Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard: 8/7/2023
Fifth Place: Kurt Sclichter
Just today, Kurt published a column on Townhall with the headline "Will The Biden Administration (sic) Let Trump – Or Any Republican – Take Office In 2025?" As if it was Democrats and not Republicans who tried to stop the last President from taking office through everything ranging from nonsensical legal theories to a downright coup. This article even sees Kurt predicting that Kamala Harris would personally do one of the tactics Trumpers proposed to keep Trump in office:
The Democrats own the Senate, so watch Kamala Harris show up to do what Mike Pence – before he became an insufferably prissy collaborator with the narrative over the last few weeks – properly refused to do and try to interfere with the Electoral College count.
Fourth Place Steve Deace
If you want to see partisanship taken to a new extreme, Steve Deace over on BlazeTV is a good example. Steve thinks Trump "helped them poison all of us, and is unrepentant about it," regarding vaccines, but still felt the need of him "I'll vote for him if he is the nominee."
Third Place: John Lauro
The Donald Trump lawyer was on Meet The Press over the weekend, where he said the following:
The defense is quite simple. President Trump believed in his heart of hearts that he had won that election, and as any American citizen, he had a right to speak out under the First Amendment.
Yeah, that's great and all make no mistake--that has quite literally nothing to do with the charges against Donald Trump. He could have said anything he wanted, he couldn't have conspired to overturn a federal election to keep himself in power, which is what he's actually being accused of.
Second Place: Julie Banderas
The Fox News anchor had this wonderful defense for Trump:
So it is not a crime to tell lies. Being a narcissist is not a crime. Hatching schemes to stay in office is not a crime. And claiming you won an election you know you lost is not a crime. With all of that said, how do you see this playing out in Georgia?
Hatching schemes to stay in office when the law says you have to leave is a crime, you moron. Also, although lying on its own is not a crime, it can be used as evidence for fraud--such as if you go around fundraising on the basis that you won an election you know you lost and get millions of dollars from that.
Winner: Fabian Marta
You know that Sound of Freedom movie the right loves so much despite the fact that's utter dogshit? Well one of its funders was arrested recently for child kidnapping!
Fabian Marta, you've done the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
