‘Ought To Be Ashamed’: Fox News Analyst, Faulkner Put Liberal Guest Into Blender For Biden Defense

Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell and host Harris Faulkner lambasted former New York State Sen. David Carlucci on Friday after he tried to defend President Joe Biden’s mental acuity.

Special counsel Robert Hur declined to pursue criminal charges against Biden despite alleging him having willfully possessed classified information covering important national security matters, according to his report. Hur said Biden, if forced to sit trial, “would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Hur also said it would be “difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.” (RELATED: CNN Reporter Calls Out Biden For Spreading False Claims About Special Counsel Report)

Carlucci tried to defend Biden’s mental state, arguing other leaders, including former President Donald Trump, make gaffes and that ultimately Biden made “honest mistakes” according to his understanding of the report.

“Any Democrat, including you, David, that chooses to come on this channel or any other channel to defend the president ought to be ashamed of yourself. This is a very, very, very serious issue and that special counsel’s report says to me, that if I own a Popeye’s Chicken restaurant Joe Biden wouldn’t be up to the job to be a cashier there. This man has all of our lives in his hand. There is a war in the Middle East now which could turn into World War III,” Caldwell said.

“He could possibly forget a detail and order his generals to do something to put our lives in jeopardy,” Caldwell continued. “We have an open border that terrorists are pouring through. We have drugs that are coming in. We are not in a situation where we can play games with the president of the United States and the fact that you are sitting here saying this is an okay situation for him is not the right approach that any patriot, no matter what political party you are part, of should be saying. It’s disappointing to hear you say that, David. It really is.”

Carlucci said he was more disappointed that the panel was focusing on Biden’s memory mistakes, with Faulkner jumping in to say that Biden couldn’t remember certain details even in his press briefing.

Biden said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was the “president of Mexico” and also forgot which church parish the rosary he wears in honor of his late son Beau is from.

Faulkner then brought up other gaffes Biden made in recent days.

Faulkner then brought up a recent NBC News poll that found more than 75% of voters have “major or moderate” concerns about Biden’s mental and physical health going into a potential second term.

Carlucci argued that voters shouldn’t focus on a “few gaffes” and occasional misspeaking but rather focus on Biden’s record.

“You should at least be honest enough with the American people. This is the number one cable network in the country. A lot of people are watching you right now,” Caldwell interjected before saying Carlucci should say that maybe it’s time for considerations to be made about Biden and his mental acuity.

Carlucci rejected Caldwell’s assertion before Faulkner ended the panel.

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.
