4:30Now PlayingFormer Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and her new coworkers at Fox News are still trying to create controversies where none exist. This week, McEnany launched into an attack on Joe Biden for being "creepy" because he "uses the tactic of whispering" to make points. And what is really driving McEnany and Fox crazy is that the media doesn't care about it - and neither does the public. The Fox folk have been desperate to find a line of attack against the President that sticks, and so far this is the best they are able to do. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

One of the biggest problems that Fox news and other conservative talkers have had since Joe Biden got sworn in as president, is coming up with an attack on Biden that actually sticks, something that resonates with their audience. And this week, Fox news contributor, Kayleigh McEnany, introduced a segment where she thought for sure she had a slam dunk attack against Joe Biden. Take a look at this new attack that they're launching.
I think it's time to give ordinary people a tax break. You said people are waiting for relief? I got them $1.9 trillion in relief so far, they're going to be getting checks in the mail that are consequential. I wrote the bill on the environment. Why would I not before it? Pay them more.
Yikes. That's president Biden using the tactic of whispering during his speeches and press conferences. The White House and communications experts say it's a way for him to connect with voters. Interesting. The Associated Press coming to his defense with this headline quote, listen up. Biden speaks volumes in a whisper to make a point. It's yet another example of the media seemingly treating Democrats and Biden differently than Republicans.
They're attacking him because he whispers. Now, maybe it's creepy to some people. Maybe it's not. I mean, honestly, I've done that in videos before to actually emphasize a point. Sometimes you don't have to yell to emphasize, you can do it like this because that's actually a more, you know, sarcastic way to do it. Fine for doing videos. Maybe you don't want a president doing that. But that's neither here nor there. And it certainly isn't a controversy. But Fox news is desperate. Kayleigh McEnany is desperate. They have got to come up with something to stick on this guy, because so far everything they've done hasn't worked, you know, oh, we want to blame him for these fast food restaurant, the Chick-fil-A sauce shortage. They ran segments trying to blame that on him. You know, oh my God, the gas shortage that lasted about eight days earlier this year. Oh, that was his fault. Everybody already forgot that that even happened.
They can't find a single attack that sticks on Biden. So they go after the whispering and I guarantee you, this is going to have the same impact as all of those other little pseudo scandals that they have come up with. You know, hell, we do a much better job of criticizing Joe Biden than Fox news does because here's the thing, they don't actually want to go after him on the issues because they know that their audience agrees with him on the issues. Like you can't attack him for infrastructure failures because your audience actually wants it to succeed. You know, you can't attack him for climate change initiatives because believe it or not, your audience, Republicans across the country, actually want action on climate change. Healthcare costs, things like that. Yeah. They agree with Joe Biden on that. So that's why Fox news has to resort to these, you know, wacky, I guess we can call them, attacks against Joe Biden because they have nothing of substance to talk about.
You know, they've been trying to convince people for months that there's this crisis down at the Southern border and that somehow it's Joe Biden's fault. There's no crisis.
