Fox News complains that President Biden's criticism of white supremacy will offend Trump supporters

It is amazing that right wing media is pretty much going out of its way to defend racists.

DAN HENNINGER (GUEST): You know, if I may Martha, I'm gonna issue something of a dissent from some of the fellow feeling we've been hearing today.

Joe Biden's inaugural speech, I really thought it was two speeches.

There was a lot in there that was good about unity and reconciliation. He even quoted St. Augustine, one of my favorites. But, there was another speech in there in which he was talking about things like people telling lies for power and profit. He talked about nativism, white supremacy. I think a lot of people sitting -- I mean let's face it. Half the country, nearly half the country did vote for Donald Trump.

It was at that point President Biden talking about Donald J. Trump or is he talking about the people who voted for Trump? Cause I think a lot of them would be entitled to sit out there and say, "I'm not that person."

I'm a blond. I like dumb blond jokes. I know they aren't about me because I'm not dumb.

If you think President Biden was talking about you, then he probably is.

.... so Fux can recapture their viewers lost to NewMax, OANN, and other Nazi news outlets.

Fux Snooz and Murdoch should be deported from America and never allowed re-entry. They have caused enough damage to our politics and our Democracy.

Get lost,... go make Putin's Russia a Fascist Theocratic State.

I don't know where you were the day they taught "majority rules" in grade school Dan Henninger, but maybe you need to take some remedial first grade classes. Are you saying that the targets of Republican bigotry have to just sit back and take it at the risk of their lives because Republican bigots can't handle people opposing their prejudice?

If they don't like being called what they are, they can change.

IF it looks like a humpback whale, empties the swimming pool with a belly flop and thinks only HE is entitled, yah might have just sighted a white supremacist.

A white supremacist by any other name smells just as foul.
