Ingraham: Biden’s town hall on CNN was a “pathetic exercise in flattery and futility”

Fox News host Laura Ingraham torched President Joe Biden’s performance as CNN mayor on Wednesday night, calling the event a “pathetic exercise in flattery and futility.”

Ingraham argued Thursday in “The Ingraham Angle” that Americans have seen the leader of our nation “embarrass himself with a combination of lies, obfuscation and willful ignorance.”

“CNN’s mayoralty on Wednesday with Biden was such a pathetic exercise in flattery and futility,” she said. “I was almost going to skip the full dissection tonight, but I changed my mind. During the 90-minute event, it was excruciating. We saw a sitting president embarrass himself with a combination of lies, of obscurity and willful ignorance. And, we saw a TV host nod his head as the sad spectacle unfolded. “

Ingraham also criticized CNN’s Don Lemon, saying that given the many crises and challenges the country faces, the town hall host “could have done a huge public service by asking tough and fair questions.”

Ingraham added that Lemon came across as more of an “assisted living aid” for the president as he struggled to express his thoughts.

“Now, in an era of immense economic health and national security challenges facing the United States, Don Lemon could have done a huge public service by asking tough and fair questions all along,” he said. she argued. “But instead, most of the time it was more akin to an assisted living. Now, there’s no good way to put it. I’m sorry, but Joe Biden loses it. He is seldom able to start and end a thought without straying down a meaningless tangent. “

Ingraham went on to say that the media “slavishly covers” President Biden and “does not want to hold him to the same brutal standards that Trump held,” as evidenced by Wednesday’s performance at City Hall and the backlash that has followed.

“Biden is falling back into the past but struggles to respond to the present. And so does the media, slavishly covering him, not wanting to hold him to the same brutal standards as Trump,” Ingraham exclaimed.

“CNN lost its credibility, and last night, despite all the build-up, production and fanfare, Biden and Lemon lost their time slot. And by the way, they lost it to this show by more than one. half a million viewers, even though we broadcast two hours later. “
