Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy really has a bee in her bonnet about the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden.
After previously lambasting Vice President Kamala Harris for attending a football game at her alma mater, Campos-Duffy went on air Monday to excoriate the President for taking a bike ride, citing it as evidence of his supposedly inferior fitness for the presidency in comparison to former Republican President Donald Trump.
If that has left you scratching your head, you are not alone. It made little sense to the internet, either.
See her comments below.
Campos-Duffy's comments came after fellow Fox News host Harris Faulkner asked for her two cents, for whatever reason, on the bike ride President Biden was seen taking in his home state of Delaware over the weekend.
Campos-Duffy tried very hard to spin the topic into a commentary on the President's supposedly flagging physical and mental health.
"Being the leader of the free world has to be the most demanding job in the whole world and he simply does not have the mental or physical stamina to do this job."
Your reminder Campos-Duffy's evidence of Biden's poor physical fitness was Biden exercising by riding a bicycle at nearly 80 years old.
Not content to leave it there, Campos-Duffy then absurdly claimed Biden's bike ride somehow proves how much harder Trump worked when he was President than Biden does.
"I mean, just compare it to President Donald Trump, who worked these long, long hours and had impromptu hour-long pressers with the media."
The comparison Campos-Duffy asked for is nothing short of damning.
A December 2019 Washington Post report revealed at that point, when Trump still had over a year left of his term, he had spent roughly one-third of his presidency on the golf course, at a cost of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.
Campos-Duffy made no mention of this, or the evidence of Trump's failing physical fitness, for that matter.
On Twitter, people found Campos-Duffy's comments absolutely ridiculous.
Fox News criticized Biden for exercising by riding a bicycle and said to compare that to Trump \u201cworking long hours\u201d during his term. Trump couldn\u2019t ride a bike, spent most of his term on his golf cart, and couldn\u2019t read reports that didn\u2019t have pictures.https://www.rawstory.com/fox-news-joe-biden-bicycle/\u00a0\u2026— Ladywolf (@Ladywolf) 1632177929
IMAGINE what a vile, deceitful propagandist you\u2019d have to be \u2014 like @RCamposDuffy of @FoxNews \u2014 to pretend that President Biden\u2019s biking is a sign of his UNFITNESS. \n\nApparently she prefers a POTUS who can barely waddle from golf cart to green & had \u201cExecutive Time\u201d till 1pm.https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/1439993866917138432\u00a0\u2026— Mindful Primate (@Mindful Primate) 1632161921
Fox News does know there's little to no excercise in riding a golf cart, right?— J. P. Dancing Bear \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \ud83d\ude80 (@J. P. Dancing Bear \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \ud83d\ude80) 1632156431

Compare it to Trump? OK. Has anyone ever seen Trump ride a bike? We know he can't work an umbrella, so how do we know he can manage a bike?https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/1439993866917138432\u00a0\u2026— Real Patriots Wear Face-Masks (@Real Patriots Wear Face-Masks) 1632157356

Wait until they hear about golfinghttps://www.huffp.st/VeRy5Z3— Harvey Miller (@Harvey Miller) 1632220200
In total, Trump spent at least 285 days of his presidency golfing--a tally that may be much higher, because his administration routinely refused to confirm the president's whereabouts to the press or public.
