Election 2020

Fox Anchor Basically Begs Trump to Cool It With the ‘Stolen Election’ Crap, ‘People Don’t Want You to Do That!’

Stuart Varney is perhaps one of Fox Business Network’s most tiresome anchors thanks to his almost nonstop support of ex-president Donald Trump, but apparently, even he is asking Trump to get a clue. It appears even he is begging the former president to stop repeating lies about the 2020 election and creating a “toxic situation” — something that voters would prefer he avoids.

Varney, you may remember, has said some pretty foolish things about President Joe Biden, at one point suggesting he may need to use a teleprompter and listened unquestioningly when Lara Trump (Eric’s wife) blamed immigrants, and more specifically then-Chancellor Angela Merkel — not Nazis for Germany’s downfall.

Now Varney is singing a different tune, according to Mediaite. It’s about time.

On Tuesday’s edition of Varney & Co., the host interviewed Trump and told him as nicely as possible (at least 3 times) that he needs to knock it off with the election lies and to stop rehashing the election. Period. There was a lot of back and forth between host and guest, with Trump being selectively obtuse as usual.

“Well, what I hear from a lot of Republicans is that they don’t want you to look back to the 2020 election as rehash it,” Varney said. “They want to look forward to what we’re going to do with the economy and this society going forward. What do you say to that?”

“Well, I do that,” Trump fired back. “But if you don’t study what happened and if you don’t find out — we know what happened. All you have to do is see 2000 Mules (a ‘documentar’y by convicted felon and Trump crony Dinessh D’Souza) or go on Truth (Social). Take a look at Truth. You should someday talk about Truth as a business thing. It’s hot as a pistol, Truth Social (trust me, it’s not.)

Trump just can’t admit he lost to Biden…his ego won’t allow it.

Varney tried once again to get Trump off the topic.

“That’s not what people are talking about. People — people don’t want you to do that.”

Trump wasn’t swayed.

“No, I think — I think that you have to look back to find out — you have to look at history, Stuart. If you don’t look at history, you’re going to be lost. It’s going to happen again. You can’t let it happen again. You have to study.”

“And I know you say that, but there’s a vast portion of the Republican Party that disagrees with that,” Trump continued. “They are very upset about it. They’re very angry with what happened in the election. You take a look at the results, I mean every one of these states, every one of these swing states and beyond, but everyone in these swing states is proven, the evidence is so massive. The problem is the press, including Fox, doesn’t want to talk about it.”

“I — Okay. Mike Pence says —” Varney interjected. Unsuccessfully.

“You don’t want it to happen again, Stuart, is what I’m saying. You can’t let it happen again. And they have to study it again,” Trump said, undeterred. “They have to study it and they have to come out and do something.”

Varney responded that he was “getting the sense that the voters just don’t want to go back to a chaotic situation or a toxic situation or a really — you know, a negative situation. They want to be positive. They want to look forward to the future and be positive.”

Trump’s ego and refusal to admit defeat has caused millions of Americans to not trust our voting systems.

Trump ever the king of missing — or ignoring the point unless it revolves around him, responded by doing just that: Making it all about him. Again.

“Well, I understand that, Stuart. So, somebody robs the jewelry store of all the jewelry, you should just let them be alone, right? Just say okay, he got away with it,” Trump responded. “You know, I just — I disagree with that, Stuart.”

And with that, Varney threw in the towel with an “okay, all right.”

I would have been more than happy to tell Trump that the “jewels” in that so-called “jewelry story” were nothing more than rhinestones. That’s all Trump’s presidency was worth.
