugh/ Faux News crowd to win.....but only because of the ridiculous Electoral College, where someone can win by millions of votes and still somehow lose.

Only in America.

Well, when Obama did it he was doing bad things to the country, so the executive action was an assault on the Constitution! When trump does it he's doing good things for the country, so that makes his A-OK and perfectly constitutional!

I didn't know they were Jewish or not Jewish until now, and that is indeed ugly shit. Says more about them than anyone else. And I don't care what religion or background they are.

Or do the MAGATS try to put people down by being anti-Semitic?

I don't always agree with Chris Wallace, but he does ask everyone tough questions. I am sure that if Fox does not want him, 60 Minutes will be glad to take him, my guess is he will be on 60 Minutes at some point.

They have a need to find something that allows them to see themselves as better than someone who is not like them. Remember the famed LBJ quote about a poor White man?

And no reason it should be. Which shows that no one thought it was newsworthy or mattered. Like you said, why would they. The thing is, if his father ever mentioned it (I saw some interviews of Mike Wallace), I may not remember it, because it's neither here nor there with me. I do remember his father suffered from clinical depression.

Loved Mike Wallace. Haven't watched Chris, mainly because he's on Fox and I will not watch Fox. Saw enough of it to know it's total propaganda with very few exceptions. I listen to Limbaugh and Laura "Nazi Salute at GOP convention" Ingraham occasionally just to make sure nothing has changed. It hasn't. For 30+ years in Limbaugh's case. When I heard Pence filled in for Ingraham on right wing hate radio when she was on vacation, it all came together. And remember, Pence was Manafort's pick. "Deplorables" was waaaay too kind.

Wallace unexpectedly punctured their bubble and they were briefly exposed to actual facts...which to them are like sunlight to a vampire. They can't handle having their beliefs and blind faith in their leaders challenged.

I was afraid he wouldn't take him on. It seems to me Wallace was playing Devil's Advocate but heaven forbid anyone should have their mind challenged. I like to hear all sides but I came of age in the 60's and 70's when it was the thing to question EVERYTHING.

Is fox occasionally telling them to breath with their mouths shut.

Limbaugh does a damn good job if telling them it's more than ok to do this, and NOT doing it is exactly what the libtards want for them ... Damn commies.
