FNC’s Janice Dean Says It’s ‘Disgusting’ Cuomo Scored Book Deal – Thought It Was A ‘Joke’

Posted on May 18, 2021 by LifeZette

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean went on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning to slam New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) after it was reported that he will receive $5.1 million from his book about the coronavirus pandemic.

Dean Thought Cuomo Book Deal Was A ‘Joke’

Dean said that she initially thought the book deal was a “joke,” as she feels Cuomo is the last person who should be writing a book about handling the COVID-19 pandemic when he allegedly covered up the number of deaths in New York nursing homes.

She added that it is “disgusting” that Cuomo is profiting off the deaths of New Yorkers, including her in-laws.

“When I first read that the governor was writing a book in the middle of the pandemic, I thought it was a joke,” Dean said. “I thought it was a headline in the Babylon Bee or The Onion.”

“How could a governor write a book about leadership when thousands of elderly are dying?” she added. “It was incredible. And I was mad at the time but seeing he got over $5 million for this, profiting off the deaths of New Yorkers, including my in-laws, it’s disgusting.”

Dean Doubles Down

“I think the book publishing company can sue him for breach of contract because it’s filled with lies,” she added.

“And if you look at the timeline — the governor covering up the nursing home issue, the tragedy over 5,000 deaths that him and his administration tried to cover up for months — the timeline corresponds with him trying to sell that $5 million book,” Dean said. “So, I wonder if we can profit off the Son of Sam law. All of that money should go to the families of our dead loved ones.”

Last month, Dean demanded that lawmakers take action and impeach Cuomo.

“Our lawmakers in Albany need to do something,” she said at the time. “This whitewash of an impeachment is ridiculous. Go in there today and get it done. There are at least four investigations into this governor. How much more do you need to get him out?”

Pelosi Mocks Male Republicans For Not Being Able To Handle Party ‘Girlfriend’ Liz Cheney

Posted on May 6, 2021 by LifeZette

As calls grow for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to be ousted from her leadership roles, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is mocking male Republicans for trying to find a “non-threatening woman” to replace her.

Pelosi’s Spoof Ad

Staffers for Pelosi sent out a spoof “help wanted” ad as calls mounted to remove Cheney for her moves against former President Donald Trump, according to Yahoo News.

“Word is out that House GOP Leaders are looking to push Rep. Liz Cheney from her post as House Republican Party Chair – their most senior woman in GOP leadership – for a litany of very Republican reasons: she won’t lie, she isn’t humble enough, she’s like a girlfriend rooting for the wrong team, and more,” the ad stated.

“So what exactly are House GOP Leaders looking for in a #3? Punchbowl AM got the scoop and, well, it’s not surprising … they want a woman who isn’t a ‘threat’ to them,” it continued.

This was a reference to Punchbowl News, which reported on Tuesday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (D-CA) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) want Cheney ousted and replaced with someone who is “not relentlessly on message, but also someone who does not pose a threat to them and their power.”

McCarthy Sounds Off

While appearing on “Fox & Friends” this week, McCarthy said that some members of the caucus were “concerned” about Cheney’s capacity to do her job as a conference chairwoman.

“There’s no concern about how she voted on impeachment. That decision has been made. I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair – to carry that message,” he said.

Cheney Attacks Trump

Cheney has long been an outspoken critic of Trump, recently saying that “it’s important” that he not run again in 2024.

“I don’t think that that’s going to happen,” Cheney told the Washington Examiner. “And I think it’s important that it not happen, given what he did.”

While she also said that she “certainly would never vote for a Democrat” and she also stated that she does not think Trump “should be president again.”

Report: GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy Caught On Hot Mic Saying He’s ‘Had It’ With NeverTrumper Liz Cheney

Posted on May 5, 2021 by John Hanson

According to a report on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was caught on mic saying he has “had it” with House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney.

The alleged incident was reported by Axios and was said to take place off the air while McCarthy was on “Fox & Friends” being interviewed by host Steve Doocy.

McCarthy On Hot Mic: ‘I’ve Had It With Her’

“I think she’s got real problems,” McCarthy reportedly said to Doocy. “I’ve had it with … I’ve had it with her. You know, I’ve lost confidence.”

McCarthy also reportedly spilled on the hot mic that he expects a vote soon to remove Cheney from GOP leadership.

According to Axios, McCarthy said, “Well, someone just has to bring a motion, but I assume that will probably take place.”

During the actual on-air interview, McCarthy was far more diplomatic toward Cheney and her controversy, expressing that members of his caucus were “concerned” about the House Republican Conference chairwoman’s ability to carry out her responsibilities.

Reports Coming That Cheney Could Be Out

“There’s no concern about how she voted on impeachment,” McCarthy told Doocy as the interview began. “That decision has been made.”

McCarthy continued, “I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair — to carry out the message.”

“We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority. Remember, majorities are not given; they are earned,” he added. “And that’s about the message about going forward.”

The Hill spoke to allies of McCarthy earlier this week, some of whom claimed Cheney would be ousted from her chair by the end of this month.

“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end,” one key McCarthy ally told The Hill on Monday. “When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome.” https://t.co/XwxnrbYmZa

“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end,” one key McCarthy ally told The Hill. “When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome.”

Another McCarthy ally said, “This is a broad range of lawmakers who have had it with her.”

“She’s a liability, and McCarthy’s as fed up as the rest of us that she is focused on the past rather than winning back the House,” the anonymous person added.

Cheney has repeatedly attacked former President Donald Trump, who remains extremely popular in the Republican Party.

The anti-Trump neoconservative blames Trump for the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Not one to shy away from a fight, Trump has returned fire, calling Cheney a ‘warmonger’ on several occasions.

McEnany Crushes Bolton: Takes The Title Of ‘Most Disliked Man In America’ From Comey

Posted on June 18, 2020 by Rusty Weiss

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized former National Security Adviser John Bolton, saying he had self-debunked his own book and was quickly becoming the most disliked man in America.

Bolton’s memoir, titled “The Room Where It Happened,” makes many dubious claims, including allegations that President Trump asked for help with his election from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In an interview with “Fox & Friends,” McEnany said previous claims by Bolton that the President was “perfectly prepared” and that he “understands President Reagan’s peace through strength” mantra, render his new allegations weak.

In fact, she expanded on that theme attacking Bolton’s reputation as a war hawk.

“He is a misguided hawk on foreign policy and a weak dove of an author,” Trump’s press secretary claimed.

Kayleigh McEnany: “This book is full of classified information, which is inexcusable. Fmr. NSA John Bolton should know all too well that it’s unacceptable to have highly classified information from the government of the United States in a book that will be published.” pic.twitter.com/GO4Irik0FU

— The Hill (@thehill) June 17, 2020

Worse Than Comey?

McEnany pointed out that one simply needs to peruse past comments by Bolton prior to being fired that show his new bitter words can’t be trusted.

“This man is someone who praised President Trump as being strong on foreign policy, for not making the mistakes of previous administrations,” she said.

Now he’s going to claim the President sold America out to Xi?

McEnany proceeded to tackle the disdain on both sides of the aisle for Bolton, suggesting he had supplanted another universally despised figure.

“He’s discredited on both sides of the aisle and if you thought James Comey was the most disliked man in America,” she fired off, “I think John Bolton has taken that title.”

Disliked Man

The thing is, McEnany is right.

Sure, once Democrats subpoena him and he provides some glimmer of hope for a new impeachment hoax, he’ll be heralded as courageous and noble.

But for now, even the likes of one Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been highly disdainful toward Bolton.

“When Bolton was asked [to testify], he refused, and said he’d sue if subpoenaed. Instead, he saved it for a book,” Schiff whined. “Bolton may be an author, but he’s no patriot.”

Even that was too much for former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who said his literary skills were suspect since he was “sitting in his pajamas pecking away on his iPad” rather than facing scrutiny before Congress.

Trump Calls Nancy Pelosi A ‘Sick Puppy’ After She Blames Him For Coronavirus Deaths

Posted on March 30, 2020 by Rusty Weiss

President Donald Trump slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a “sick puppy” following comments she made suggesting his actions in dealing with the coronavirus crisis have been “deadly.”

The President responded to Pelosi’s attack during a phone interview with Fox & Friends Monday morning.

“She’s got a lot of problems and that’s a horrible thing to say,” Trump fumed, before noting that it was his actions very early on that saved lives.

“I stopped some very, very infected, very, very sick people, thousands coming in from China, long earlier than anybody thought, including the experts, nobody thought we should do it except me,” he insisted.

Sick Puppy

Pelosi, in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper this weekend, compared President Trump to the Roman Emperor Nero and implied that Democrats might embark on another investigation of his actions.

“What did he know and when did he know it?” Pelosi asked. “That’s for an after-action review. But as the president fiddles, people are dying.”

She also suggested, despite evidence to the contrary, that Trump’s “denial at the beginning, was deadly.”

Trump on Monday said, “She’s a sick puppy in my opinion.”

Trump Unloads

The President responded to the suggestion that an investigation might be forthcoming by reminding viewers that Democrats were focusing on the impeachment sham when word of the coronavirus spreading to the United States was starting to hit.

“There’s something wrong with the woman,” he understated. “She focused on impeachment, and she lost, and she looked like a fool.”

Trump concluded by insinuating Pelosi is “a disgrace to her country [and] her family.”

Trump Saved Lives

During the Fox & Friends interview, President Trump pointed out that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has repeatedly credited him with saving countless lives through swift action.

One of the key actions necessary to control the spread of the virus, Fauci explained, is to “contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside.”

Dr. Ronny Jackson, former lead White House doctor appointed by Barack Obama, has made similar comments that refute Pelosi’s blame game claims.

The President’s actions, he concluded, are “going to save countless American lives.”

New Video Shows Pelosi Practicing Ripping Up Trump’s State Of The Union Speech

Posted on February 5, 2020 by LifeZette

By PoliZette Staff | February 5, 2020

A new clip has surfaced that clearly shows Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi practicing the act of ripping up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech before she actually did it.

This comes hours after Pelosi’s office denied allegations from Vice President Mike Pence that she had pre-planned the move of ripping up the speech. However, video clearly shows Pelosi practicing ripping up the speech under the table before it ended. In addition, cameras behind Pelosi shows that the pages were “pre-ripped” before the conclusion of the speech.

During an interview on “Fox & Friends” this morning, Pence was asked if he believed Pelosi pre-planned the controversial move.

“It felt like it,” he said. “Pelosi, in the final moments, tried to make it about her. And I think the American people see through it. I think they see through the pettiness, they see through the politics of all of it.”

Pelosi’s office fired back by slamming Pence and denying that she had panned the move beforehand.

“The Vice President’s complicity in last night’s reality show is disgusting. He is in no position to lecture anyone about the Constitution, decorum or respect as he cheerleads the mistruths of his master,” Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s spokesman, told Daily Mail.

Pelosi expressed no regrets about ripping up the speech, despite getting backlash from conservatives.

“He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,” she reportedly said. “You are supposed to talk about the state of the union, not the state of your alleged mind.”

Tensions between Trump and Pelosi seemed to be at an all-time high from before the speech even began. When Trump arrived to deliver his address, he snubbed Pelosi as she tried to extend her hand for a handshake.

Given the fact that Pelosi has been leading the charge in the impeachment effort against Trump, it should come as no surprise that he does not want to shake her hand.
