Democrat That Goes Again Waters on Fox

Viewers tuning into Fox News over the past two days may have come away with the conventionalities that defeated 2016 Autonomous presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is admittedly ramping up a 2024 White House run.

Merely finally, on Th, that reality-free chimera was deflated a bit on-air when Play a joke on News correspondent Richard Fowler tossed cold water on the fantasy, calling it "ridiculous" and saying it "fabricated no sense."

Citing a farcical Wall Street Periodical op-ed written by ii Trump-supporting political operatives urging Clinton to run as a "alter candidate," Fox News has run wild with the fanfic that the ex-secretarial assistant of state seeks a political comeback amongst President Joe Biden's sagging poll numbers.

The column itself, as critics noted, is hard to take seriously, largely due to its authors and their motives for writing the piece. Doug Schoen, a erstwhile Clinton adviser, currently serves every bit a contributor for far-right Newsmax and, in 2016, said he couldn't support Hillary due to the James Comey letter. He's too written numerous pieces speculating that Clinton may run for president once more—something that'due south been described equally "business organization-trolling Democrats." (Schoen was previously a Play a joke on News contributor, often branded a "Fox News Democrat" because of his penchant for bashing the party's agenda while beingness labeled on-air every bit a Autonomous consultant.)

The other co-author, Andrew Stein, is a former Manhattan borough president who supported Donald Trump in 2016 and published his endorsement in the Wall Street Journal's stance pages. Stein, who was convicted of tax evasion, wrote a similar op-ed in 2018 challenge "Hillary Will Run Once more," insisting she'd "easily capture the 2020 nomination." (Clinton, of grade, never came close to entering the 2020 race.)

And all the same—and perhaps unsurprisingly—as of Th afternoon, the network had run no less than 19 different segments on the notion that Clinton—a key focus of Fox News programming and correct-fly outrage for decades—is gearing up for a 2024 run.

At the same time, some Play a trick on News personalities seemed to requite away the game.

"A lot of people say the reason that Donald Trump became president, he would not say it, but it was a vote against Hillary Clinton," Fox News anchor John Roberts said Wed.

"I dearest it," MAGA-boosting host Jeanine Pirro later blared. "Considering what a good time I might have!"

During the 2nd day of Fox'due south circular-the-clock coverage of Hillary-lookout man, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner unironically reported that "speculation over a possible third White Firm bid by Hillary Clinton" was "gaining steam."

The "steam," of course, was Fox's repeated coverage of a single speculative opinion piece. Nevertheless, Faulkner added, "I can't even believe nosotros're saying this."

Afterward airing a clip from Fox News host Tucker Carlson telling viewers that y'all can't dismiss the possibility of Clinton once once again running for president because "she is not ho-hum," Faulkner turned to her guests for reaction. Both of them, for vastly dissimilar reasons, rejected a potential Clinton comeback out of mitt.

"I tin tell you one thing, there is no style the Democrats will run Hillary Clinton," one-time Trump advisory board member Jason Meister said. "Not for the reasons that I remember Tucker said, actually. I think she is radioactive for a very specific reason," he added, citing her part in funding the Steele dossier.

Faulkner then turned to Fowler, one of the network's resident liberal pundits who has worked every bit a Democratic political activist. "Richard, has your political party run out of people in politics to run for the White House?" the host asked.

"No, nosotros oasis't," he chuckled. "I read the op-ed that got this all started in the Wall Street Periodical, past Schoen and Stein, and I idea it was utterly ridiculous and the arguments made absolutely no sense. Y'all can't say Hillary Clinton'south the most experienced candidate and a modify candidate at the same fourth dimension."

Fowler continued: "Which is why I give this argument piffling to no credence, not to mention the fact that Hillary Clinton is having a great time writing fiction novels and I'm pretty sure she enjoys doing that and doesn't desire to exist on the campaign trail. And I'k actually somebody in the Autonomous Party who has credentials."
