BREAKING: Political analyst Charles Blow STUNS a Trumper hack live on air by boldly calling out his bullsh*t to his face: "You are a liar!"
These crooks aren't used to direct confrontation...
"I just believe that this is a news show on a news channel. I have an ethical responsibility to say that you are lying," Blow said on CNN to Hal Lambert, a hardcore MAGA supporter and Republican donor. "You are lying."
Lambert was amplifying the completely false allegations of election fraud that Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Mike Johnson, and their entire party have been pushing about the Los Angeles mayoral election. Republican Spencer Pratt was recently knocked out of the running (an unsurprising development given how blue the city is) and conservatives are crying foul.
Lambert tried to interject but Blow plowed through him.
"I didn't interrupt you and you will not interrupt me," said Blow.
"You don't call me a liar on national TV, sir!" whined Lambert. "Do not call me a liar on national TV, sir."
"LIAR!" said Blow, pointing defiantly at him.
"You're a liar," Lambert weakly shot back.
"I can spell it too. I have an ethical responsibility," said Blow. "If people are going to go over here and poison voters' views of an election system that has no proof that it is rigged in any way, spouting the same lie that the President is spouting, we have an ethical responsibility at this table in a news show, on a news channel, to call that out. And I'm going to do that. You can huff and puff. You can huff and puff and be mad all you want, and I don't care."
Blow should be commended for his bluntness and moral clarity. We have allowed our political discourse to rot so thoroughly during the Trump era that men like Lambert feel comfortable going on television and spouting the most absurd, laughable lies with a straight face.
We know for a fact that there was no election fraud. There has never been a shred of evidence for any of these MAGA claims, but the Republican Party has become so warped by Donald's egomaniacal, insecure psyche that they simply can't accept the fact that their political platform is radioactive. Rather than change their pitch to the American people, they screech about rigged elections.
"You keep ignoring what I've said. There is... You're saying..." tried Lambert.
"I'm going to keep ignoring it. Because you're lying," said Blow.
Lambert then tried to jump into a rant about alleged Medicare fraud but host Abby Phillip shut him down, forcing him to focus on his false claims about the California election. He spun his wheels a bit, making vague claims, and Philip pointed out that he has no evidence to back up his outlandish accusations.
"They won't allow evidence to be gathered," Lambert complained.
"The absurdity of your point is that you don't have proof," said Blow. "And then I have to say this. He doesn't have proof. And then he says, 'I don't have proof, and I can prove that I don't have proof because they won't let us investigate.' So you don't have proof, and you just proved that you don't have it!"
"Hal, let me just give you some more information on this," said Phillip. "The federal government has received, I think it's millions of voter registrations from some Republican-led states that have given them access to it. Do you know what percentage of those votes or those registrations where they found actual fraud of any kind?"
"Do you?" asked Lambert.
"Yeah," said Phillip.
"What is it?" he asked.
"It is a fraction of a percentage," she said. "And in some cases, when they double-checked, those flags that they thought were fraud were actually not fraud.
"You're claiming that it's never been looked at. That's false," she added. You're claiming that this administration hasn't been able to look at it. That's also false. You are claiming that just the fact that the federal government hasn't looked at all the state voter rolls as proof that there is fraud is not true."
This is how every Trump proxy should be dismantled whenever they open their mouths to spew their toxic lies. The time for civility is over. Call them out and shame them!
