Fox News Devotes Entire Segment To Attacking President Biden's Dog - Ring of Fire



Fox News is so desperate to attack President Biden that they have now sunk to a new low: Attacking his dog, Commander. Commander, along with Biden's other dog, Major, has bitten several Secret Service members over the years, and Fox thinks this is a reflection on Biden. The truth is that the network is just desperate for something to talk about so they don't have to address the failures of the Republicans in Congress, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Fox News is so desperate for a scandal to take down President Biden that they've been forced to create a new scandal that actually, believe it or not, has nothing to do with the impeachment. Because let's not forget, actually, earlier this week, Fox News accidentally debunked a lot of the Republican talking points about the Biden impeachment. So Fox was trying to make up for it by running a segment talking about how corrupt Biden is, because of course, his dog commander has bitten 11 people in the last year during, during his segment on the five this week. 'cause they voted devoted an entire segment to Commander biting members of the Secret Service. Fox News went completely off the rails in a way that honestly, after 20 years of doing this, I've never seen Fox News stoop to this kind of low, but here they are talking about how horrible President Biden's dog is. Take a, take a look

Dog. This again illustrates how this family is absolutely immune from any kind of accountability.

Sweetheart, deal for Hunter, sweetheart deal for commander. Exactly.

Uh, you we have to wonder, was Biden in the room every time? Is there a vibe or a sense of vulnerability of the owner that this dog feels he needs to constantly protect? What is the environment that is causing this ex extremely unusual situation? That's the question that has it's bad dog. Perhaps not the right training or perhaps such chaos that the dog Oh, interest is going bonkers. Yeah.

So the, the stress, you know, they had coke in the house, so Yeah, I didn't if he'd been to that certain lobby area, uh, just acting all out of himself. Look, this is really on the owner of the dog. Yeah. And, and I just wonder what's going on in that family that, that they don't get this dog some help. I mean, seriously. And if they,

Yeah. Did the dog get into the cocaine stash at the White House? Harris Faulkner wants to know, what does President Biden know about these biting incidents? I mean, I'm honestly surprised they're not calling him Joe Biden at this point. But, but this is, this is the depth to which these people will sink to try to come up with anything to attack President Biden on. But here's what really gets me about these idiotic segments like this. Somebody at a production meeting had to have brought up the fact that, Hey, hey, uh, did y'all know that that Commander, president Biden's dog has bitten a bunch of Secret Service people? Oh. Oh, that's interesting. That's really good. Can, can we, can we get a whole segment outta that? Yeah. I think we can get a segment outta that. Okay, listen, I need you, you're gonna put together graphics first.

Actually, you pull the research and get me all the lists of the incidents of the bites. You put 'em together at a graphic. So you two folks work together. We're gonna need some clips, some photographs of President Biden with the dog. You think you can handle that? Alright, good. That's on, on you. Then like, there was a whole meeting and like assignments given, because that's how TV works for the Biden's dog bit. People, segment people worked behind the scenes. They went home to their spouse or to their friends or roommates that night and were like, Hey, I got to work on a segment about Biden's dog biting people today. So that was, that was the thing that I did like, are y'all proud of yourselves? When you go home and you talk to the people you care about, do you speak of your job as if it's something you enjoy doing?

needs reliable 24/7 security. I can name many scenarios why.
Personally, I would rehome him or make sure there is a secured area he can live in while also being able to be socialized with trustworthy people.

unless it's an elderly dog. There are too many people running around the White House so that the dog would have a sense of familiarity with those people.

I ran into a similar situation this year with the neighbors downstairs. They brought in a pit bull as a puppy and a few months later it was a 35 pound dog who has crapping on the concrete patio downstairs while the temperature was over 100 degrees. The dog was digging at the wooden fence trying to get underneath it so it could escape. The man (an ex-con who wasn't on the lease) responsible for the dog would let it roam without a lease and there are children that are 3-4 years old in two other apartments on this side of the building. It was an accident waiting to happen, but the woman (who was on the lease) couldn't keep up with rent since neither of them had jobs and they were evicted earlier this month.

Unfortunately, the White House is such a hectic place with dozens of staff members and Secret Service agents so it isn't possible for a German Shepherd to feel comfortable with everyone.
