FOX News clearly knows that the ABC Town Hall with Donald Trump was an absolute trainwreck and are trying to spin it any way they can.
By Red Painter
Donald Trump sat down for a town hall on ABC News with a group of undecided voters in Pennsylvania, and to say it went badly would be too kind. To put it bluntly, when Donald was questioned by a handful of regular old Americans and not Trump supporting sycophants or clout chasing press, he folded like a cheap suit. He literally cannot handle it. Add to it a real time fact checker and he panics.
So, of course, Fox News is trying to find a way to spin it. WIthout blaming a Democrat in the room, their only option is to blame the people doing the questioning, claiming they "ambushed" him by asking...questions? Questions about totally unfair things like COVID, the military, police brutality, etc. WHAT AWFUL THINGS TO ASK A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ABOUT!! What meanies!

Thank you, Brave @EliseStefanik! Your ability to humiliate the good people on #NY21 who voted for you knows no limit! Did you like it when I blamed Biden for not implementing a national mask mandate? Or was that too fucking nonsensical even for you? #TrumpTownHall #HerdMentality

The energy, substantive responses, ability to effectively answer rapid fire Q&A of @realDonaldTrump is in STARK contrast to the endless teleprompter scripting of Joe Biden who hasnt answered any tough questions from anyone in months!

His handlers must be preparing all sorts of excuses to use when he makes a fool of himself during the debates. If you cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen Loser.

The debates should be awesome.

(44,997 posts)An absolute bloodbath. This overwhelming ambush makes the Bowling Green massacre look like a picnic in the park. What will poor crippled Donny do now? Go home and nurse his wounded ego and tormenting bone spurs in front of the teevee with a few Big Macs or twelve. And some shakes. At least they love you. Oh yes they do.
