Democratic Voters Step All Over Harris Faulkner's Right Wing Talking Points

Democratic members of a roundtable discussion on Fox ahead of this Tuesday's elections stepped all over host Harris Faulkner's right wing lies and talking points about the government shutdown and SNAP benefits.

I'm really surprised they do these sorts of segments at all, because these lying hosts don't hold up so well when it's not a bunch of professional right wing liars on with them, or their usual bunch of milquetoast, both siderist, conserva-Dems that populate so many of the shows on the network, and are generally outnumbered by wingers by at least two to one or more.

Fox host Harris Faulkner snaps as effort to place shutdown blame smacked down on live TV:

Democrats have pushed for subsidies for the Affordable Care Act — set to expire at the end of this year — to be extended in any spending bill, whereas Republicans have held firm in refusing to back Democrats’ demands, instead proposing a temporary spending bill to give lawmakers more time to debate the issue. Democrats have refused to entertain any spending measure that does not include an extension to the subsidies.
