    Fox's Rachel Campos-Duffy Jokes About Violent Attack on Ex-Speaker's Husband: 'Maybe Paul Pelosi Needs the Hammer' https://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-ra...s-husband-maybe-paul-pelosi-needs-the-hammer/
    Fox News weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy joked about the attack on Paul Pelosi that fractured his skull and put him in the hospital.

    Appearing on Friday's Jesse Watters Primetime, Campos-Duffy and guest host Pete Hegseth criticized some of those whom President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier in the day. Those honored included former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Vice President Al Gore, and former Secretary of State John Kerry.

    Campos-Duffy offered a list of alternatives.

    "So, I thought, America's frat boys, they could use the Medal of Freedom," she said. "Donald J. Trump, he never gives up on America. Elon Musk for absolutely caring about freedom of speech."

    She also suggested the award be given to Kid Rock and the U.S. Border Patrol.

    "That's a great list," Hegseth replied. "But it's probably more likely to go to Paul Pelosi, Susan Rice, and Gavin Newsom. So, I think your list is correct, but a little off-brand for Big Joe."

    "Well, maybe Paul Pelosi needs the hammer instead of the medal," she responded.

    "It's metal," Hegseth said while chucking. "We wish him well. We wish him well."


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    All I can say about Rachel Compos-Duffy, the wife of a former republican member of Congress, is that she's been completely indoctrinated into the cruelest, most violent part of the former Republican Party. The GOP should add a tagline to their acronym, 'Cruelty is the point'. If Fox had a shred of integrity, they would have fired her immediately. But no, making fun of Paul Pelosi's brutal attack by a man with a hammer fracturing his skull, is fair game for jokes from their hosts.

    Imagine how much worse this would be if people actually existed who took Campos-Duffy's brain diarrhea seriously?

    Stupid joke but not even close to the stupidity that flows freely from The View on a daily basis. Some people are stupid. Some of those stupid people get put on TV. We have two stupid people running for POTUS. What's your point?

    Once again, the fragile snowflakes can dish it out but can’t take it. I’m sure…no…wait…I’m positive that if I did a search I can find libs joking about Dick Cheney shooting a guy in the face.

    Can you tell the difference between someone shooting in the face and someone being the victim of an attack . . . one which your side loooooved lying about and spreading batshit insane conspiracy theories about?

    Mocking someone for unlawfully injuring someone =/= mocking someone for unlawfully being injured by someone. Two different things. Do you want to continue pretending you can't tell the difference? Cute.

    Whatabout, Whatabout, Whatabout...:bored:
    Speaking generally, certain people really need to get away from that nauseatingly repetitive Whataboutism Shtick...:bored:
    Anyway, back on-topic:
    As far as her suggestions?
    I am certain that Trump (were he to win) would give a Medal to Kid Rock...
    And, probably keep the Rock Star theme going with a Medal to Ted Nugent...

    To nobody's surprise, her opinions conflict with yours. It is what makes politics entertaining.

    Tasteless, vulgar and cruel.

    You find that entertaining?

    We all know that’s what Trump nation loves!

    Yes, politics is entertaining. I wish it had some other value but it doesn't for me.

    Then why are you here?

    A lot of us would prefer an intelligent, mature and informed discussion.

    This is what the left is outraged about.

    On this board we had two threads about Pelosi; one about his car crash and the other about him getting hammered. In each of those threads there were jokes and it wasn't a big deal. But when someone needs to wake up outraged every day and Morning Joe gives it to them, even though the joke was no big deal, the left follows in lockstep and is obligingly outraged.

    Aye that is the rub. Faux has no integrity or ethics or values or even a sense of shame.

    it opens the question “Should the media be held accountable to a ethics standard?

    Should have added an MC Hammer reference like "it's hammer time" or something.

    Would you laugh if MSNBC made a joke about using a hammer on Trump? Haha? Maybe that would get him to finally respect the gag order?

    Hammer wouldn't make sense for Trump , so it would have to be really funny.

    Gotta admit I laughed out. I would never watch the MSM, that is garbage tier propaganda that pretends there is meaningful difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Pelosi is the evil narcissist descendant of an actual mob boss. She hates ordinary Americans (like just about every single other person in Washington). She is worthy of nothing other than contempt and scorn (like just about every single other person in Washington). Fox is worthy of contempt and scorn (like every single other MSM outlet).

    I would love to hear your arguments for why any of these troglodytes should be treated differently. A mildly funny joke about a hammer attack is nothing compared to the life ruination tactics I have seen applied to truth tellers for the past decade. The Washington slime who have spearheaded these life ruination tactics are not above criticism, that would make us a police state.

    2 + 2 doesn’t make sense for Trump in his current state of dementia

    Righties don't care about assault on Pelosi because he's married to Nancy.

    Meanwhile they lost their minds when Kathy Griffin showed a severed head. We had an actual assault where someone was hospitalized.

    Of course, they will never see the distinction because they are consumed by hate.

    The big difference is that in Cheney's case, he wasn't deliberately trying to kill the guy.

    If hitting people over the head with a hammer is something you find amusing, you may want to step back for a bit and do some serious soul searching. Anyone who can defend such an act has a moral compass that's out of adjustment.
