A discussion about former President Donald Trump and his debate performance ignited a heated war of words on a Fox News panel.
The co-hosts of “Outnumbered” locked horns after Fox News contributor Marie Harf made claims about Trump and white supremacy while also bringing up his remarks about migrants eating people’s pets.
Kayleigh McEnany echoed the complaints of many who ripped into the ABC News moderators of Trump’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, criticizing their evident bias as they repeatedly fact-checked Trump but let Harris slide.
“Well, look, I will answer that question by saying I was on with my friend Marc Thiessen last night, who’s a conservative Republican, and he made these same points about ABC,” Harf told her co-hosts. “But then what he said was, ‘If we’re complaining about the refs, we’re losing.’ So do Republicans wish there had been more fact-checks of Kamala Harris? Sure.”

“I would point out that Donald Trump got more than ten minutes more than Kamala Harris to speak last night. So he was given a lot more time to speak by the numbers and he had opportunities to use that time however he wanted. And the challenge was he used that time to take every bait that Kamala Harris put in front of him. He spewed lie after lie after lie after lie,” Harf declared.
“And I’m glad that the moderators did fact-check some of them. And I think that the American people last night saw, setting aside what ABC did or didn’t do, I think these are two very different candidates and a Donald Trump who, when put under pressure from Kamala Harris, you know, not Joe Biden,” Harf spewed.
“You mentioned lying a lot. But was it truthful for her to bring up a Charlottesville hoax, a blood bath hoax was that a lie?” McEnany interjected.
“Actually, I don’t think those are hoaxes. I have lived in Charlottesville. I have watched that over and over again. And it’s not just that, Kayleigh, there are so many times he has winked and nodded to white supremacists throughout his career,” Harf claimed. “It’s not in a vacuum here. He has told the Proud Boys that he supports things they do. He has dined with their leader. This isn’t in a vacuum here.”
“He has denounced white supremacy repeatedly,” McEnany fired back with facts.
But Harf continued her truth-challenged diatribe.
“While he embraces it repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, and again. If we’re talking about politics and whether, to Harris’s point, it will move the needle. We’re sitting here today talking about how close Donald Trump is to white supremacists. After a night…” she ranted before being interrupted.
“No, you are!” Harris Faulkner shot back as the other panelists agreed, saying, “That’s what you’re talking about.”
“Look, a lot of the American people are today. And look, if we’re talking about whether people are eating cats and whether he’s I mean, we are talking today,” Harf said.
“That is what you are talking about, white supremacy and cat-eating!” McEnany fired back.
“The American people, Emily, I believe, wanted to see how they would lower cost at the grocery store. How Kamala Harris would lower housing costs, how she would secure the border, how she would in two wars that, by the way, were created on her watch,” McEnany continued. “They weren’t thinking about cats and white supremacy. They got no answers from Kamala Harris on that.”
“That’s not what the focus groups show,” Harf contended as the panelists moved on.
