Fox News' Chris Wallace: Taylor Testimony ‘Very Damaging' To Trump
2019-11-14
[Daily Caller] Fox News host Chris Wallace said that Ambassador William Taylor’s House testimony Wednesday was "very damaging" to President Donald Trump.

"I think that William Taylor was a very impressive witness and was very damaging to the president," Wallace said. "First of all, as you pointed out, he took very copious notes at almost every conversation when he put quotes in his opening statement, he said those were direct quotes from what was said."

He could've been deaf and mute and Chris "Son of Mike" would've still given him a tongue-bath. Pffft
"It also doesn’t hurt that he has a voice like Edward R. Murrow. He is a pretty impressive presence up there," he added.

"And I think very non-political. He went out of his way to talk about what he knew, what he was specifically testament to. The only thing he talked about was a strong feeling that it was in the U.S. national security interest to support Ukraine in the fight against Russia. But, he certainly wasn’t taking any partisan position." (RELATED: President Trump Promises Release Of ’Tantalizing’ First Phone Call With Ukraine)

#13  #NeverTrump and liberal folks seem to be living in an alternate world. It's really bizarre how different their take-away form events is.

#12  Standard Principal-Agent Problem in action: Wallace may be acting in own interest by toadying to the people he is interviewing and/or following the wishes of his progressively (pun intended) Leftward trending management at Fox -- but he doesn't seem to be dealing fairly with his consumers, the public...

Or he is R.O.A.D. (Retired On Active Duty) and is only going through the motions and just drawing his salary...

#11  Ref #10: Top one percent of his class at West Point, Vietnam veteran, 50 years in the DoS, blah, blah, blah...and most importantly: Deep State devotee.

New handler,...new day.

#10  I was impressed by Ambassador Taylor, just not the way that Chris Wallace was.

Top one percent of his class at West Point, Vietnam veteran, 50 years in the DoS, blah, blah, blah...and most importantly: Deep State devotee. Tells us all what a war hero he was as if that means we're supposed to trust him. Sorry. I know that many Rantburgers are veterans but then there are veterans like Taylor who give you a bad name. Just because a guy joins the army doesn't mean he's a good guy.

Got his panties in a wad because Trump didn't trust him and left him out of the loop. Trump knows a reptile when he sees one.

And, exactly, why is a little dust up between a rag-tag bunch of ethnic Russian rebels and the Ukrainian Army in Donbas a threat to U.S. security? Do you really believe that Vlad is about to roll his tanks into Poland? I don't.

And, as far as I'm concerned, Crimea has always been a part of Russia. All Putin did was take it back after Obama and McCain organized a coup in Kiev, or Kiyv, or whatever you call it.

I don't understand about the quid pro quo either. If Ukraine is as corrupt as I hear it is, and if Hunter Biden was getting his pockets lined, wouldn't it be wise for the President to find out what the fuck is really going on before he gives them half a billion dollars of tax payer money?

#9  Steve, multi-voting only happens on one side of the aisle.

#8  Very damaging indeed. Now I'm only going to vote for him two times, rather than three like I planned.

#7  From a bureaucrat loving reporter that has openly hated Trump, and I'm supposed to care what he says???

#6  So it was damaging when the Ambassador sat like a lump for several seconds when asked about Hunter? Or when there was any impeachable offenses?

Go over to ABC Chris where you can have your dick sucked by young interns all you want and leave the rational adults alone.

#2  Stop lying, you gullible sack of shit.

Here's this bullshitter a year ago after Day One of serial liar and partisan activist Christine Blowsey Ford's slander-fest, the Shitshow that was the Kavanaugh hearings:

During a break that followed the first 90 minutes of the hearing, Wallace said on Fox of Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, “This was extremely emotional, extremely raw and extremely credible.”

“Nobody could listen to her and talk about the assault and the impact it had on her life and not have your heart go out to her. And she obviously was traumatized by an event,” he continued. Referring specifically to the bizarre format of the hearing, Wallace added, “This is a disaster for the Republicans.”

#1  He went out of his way to talk about what he knew, what he was specifically testament to. The only thing he talked about was a strong feeling that it was in the U.S. national security interest to support Ukraine in the fight against Russia.

So the only think he knew was he had a strong feeling.

Bombshell! Or maybe a tingle.
