‘Cmon Bruh’: Fox Panel Devolves Into Shouting Match Over Biden’s Handling Of Economy

A Fox News panel devolved into chaos over President Joe Biden’s age after former D.C. Democratic Party Chair Scott Bolden argued the economy is serving Americans well.

A new Wall Street Journal poll found former President Donald Trump leads Biden by 11 points on the question of who had a better record. Trump also led Biden by 10 points in perceived mental fitness to hold office. Fifty-eight percent of those polled said the economy has gotten worse over the past two years. A majority of respondents disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy.

The poll surveyed 1,500 registered voters between Aug. 24 and 30 and had a plus or minus 2.5% margin of error.

Biden addressed concerns about his age on Monday, arguing that with age comes wisdom.

Host Julie Banderas said the poll indicates it’s not about age and wisdom but rather how Biden ages.

Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell said polls show a continuing decline amongst Americans who think Biden is mentally fit to be president, especially among black voters who don’t see Biden an a capable leader.

Banderas noted age concerns aren’t a partisan issue, citing Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell’s recent freeze ups. (RELATED: ‘Rent Is Too Damn High’: CNN’s Poppy Harlow Questions Dem Consultant Over Biden Economy)

“He is an elected official and so when you see somebody freezing like that you have to wonder can they make decisions properly?”

“I think it’s a difference between age in Biden and mental acuity as well as illness in regard to Mitch McConnell. I pray for him. My father would zone out like that before he passed. I’ve seen it,” Bolden said. “I think there is a lot more going on with Mitch McConnell than otherwise thought.”

Bolden then argued that Biden is polling just fine among black voters, arguing Biden has a “legislative record” to “run on” and alleging the GOP is ageist.

Banderas cut in to say she doesn’t believe it’s ageism before arguing the black vote is suffering under Biden’s policies.

“You have some of the lowest black unemployment in the history of this country,” Bolden fired back. “How do you say that African Americans – name me one poll that says the majority of African Americans aren’t gonna vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats. The GOP has nothing to offer.”

“According to Fox News itself, support from Democrats has gone down 91% in 2020 to 63% when we’re talking about – among African-Americans,” Caldwell fired back.

“I don’t believe that poll,” Bolden said.

“Come on bruh,” Caldwell cut in.

“It’s coming from Fox. I don’t believe it,” Bolden doubled down.

“You don’t have to believe it,” Caldwell said as the two talked over one another. “You know and I know that African Americans, we are talking about folks who are middle class and below, are not feeling Joe Biden. They do not like him. His policies have not amplified the economic opportunity for African-Americans. Many folks are dismissing him on places where African-Americans get their news–”

“That’s just not true–” Bolden said.

“The shade room as an example. Yes! It is true, it is true,” Caldwell said to a defiant Bolden. It is true to fully recognize it. People are worse off than they were before Joe Biden took office.”

Bolden then argued the U.S. has the strongest economy, that inflation is trending downward, wages are growing and that he concedes “America’s not feeling it.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
