Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner was taken aback by Republican T.W. Shannon calling porn star and former stripper Stormy Daniels a “whore.”
Besides letting out an audible gasp, Faulkner would say afterwards, “It is not the wording that I would have used to describe Stormy Daniels, coming from T.W. Shannon.”
“This is what you’ve got to believe if you believe this case, because the Democrats can’t beat Donald Trump at the ballot box, they’re trying to beat him in the jury box,” the GOP politician said while discussing the trumped-up criminal hush money trial in New York City. “But the truth is, this case is built on two things. It’s built on a liar, a professional liar, and a whore. And I use that as a biblical term because she’s accepted money for sex.”
Faulker was uncomfortable with the term and let it be known, but Shannon, who was Oklahoma’s first black speaker of the House, was not to be deterred, bringing former Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen into the mix.
“But you’ve got the liar now who’s actually hawking himself out selling merch and propaganda based upon the trial. And you’ve got the whore who’s actually become the liar,” he continued. “I mean, this whole case in and of itself, flies in the face of our very democracy, our republic. Our founding fathers are turning over because at the end of the day, what you’ve got to believe, if you believe the case of Alvin Bragg, is that Donald Trump should have used campaign funds in order to obtain this agreement that he had with Stormy Daniels, as part of the agreement that they have as a nondisclosure. This is not a campaign expense. Cohen even admitted it yesterday.”
On this point, Faulkner was in agreement.
“The fact that this case has fallen apart, we see it happening before our very eyes,” her guest concluded. “And I’m so glad we’ve got the Speaker of the House and others there, because this is a constitutional crisis that we’re facing, and these people have taken an oath of office. They should be there in support of our president. Anybody who cares about this country and the Constitution.”
The latter remark was in reference to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) traveling to New York on Tuesday in a show of support for Trump — and a stand against the lawfare being waged against the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate — along with Vivek Ramaswamy, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL).
