This is nothing new for Fox, or for Fox & Friends host Rachel Campos-Duffy, who have done their best to whitewash what happened on January 6th from the get go.
During a segment on this Sunday's show, Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joined the panel to discuss Trump's appearance at a UFC fight this weekend, and then Cain turned the discussion to Trump's Nazi comments about immigrants supposedly "poisoning the blood of our country" during a rally in New Hampshire this weekend.
Apparently Cain is very upset that the "media" is talking about Trump rather than the Senate staffer who got caught filming himself having gay sex in a committee room:
“This is a big story,” Cain explained while recapping the news that the Daily Caller obtained a leaked video of two naked men having sex in Hart 216, a committee hearing room used by the U.S. Senate. After that, Cain pivoted to the New Hampshire campaign rally Trump held on Saturday where he railed that immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia are “poisoning the blood of our country.” [...]
Cain spoke with Shannon Bream about how he anticipated this is going to dominate the conversation again.
The mainstream media is going to talk about this. They already are. It’s going to take over everything. ‘Poisoning the blood of our country’ when talking about illegal immigration.
In fact, the Biden-Harris administration has already jumped all over it. They said the following ‘Tonight, Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy. He is betting he can win this election by scaring and dividing the country. He’s wrong.’
The reason I bring up those two stories to you, Shannon, is I thought and I think it should be a big deal that we’re talking about what happened in the Senate hearing chamber. And I think what we’re going to do, I think what’s going to happen here, Shannon, for the next couple of days is we’re going to latch on to three words that Donald Trump said, and it’s going to drive the news cycle.
Yeah, heaven forbid the media isn't giving more attention to a staffer who is now fired and could wind up being charged criminally as well, rather than the person who wants to be America's dictator talking like Hitler.
After more nonsense by Cain, and Bream attempting to inject at least a tiny bit of sanity into the conversation, Campos-Duffy couldn't resist using the conversation as an excuse to play the pity card for the January 6th insurrectionists, and the "two-tiered" system of justice if the staffer doesn't end up being charged:
DUFFY: The Democrat senator of this staffer was somebody who took to the House floor and talked about how sacred this place was right after January 6th. And then when asked about this, yes, he fired his staffer, but no words about the sacredness of the Capitol after this man did pornographic acts inside of the chamber.
Well, first off, he was in a committee room, and not the "chamber," and unlike you, your network, and Republicans with the insurrectionists, no Democrat is defending this guy's actions whether they wanted to comment on it or not. What a pathetic treasonous lot these propagandists are.
