#FireChrisHayes Trends on Twitter After MSNBC Host Dared to Cover Sexual Assault Allegations Against Biden

#MeToo, but not her!

For today’s dose of liberal hypocrisy, liberals are now demanding that MSNBC host Chris Hayes be fired by the network for daring to cover the increasingly credible sexual assault allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden.

Democrats were so up in arms about his segment that #FireChrisHayes was a trending Twitter hashtag on Thursday.

Tara Reade has alleged that Biden cornered her in his senate office in 1993 and forcibly inserted his fingers inside of her. Her claims have been corroborated by several people she told about the incident at the time. Reade’s former neighbor Lynda LaCasse, who says she was told about the assault back at the time, has even went public saying that she’s a strong Biden supporter and will vote for him, but that she “still [had] to come out and say this … I would want somebody to stand up for me. It takes a lot of guts to do what [Reade] is doing.”

MSNBC ran seemingly endless coverage of the far-less-credible claims by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his nomination process without push back, of course.

During his segment, Hayes brought on New York magazine’s Rebecca Traister, who had penned an op-ed criticizing Biden for not addressing Reade’s allegations. She discussed her thoughts on the matter with the host, saying that his silence is creating an awkward time for his female supporters.

“What this is creating is a kind of a perfect storm where the women who are being asked to support his opponent are now being asked to answer for these charges,” Traister told Hayes. “In part because of the vacuum created by Joe Biden who is not yet really directly answering these questions, and certainly, not doing what I wish he would, which is to say: ‘Please direct your questions about these allegations to me, and not the women that are out there offering their support to my candidacy.’”

“The man in question, the nominee, the former vice president, is going to have to address them,” Hayes argued. “And not have Stacey Abrams or anyone else, or [Sen.] Kirsten Gillibrand do that.”

Abrams has been campaigning to be Biden’s VP pick and was busted spouting talking points handed out by the campaign, claiming that he was cleared in an investigation by the New York Times. The newspaper has disputed that claim.

Sen. Gillibrand has also been massively hypocritical on the issue, going from “believe women” and cheerleading Blasey Ford, to supporting Biden despite the questions about his behavior with women.

“So when we say believe women, it’s for this explicit intention of making sure there’s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth, to be heard,” Gillibrand said during the conference call. “And in this allegation, that is what Tara Reade has done. She has come forward, she has spoken, and they have done an investigation in several outlets. Those investigations, Vice President Biden has called for himself. Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations and I support Vice President Biden.”

Now, the liberal mob is coming for anyone who dares to even discuss Reade’s allegations, as seen by the #FireChrisHayes trend.

During Gillibrand’s infamous speech in support of Blasey Ford on the Senate floor, she asserted that “this is not a court of law; this is a job interview,” saying they do not have to hold Kavanaugh up to the same standards needed for a conviction.

Apparently that same standard does not exclude Democrats who have been accused with even more credibility.

WATCH: Someone Farted During Joe Biden’s Campaign Live Stream

Well… that’s embarrassing.

The internet is going crazy over a clip from former Vice President Joe Biden’s livestreamed campaign event with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf in which someone appears to have passed gas.

The Trump campaign will probably have an absolute field day with this clip.

Social media users speculated that the culprit was Biden, as Governor Wolf appeared to grimace slightly at the sound.

“[Mitch McConnell] says they should declare bankruptcies if you can. And this isn’t some math exercise. This is about people. It’s about making sure you don’t have to cut those teachers and firefighters, police officers, and cut critical healthcare programs,” the former vice president said before the flatulence sound. “Or stop work on roads and bridges. So, what does the human cost of lack of state and local fiscal relief look like in Pennsylvania?”

Wolf, despite his seemingly involuntary facial response, continued to discuss issues in his state and did not comment about the noise.

“Leader of the free world can’t control his bowels for 3 minutes,” one Twitter user snarked.

This incident is just the latest in a long line of gaffes for the aging candidate and career politician. From discussing enjoying children hopping on his lap, to forgetting the name of the coronavirus and how many grandchildren he has, it seems as though Biden just can’t stop giving fodder to his rivals.

The incident reminded people an incident with Rep. Eric Swalwell where it sounded as though he passed gas during an interview with MSNBC. He denied that he did it, but social media users were skeptical.

“It was not me!!!!!” Swalwell told reporters at the time. “Ha. And I didn’t hear it when I was speaking.”

The Biden campaign has not yet commented on the apparent flatulence. We will update this post if and when they do.

Joe Biden: ‘If You Don’t Vote For Me, You Ain’t Black’

Former Vice President Joe Biden told African-Americans that “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” during a shocking appearance on the Breakfast Club on Friday morning.

The contentious interview lead to Biden asserting that his campaign was doing enough to reach out to black voters before he made the jaw-dropping remark.

The radio show’s host Charlamagne had asked Biden about rapper Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, claiming that that Democrats take black voters for granted. In response, Biden pointed to his overwhelming win in South Carolina.

“I kicked everybody’s — excuse me,” Biden said,stopping himself from swearing.

“I need you to say that!” Charlamagne fired back.

“I won every single county. I won the largest share of the black vote that anybody had, including Barack,” Biden continued. “They’re the folks that, as they say up my way, brung me to the dance. That’s how I get elected every single time.”

Biden also addressed his support for the controversial crime bill that implemented harsher penalties for minor drug offenses, which has largely been credited for more people of color being sent to prison.

“The crime bill didn’t increase mass incarceration, other things increased mass incarceration,” Biden said.

“I know a lot of weed smokers,” Biden also claimed.

He also told the host that he is considering “multiple” black women to be his running mate.

At the end of the interview, a staffer told Biden that he was out of time.

“You can’t do that to black media!” Charlamagne said.

“I do that to white media and black media,” Biden replied, promising to come back on the show.

“If you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden said.

“It don’t have nothing to do with Trump — it has to do with the fact that I want something for my community,” Charlamagne countered.

Naturally, the racist comment has drawn fierce criticism from the black community, as well as the Trump campaign and RNC.

Editor of ‘Non-Partisan’ VA Paper Accidentally Emails GOP Senate Candidate Calling Her a ‘Dimwit’

Witzke is an ‘America First’ conservative.

The publisher of the Virginia News-Gazette emailed Republican Delaware Senate candidate Lauren Witzke and mistakenly sent along an conversation in which the editor called her a “dimwit.”

Witzke is an ‘America First’ conservative who is running on similar policies to what President Donald Trump campaigned on. She is also promising to fight for a full 10 year moratorium on all immigration and restoration of the American nuclear family.

Some how, the editor of the News-Gazette accidentally ended up on Witzke’s donor email list by mistake. After sending out a campaign email opposing the Delaware governor’s lock down orders, the Witzke campaign received an email from Matt Paxton, publisher of The News-Gazette.

It appears that the editor had forwarded the email to Paxton, adding “I’m not sure how we got on this dimwit’s mailing list.” When tried to email the Witzke campaign asking to be removed from the list, he replied to all, which forwarded along the chain where the editor called her a dimwit.

 

Witzke responded to the email, saying “thanks for letting us know. Are you aware that you forwarded the original message from your editor along with this thread? Not a great look for the ‘non-partisan’ media.”

Paxton responded by claiming that it was sent on purpose.

“I am aware. and sending unwanted, inapplicable emails willy-nilly to every little media outlet within hundreds of miles, not even in a contiguous state, meets the definition in my mind, and I’d say that whether this came from a candidate of the Democrat, Republican, Whig, Prohibition, Green, Libertarian or Socialist Worker Party,” Paxton responded. “We get enough spam as it is. I am not ‘non-partisan’ when it comes to spam.”

The District Herald called Paxton to ask whether or not the paper is indeed meant to be non-partisan. He claimed that they are and that he had never even heard of Witzke prior to the email being sent to him. He also claimed, contrary to his response to Witzke, that the email was sent by mistake.

“Umm… I think that was an internal email, a forwarded email, that inadvertently was sent,” Paxton responded.

When asked again if the paper is considered to be non-partisan, Paxton asserted that “I don’t even know who this person is. This Lauren Witzke.”

“She sent an email to us, we’re three states away,” Paxton added, seemingly frustrated.

The District Herald again asked if the paper is considered to be Democrat-leaning or if it is non-partisan.

“We’re non-partisan. We’re a community newspaper. We really don’t cover anything that is doesn’t happen in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

Witzke, for her part, told the District Herald that the paper should be ashamed of itself.

“As if it wasn’t obvious enough, the far-left news media once again tipped its partisan hand. The staff at The News-Gazette, which lost any credibility it had left with one single email today, ought to be ashamed of itself,” Witzke said. “The paper’s management should be immediately fired and replaced with those who will report the news honestly.”

She added that it is “little surprise that a Democrat paper in Virginia owned by people from Illinois is as sexist as Ralph Northam is racist, or that this level of frothing hate seems to be the norm in the small town that kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family out of a chicken dinner restaurant for being associated with the Trump campaign.”

In 2018, Sanders was kicked out of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington for working at the White House. The owner of the restaurant, Stephanie Wilkinson, said that she was taking a stand against a person who defends “inhumane and unethical” presidential policies.

The incident caught the attention of President Donald Trump himself, and the restaurant claimed they had to close for two weeks because of all the negative attention. Still, the media largely defended their actions, even continuing to write glowing portraits of the incident a year later.
