Fox News Host Blasts GOP Sen. For Refusing To Comment On Marjorie Taylor Greene And Liz Cheney

Fox News Host Blasts GOP Sen. For Refusing To Comment On Marjorie Taylor Greene And Liz Cheney
Fox News

Recently, a GOP Senator was grilled when she appeared on Fox News, usually a friendly network to conservative thinkers and lawmakers.

On Wednesday, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee was repeatedly pressed by hosts Sandra Smith and John Roberts during her appearance on the network, Raw Story reported.


Roberts and Smith repeated a direct question Blackburn simply refused to answer. What did she think about the fates of her colleagues in the House of Representatives, Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia and Liz Cheney, of Wyoming?

Spoiler alert: she thought as close to nothing about that as is humanly possible.

Smith and Roberts aimed to hear Blackburn's opinion on whether Republicans in the House of Representative would publicly condemn Greene and/or Cheney. The evolving story has been a reckoning moment for the House GOP.

Greene, who was inaugurated to the House only weeks ago, has dominated headlines in recent weeks as critics have pointed to her background of incendiary social media posts and belief in blatantly false conspiracy theories.

Her mixture of hate and delusion has led Democrats to call for her to be removed from two committee assignments, and a Thursday vote on the House Floor will decide if that happens.

All the while, Cheney has been under fire ever since she publicly denounced Trump's escalating rhetoric before the riots at the capitol. She even voted to impeach the former President.

But unlike Greene, Cheney has a long track record of public service and a more responsible relationship with things that are true. So hosts Roberts and Smith asked Senator Blackburn the question posed to GOP lawmakers across the country all day yesterday.

Should the GOP condemn a qualified, senior member and let a novice QAnon conspirator roam free?

Blackburn had no interest getting into those weeds.

"That is my former chamber and I know how frustrated it would make me when senators would weigh in on things that we were doing or debating over in the House chamber."
"So I'm going to leave the actions of the day to the House leadership."

After Blackburn dodged a follow up from Roberts, Smith entered the conversation to press as well.

"When it comes, Senator, to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Karl Rove says she's a problem for our party and that our party needs to deal with this. What are your thoughts?"

Blackburn did not relent, instead saying, "I'm going to leave all of this about the House to the House."

Smith was exasperated:

"Just if I could follow up. You're a sitting U.S. senator, you should probably have a thought on this."

People on Twitter who saw Blackburn's evasive two minutes were hardly surprised, but plenty frustrated nonetheless.




As for some closure on the situation in question, NPR reported the House GOP voted to keep Cheney in her leadership position.

With regard to Greene, her fate will only become clear following the vote in the House later Thursdau.

But one thing is for sure. Don't count on Senator Marsha Blackburn for any clues.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.
