For some reason, right-wingers keep pushing the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden is going to drop out of the presidential race and Michelle Obama will become the nominee.
On Fox News' Outnumbered show, cohost Michele Tafoya suggested President Biden is some kind of Manchurian candidate. “Biden isn't who we thought he was. He didn't bring us what we thought we were getting, which was normalcy and maybe some reaching across the aisle and all of those positives we were promised. Instead, I feel like the country is just turned upside down and gone downhill on rollerskates,” she said.
Tafoya moved on to suggest that after “sitting with family around the Christmas tree, around the holiday table,” and considering all the bad things he’s doing to the country and the party, he decided that he will step aside from running at the Democratic convention.
After some discussion as to whether California Gov. Gavin Newsom would step in, cohost Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery announced, “I think Michelle is the one who parachutes in at the convention.”
Kennedy also claimed that Newsom’s track record is too “horrible” for a successful run and that a lot of independents would prefer Michelle Obama.
But what about Vice President Kamala Harris, cohost Harris Faulkner asked.
“When there was a vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, they should have put her there and said, ‘Good job, little lady,’” Kennedy sneered.
Then the show’s “one lucky guy,” Dr. Marc Siegel, the medical version of lawyer Jonathan Turley, did his part to push the baseless conspiracy theory further. “Is it an accident that the convention is in Chicago? I mean that certainly sounds like it could be a set up,” he said.
I love me some Michelle Obama. She’s brilliant, she’s gorgeous, she’s kind and she’s charismatic – everything TFG never has been and never will be. But she is definitely not running for president.
“I’ve never expressed any interest in politics. Ever,” admits Michelle. “I mean, I agreed to support my husband. He wanted to do it, and he was great at it. But at no point have I ever said, ‘I think I want to run.’ Ever. So, I’m just wondering: Does what I want have anything to do with anything? Does who I choose to be have anything to do with it?”
Nope, when Fox has propaganda to push, what she wants has nothing to do with it.
